California is doing something about weight cutting.

http://www.mmafighting.com/2017/5/16/15648532/csac-passes-ground-breaking-package-of-weight-cutting-regulations

They don't want you walking around at any more than 110% of your fighting weight, and fighters will be licensed by weight. Worth reading the whole article.

He has come home, where he belongs. The Ancient Mariner returns to lead his first team to glory, forever and ever. Amen!


“If we have a fighter contracted for 155 and they’re 195 pounds 30 days out, maybe it’s time to get with the promoter, get with the medical committee and talk about this to see if it’s really appropriate for this fight,” Foster said. “It does happen.”

It's rude of them to pick on Matt Serra.

I don't understand how people can look at heavyweight and think "lets cut this in half" when the talent well is empty after #3 (generous) in the rankings

On Bisping's podcast yesterday he was saying that neither he or GSP were contacted about the fight being off and that his left knee is so hurt he can't straighten it and can't train at all and he probably needs a while before his next fight.

So it doesn't sound like he'll be fighting Romero anytime soon.

I don't blame him. Then again I also won't consider him anything more than a fluke until he defends, so I guess I'm just not that invested.

I bet it'll feel better when Dana comes around saying you're getting a bit more for your next fight buddy and knocks a 0 on the end.

He did defend the belt.
It might have been against someone who is old enough to be his granddad but it was a defence

Bisping going for the Fabian strategy against Romero. Continues to evade until Romero turns to dust and blows away.

I don't think it surprising that Conor signed the fight he relentlessly pitched which will make him more in one fight that he will over his entire MMA career.

Yeah, Conor was never going to be the difficult side of the deal to get done. He's going to make way, way more money then he ever would in an MMA fight. Floyd will be the tricky one to get signed.

For sure. I just never thought things would even get this far. It doesn't look great for the UFC if they can't do the deal now.

turns out my beautiful boy talked about his knee problems and suggested an October GSP fight on May 8, which was 2 days before Dana scrapped GSP/Bisping

Conor-Floyd is such a weird fight because intellectually I know it's just a money-grubbing sham but emotionally I want to bask in the spectacle of it. Plus the one in a million chance of Conor KOing Floyd would be so sweet.
