Quick Zenith-Related Poll

[The Sandmen]

Currently, 2 of our top 4 women fighters will not be fighting at Zenith (Sarah Kaufman and Sarah D'Alelio). Since it is customary for all top fighters to fight at this card, the most exciting solution would be this:

- Gina Carano drops the belt, and fights D'Alelio (in that "highly anticipated rematch" everyone allegedly wanted to see)
- Established tournament winners and current number 1 contenders Sarah Kaufman and Marloes Coenen fight for the belt at Zenith.

This gives us 2 epic super-fights rather than just the Coenen-Carano title fight (Carano KO'ed Coenen in un-controversial fashion earlier this very season).

What this accomplishes:
- Gives us the rematch everyone screamed for earlier in the season after the cut stoppage.
- Gives Phoenix the fight he has been wanting since D'Alelio came into the league
- Gives us 2 excellent fights instead of 1
- Gives us 4 top 4 fighters, instead of 2
- opens the women's title picture WIDE open for new-comers
- makes the FOLLOWING title fight more interesting (currently, Carmouche vs. Yamanaka is on deck for #1 contender)
- avoids a predictable rematch from earlier this season in one of our biggest women's title fights of the year
- a new title holder WILL emerge from Zenith (and one of those 2 members WILL get a title win point)

What problems arise:
- Carano drops her belt
- Kaufman has less time to prepare for her title fight
- if Carano wins the belt again next season, her team could get another point for that win

How will Sandmen resolve those problems
- Her dropping the belt only affects her team (me) and I would actually be happier to do this - it this makes Zenith A LOT more exciting
- Ferocity was contacted, and has said the title fight has no bearing on her upgrade plans
- I will not take a point if Carano wins the belt back before losing another fight

I want, no, wait, I NEED to see that awesomeness that would be all four of them fighting on that card, and to have such a fresh fight for the championship between those two is insanely kick ass.

Sure, if you want to add that Carano is ineligible for Grand Prix as well, we can add that too. As I said, anything to make ManMMA 200 as awesome as it can be. 200!!!!

vote, I am closing this incredibly soon so I can finish booking Zenith.

lol Didn't I already decline this senario? You challenged; I declined. But now you're basically going to force it on me by masking it with this? Why couldn't it be Carano vs. Coenen for the title, as scheduled, then D'Alelio vs. Kaufman? This really makes no sense.

[The Sandmen]

Because that would be you, again, trying to shady your way into a title fight by trying to take Kaufman's #1 contender spot. Luckily, this is a poll, and the majority can decide what they want to see for their women's title fight. Carano vs. Coenen (again), or Kaufman vs. Coenen for some fresh new blood in the title picture.

And remember, YOU wanted Carano vs. D'Alelio, so now you have a chance to have it. Free of change

[xx - Former Phoenix Fight Club]

Nope. You're the one putting the idea in folks heads that I'm trying to weasel a title shot out of it; I stood down on that a long time ago. All I wanted was a non-title fight cuz I really have no worries about D'Alelio making it to another title fight. Do I want the title? Of course. Who doesn't when they put as much as I have into Sarah D? But all I wanted at this point was to see a proper Carano/D'Alelio fight without any bullshit like that lame ass cut stoppage; win, lose or draw.

Honestly, you're the one actually continuing to keep it being a bigger thing than it needed to be. All because you had to change the challenge rule to allow champion to accept non-title fights out of weightclass; all I did was point out that it wasn't fair. It's not really my problem that the truth pisses you off.

I'm not impressed by any of Carano performance If Lesbot D'alelio is scared I'll take the fight and promise only to feel her up once during it

[The Sandmen]
