He also just said that Jon Jones will likely fight the winner of DC vs Rumble in July so I look forward to Bones' next coke-fueled disaster/drug test failure

At this point it feels like the only question is whether it happens before the fight or after he wins the title (the latter would probably be far funnier)

Jones beats up DC to unify the belts, gets popped again, and DC goes back to being Interim Champ in the meanwhile while Jon goes on his 20th redemption story

If the OSP fight is indicative of the new post-USADA/dick pills/coke bender Jones, I think DC can beat him, although Jon making DC cry in the Octagon again would be more entertaining

Rogan and Cormier would be fine. Anik is just a speak and spell with a spreadsheet in front of him.

Anik is much better when his voice doesn't blend in with Florian's, and his post fight interviews are pretty good

for real though, getting punched in the tits loving hurts and im honestly always really astonished at miesha's ability to just not react to getting hit there at all. i recall someone teeping her right in the chest and i physically winced.

The only time I remember it bothering somebody was Jojo - Letourneau

definitely. i've done no conclusive research but it certainly seems like pretty fighters get pushed harder in the women's division whereas the UFC happily pushed Brock Lesnar who is only described that way in the sentence "pretty hosed up colon".

They also tried to push Cyborg in spite of her trying to commit career suicide at every turn, even though she roided herself into the Joker

So, Holly then.

They could fold the Invicta 145lb division into the UFC like they did the WEC and it would still be a wasteland

She was very nasty to Randa so yea, agree with you here, watching her get destroyed against JC was a lot less painful because of what a nasty person she came across as on TUF. Very much a bully.

I try to take reality TV with a grain of salt but all of the "mean girls" on that season appear to be every bit as awful as they seemed

Aldo has also been the #1 Featherweight in the world before the UFC had the division, and fought (and beat) nearly every FW worth mentioning. Conor's rise has been nothing short of amazing, but barely going 1-1 with Nate Diaz in vanity fights while not defending your belts isn't nearly as impressive.

Did Anderson retire? Because he should.

It's probably an unpopular opinion here but I completely agree, watching the former P4P best fighter on the planet win unconvincing, somewhat boring fights against fringe top-10 opponents is pretty unappealing. Unless they give him the super fights against the likes of GSP that he asked for, that could be fun.

When does Cyborg get off her suspension? and start the countdown for popping again?

Supposedly a year from when she popped, so December maybe? Hopefully they throw the book at her and she takes the full two years.

My favorite Nunes moment so far is when she comes out looking like she was going to fight smart and keep Ronda on the end of her punches, then immediately brawling after she hurts Ronda and realizes Ronda has nothing for her.

Remember when Shinya Aoki fought that kickboxer under mixed rules in Dream and got hilariously knocked out after acting like a loving idiot in the kickboxing round? They should make Conor vs Floyd a mixed rules match for the most potential hilarity.

Maia vs GSP title eliminator

Apr 25, 2014

Did I miss something about GSP going to 185 or is this just speculation? From what I understand he's not one of the bigger WWs and he's even talked about dropping to 155 before, and I'm not sure how well he'd do against some of the monsters like Yoel

155 coincidentally would be a good weight for him to fight Conor

GSP would double-leg Conor into the cheap seats, if GSP can make 155 comfortably then I think that's the worst possible matchup for him
