Two beatdowns from Cain aged Junior 10 years in MMA. I doubt he will ever be a top tier heavyweight again. Now that Alistair is Overroids he's finally adjusting properly and being way more patient too but this fight sucked so badly.
Cerrone has the history of being reckless in his time but you would think he learned a few things during his 8 fight win streak. Dos Anjos is just a way better all around fighter then Cerrone. Even with him being a champion he's underrated by a lot of people imo.
Sage fighting Andrew Holbrook in Newark Jan 30th on Fox. Holbrook beat Ramsey Nijem in the summer, 11-0 overall, 1-0 in the UFC.
fun fact: I have more then 1.5X as many twitter followers as mr holbrook, as of posting time.
also, I have less than 300 followers.
I'm just brainstorming what this UFC 200 card will look like. At least two of these fights imo will be on it but I wouldn't be surprised if all 3 are.
Cormier vs Jones
McGregor vs Edgar (unless they put Edgar on the back burner and give the rematch fight to Aldo)
Holm vs Rousey
If GSP can get his shit together maybe he can get on that card too but the chances aren't great at the moment.
It's going to be weird because some fighters are going to have huge layoffs unless they are fighting in the next month or two they likely won't fight until July.
Like a lot of cards you will have fights on them to decide a potential #1 contender for the title fights taking place that evening or that have just recently happened so we should see a bunch of quality fights.
I dont have any need to see GSP fight again any time soon.
I think the Edgar fight will be next for Conor, if Conor wants to make 100m its not going to be from getting beaten stupid by Dos Anjos.

It's pretty clearly clearly an attempt to bless Aoki and somehow redeem his image. But its a huge gamble; between Aoki roid raging on one of the sports most beloved figures and the extremely real possibility of one of Sak's ears falling off... again.... this could basically sink the org out the gate.
Fantastic watch for any MMA fan.

Wait, when did Shinya piss hot?
not sure if he ever has, but it won't matter for this fight, I think we can all agree.Quote:

Condit is even money right now. I really like him this fight. I think Condit is a smarter fighter and will make Lawler look silly.
He's fought twice since late 2013 (and is 1-1 since then) and has to somehow win a belt fight while jogging backwards.
Weirder has happened but these arent the odds to play the hope game imo.
