At least they had the good sense to leave him on facebook

Looking forward to seeing Timur Valiev. He looked really good in his WSOF run and I was hoping the UFC would pick him up along with Moraes since he was clearly the next title challenger there, but this could be a good opportunity for him.

He actually went "ow, I don't want to do this type of fighting ever again; that poo poo hurt" in the backstage footage they posted, so I hope he doesn't become a regular there unless they pay surprisingly well.

That's probably a good decision for everyone involved. My guess is that they are paying surprisingly well (relative to c-tier MMA paychecks) and that they'll go broke in a show or two.

I'm guessing they hadsome dumb initial investment to be able to pay em cause I doubt you can make that kind of money they'd need to pay the roster they had on a podunk show in Wyoming. Not that like, anyone there is a person who gets paid real money, but convincing 8+ ex-UFC/Bellator fighters to re-enact Bloodsport is something that I'd imagine is typically out of the budget of a random Wyoming promoter, even with them jumping right into PPV for extra cash.

Wyoming gets a lot of rustic techbro money so someone willing to drop a half mil to take in a quarter isn’t that far fetched.

It's actually a pretty worthwhile card, too. Buscape vs Will Brooks, Efrain Escudero vs Jason High, Brian Foster punching a man, Kayla Harrison's debut.

Yeah I expect Mousasi to gently caress Rory up. If Weidman was having trouble holding him down, I seriously doubt Rory will be able to, and I'd be surprised to see Rory win the stand up.

i still don't think i've ever seen such a one sided fight between two ufc caliber guys. maybe sherk/gsp or rumble/bader but those had big physical disparities. machida just made thiago look like he didn't know how to fight.

Bader wasn't dwarfed by Rumble. Rumble is huge, don't get me wrong, but Bader is huge as well. He was just really really afraid of getting hit by Rumble and with really good reason.
