I've been saying for ages that even though people are signed to the UFC, have the non-title / top contender fights in their lovely divisions (lhw, mw, w135 and w145) on the cards of their premiere feeder leagues. It gives the feeder leagues some name / production value and could drive viewership of these organisations while simultaneously not forcing us to watch lovely fights that honestly aren't ufc calibre.

Anyways, did Anderson mention a weight for the contest? If he did, I missed it. I believe Anderson when he says he has nothing left to prove. He seems to like Conor and think it would be fun.

Still, 167 pound Anderson is loooong gone.

i think women's 145 has the same sort of problem that men's HW is sometimes argued to have in that any woman who is both genuinely athletic and can't make 145 is probably doing a sport with more prestige like olympic field events or lifting or swimming or whatever.

Are there many elite female athletes out there who are too big to make 145 if they were fighters? The famous "Big Female Athlete" is Serena Williams, and according to google she's 5'9" and 150 lbs - pretty much the same as Ronda.

Well there's a couple things: 1 is that they underreport the weight of female athletes much in the same way that male athletes weight is sometimes overreported, but again look at people like swimmers, shotputters, that sort of thing. Katy Ledecky, for example, is 6'0" 159 pounds, and Allison Schmitt is 6'1" 163lbs. They're both swimmers. If you are a woman with huge muscles and into athletics that's the kind of place you tend to get funneled to.

I'm not necessarily saying there's thousands of women like this out there. Just that the few that are are definitely not doing MMA. Even if they all were it would probably still be a thin division.

The ABC just recommended some more changes to the unified rules of MMA which will be voted on in July.

1) Instant Replay. For matches where replay is available, they recommended that the referee (not the promoter or sanctioning body, it can only be called for by the ref) be allowed to go to replay if he suspects that a foul may have ended a match. He can not go to replay for fouls that do not end a match or to see if a fighter tapped. Apparently replay is currently available in Nevada, who knew?

2) Threshold for technical decisions. We currently have a 2/3, 3/5 system where matches are a no contest if fights have to be prematurely stopped before the end of the 2nd round in a 3 round fight or the end of the 3rd round of a 5 round fight. (due to fouls, cuts, or other things that are not a KO or sub) The recommendation is to go to the scorecards if the fight is stopped during the 2nd round of a 3 round fight or the 3rd round of a 5 round fight, and the partial round can also be scored.

Aside from that, the other changes involve rules for how to wrap hands, and they want to clarify that if you lose control of a bodily function, you will lose by TKO.

Cool I thought this was a sport for people who want to be a loving fighter & compete with their whole hearts to crush the dreams and life of another man but I guess actually it's Barbie time mall karate. Like for loving real?? The goal is to use your ENTIRE body and ALL techniques to defeat the opponent! How can you even call this real fighting if it's illegal to poo poo
