Every Wednesday, Administrative Editor Jordan Breen welcomes a member of the mixed martial arts media into “Press Row” on the Sherdog.com blog. This week, Breen is joined by MMAJunkie and USA Today's Mike Bohn.
With Mirko “Cro Cop”-Gabriel Gonzaga 2 in the books and the announcement of the less-than-desirable Ronaldo “Jacare” Souza-Chris Camozzi rematch due to Yoel Romero's injury, Breen and Bohn take a look at the current state of rematches in MMA. The two discuss the surprising charm of Cro Cop-Gonzaga 2, how the Camozzi rematch hurts Souza's chances to challenge for the UFC middleweight title and what makes a good MMA rematch. Breen and Bohn look at some of the best rematches and rivalries in MMA history, why some of them were so surprising and unpredictable and which under-the-radar rematches they'd like to see in the Octagon.
Breen and Bohn also investigate the rematch possibilities for several notable MMA stars, including Frankie Edgar's potential to square off with Benson Henderson and Jose Aldo again, whether Joseph Benavidez can ever earn another UFC title shot and the historical significance of a Demetrious Johnson-Dominick Cruz rematch at 135 pounds.
