And he got a 45 day medical suspension. It's not like they're throwing him back in there tomorrow.

JDS is 4th in the HW rankings, so he should be fighting someone in the top 5 or just outside of it. Who do you want him to fight that isn't "so dangerous"? It's heavyweight. Everyone at heavyweight hits like a freight train.

Maybe Travis Browne I guess? He still hits hard but gets boxed up by JDS pretty easily I'd say. Can't imagine the payday would be as good for fighting the 9th ranked guy as opposed to the 5th ranked.

Well, putting him in with Mark Hunt is a good way to determine how durable he is. Really looking forward to that Auckland card, guess it's too late at this point in time to get Kai Kara-France on it though.

Embedded #1 for 212 is up. I completely forgot that was this weekend.

I dunno, Moraes seems pretty great but it's been three and a half years since he fought someone with a wikipedia page. Assunção is pretty good, so if Moraes can get past him I will absolutely say Moraes belongs playing with the big boys*.

Yeah it was their "biggest show ever", and of the three cards that weekend, it was the third best.

Lol will the UFC simply close this division

This is the only recourse. Cyborg has shown she's not even remotely reliable, de Randamie wants out, let's just pretend W145 never happened and go on with our lives.

That was the first card I ever saw and it honestly turned me into an MMA fan.

He really is. We've got some potentially incredible fights coming up. I'm not the biggest Aldo fan in the world but I don't for a second let that influence my opinion of him as really really really loving good with an easy entry into the GOAT argument.

gently caress Khabib for loving up his weight cut, I was really looking forward to the Ferguson fight. I think there would have been more impetus on Conor to come back and defend a title if there was absolutely no question who he would be fighting next as well.

Time to dig up your "Khabib will never fight for a UFC title" posts, lads.

Tweet already deleted, so it could have been bullshit. Looked like this.

If there is one UFC fighter that is composed of mostly corned beef, it is Mark Hunt.

Nahh he's 78% by weight KFC.

Right you lot, it's the first of June, we've got a couple of huge months of UFC-branded MMA action coming up with 9 cards in the next 8 weeks. Hit me with some titles and I'll get the new thread up tonight.
