God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. Who will wipe this blood off us? What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we need to invent?

Known throughout the industry as “The Gracie Hunter,” Sakuraba gained prominence after defeating four members of the world-renowned Gracie family (Royler, Renzo, Ryan, Royce), which included his epic 90-minute victory over Royce in 2000, that is widely considered to be one of the greatest fights of all-time.

Yes officer, my name is Victoria Sonnen...berg
I'd imagine Edgar probably gets the shot first since Max already kicked Cub's rear end not too long ago. But I'd be happy with either.

Far enough, I think Swanson has put enough of a decent streak on to warrant it though. He's improved a fair bit in the last two years.

i mean it definitely is one of the most important fights in the history of mma so i don't know what to tell you. it's a very boring fight though. even if it's cool to see sakuraba's strategy slowly unfold, and also cool to watch him use royce's gi against him.

Max Holloway is really goddamn cool, Holloway/Edgar should be really goddamn cool, and I didn't realize how much I was looking forward to seeing Aldo fight someone outside the top 3 for the first time in thirty years. If he stays at 145, Aldo/Cub or Aldo/Yair would be hilarious; if he decides to go up to 155 the only morally acceptable thing to do is book Aldo/Diaz as soon as possible.

If you get a chance watch the prelim fight between Alacantra and Brian Kelleher. Kelleher taps Alacantra in the 1st round via guillotine and proceeds to troll the poo poo out of the Rio crowd.

Aldo got the WEC belt at 23 and was 24 when it became the UFC belt. It's cool that he's young but I don't think it should be very surprising as the sport matures.
