**Lindland Vs. Newton SIGNED** February 2nd
So i hope this is the first time this is posted but, Carlos Newton vs. Matt Lindland will take place in the IFL on FEB. 2nd in Houston

http://www.mmaweekly.com/absolutenm/...3011&zoneid=13

UFC only signs exclusive deals, so he could not fight for IFL and UFC
THAT MEANS NO UFC!!!! = FUCK, i wanted to see him against franklin and silva

He could sign after February but i just don't see it happening, and Lindland is not the kind of guy to go against his word, so i dont think he is ever going to sign exclusive

this still leaves open PRIDE because they have never been exclusive and in the past allowed Cage Rage and many other org. such as SHOOTO, PANCRASE to have some of their fighters, i think that they will be fine with the IFL, IFL CEO KURT OTTO seems like a really reasonable guy who wants to push the sport foward so i believe if lindland wanted in on PRIDE OTTO would let him

What do you guys think about the fight? and are you dissapointed no UFC at least until FEB.?

LINDLAND TKO NEWTON RD 1

It's kind of a joke that the "#1 ranked 183/185 lb fighter" doesn't fight for either major organization.

But the real joke is the ranking and not Lindland's choice of where/when to fight. Seriously wtf.

You must not have watched any of his fights for a long as time then. I suggest you do, he is not a boring fighter.

Great match for Lindland.. this'll be a nice name for Lindland to beat. I like the Ronin, but Woogie is hawt at the moment.

Lindland is not number 1 in any serious rankings.

I will wait to see how Newton looks against Renzo before making any predictions.
