Looks like these guys just got picked up to fight at the GFC, Gracie fighting championship. It mentioned Wes Sims will be fighting there too. Its cool to see that they are fighting but id MUCH rather see them in the ufc myself....

Lindland is pretty much done with the UFC.

Jras0001 · 02-14-2006, 07:27 PM

is there that big of a rift between them?

I don't think we will be seeing Lindland in the UFC anytime soon.

Lindland is simply too unlikable I suppose. His attitude has rubbed many along the way, including during negotiations with Pride from what I've read. While he is very effective and talented, he is simply not fun to watch for me. But that's just my opinion.

From the Team Quest website...

Matt is a better fight then you. He is an Olympic silver medalist, and he is the number one ranked fighter at 185. That should be enough, but unfortunately Matt doesn't have gold around his waist, and doesn't get the respect he deserves from the major organizations. So he is forced to keep hurting people until he gets the respect he deserves.

BTW, Baroni confirmed on MMAWeekly radio that he is NOT fighting in this event. With his relationship with Lindland, I was somewhat surprised to hear he was going to be on the same card anyway.
