MMATORCH is reporting 2 fighters are lobbying to fight Cormier Saturday night. One is already on the card the other fought within the last few weeks.. First the fighter already on the card is Mousasi who was the last Strikeforce LHW Champion. He would likely be giving up some weight to Cormier but could be intriguing.. The other one is the current MW champion Bisping who is lobbying simply because then he can claim he did what McGregor couldn't do, which is holding 2 belts at the same time. Seeing how Dana White now has a 3 round Main Event (not that it matters as I think most think it wont even go 3 anyway) he's gotta be pondering his options and quick...

[Crowe Diddly]

3 round main event makes no real differences when ere are still a few 5 rd fights on the card anyway.

Stacking 5 round fights one after another can tiurn out reeeaaaallll bad if the fights aren't great or a bunch of undercard fights go the distance.

if bisping wants to spend the rest of his life quivering in a wheelchair, who am i to stop him

Nate Diaz says everybody is on steroids. Finish your beers, gentlemen.

Anyone like people in the fights tonight? Makdessi at -145 is the only true lean I have so far. Alvarez at +260 is tempting.

What is everyone's thoughts on Diaz vs McGregor?

Conor looks like he's been working hard and is huge, he must be walking around at close to 180 right now and should be a monster when he cuts weight.

I think he was far too cocky the first time, put the weight on too quickly and it looked like his timing was off from the get-go first time round as a result.

My early thoughts are he destroys Diaz this time. No disrespect to Diaz either as his last few fights have been career best.

Diaz will always be bigger, faster, and more effective. If you can name me one discipline where Conor has Diaz pipped, I'd love to hear it.

Short of a cut stoppage in the first, Conor's going to wilt under a constant barrage of pressure and insults.

Conor cant pack on enough mass to handle that without totally destroying his physique; that extra muscle will do nothing but slow him down and devour oxygen.

Holy shit, Jones got popped for TWO different substances and since hes refused to cop to either of them, hes facing a mandatory FOUR YEAR lockout from the sport.

Well now.. How much dumber does that whole 5 yrs look for Pot now if Bones gets 4 yrs for PEDs..

on a side note only got this much for Jones.

[ftpjesus]

Looking likely Mousasi is gonna get the nod against Cormier.. The Swedish Chef is considered an outside shot as he offered to fly in however Cormier already beat him once and Mousasi is already in Vegas..

the 5 years was cut to 18 months and is up like next month or something.

Well now, Globo reporting quite a motherfucking thing right here...

Anderson Silva replaces Jon Jones and faces Daniel Cormier at UFC 200

Middleweight former champion agreed to fight with two days in advance. Duel not
worth the belt and there is still uncertainty in the amount of rounds and what weight will be

He just had surgery and probably was cleared to train a few weeks ago

2yrs 4 yrs it doesn't matter.

This clown has zero self control, and clearly can't handle the requirements of being a professional athlete.

Damn shame, but this isn't that uncommon. Not a lot of people have the makeup to get to the top, or stay there if they do.

The odds on him getting arrested or God only knows what else happening in the next 2-4 years is literally 100% with this fucking idiot. It is over.

[BeerAndPoker]

That press conference was horrible from the first words out of Jones mouth he has no clue wtf to say then his manager is trying to jump in to speak for him. Jones claims he is innocent so lets test the b sample? OK BRUH nobody innocent is going to have this type of meltdown in front of a bunch of cameras. Chael knows what is up with that testing all too well and it would have been funny to see his face while Jones was speaking.

Dana White denies Silva is fighting Cormier.. Then again Dana also got pissed about Brock Lesners involvement getting outted by Helwani so his denial could be bullshit.

I need some $$ tonight. Who has a lock?

I'm going to bet Nelson and lose because I love him.

Fight goes distance pk (-140)
Lopes vs Birchak

[Daly]

I'm happy to pay the $9 a month for fight pass.... Great deal considering a PPV is $80.

That said this asshole got choked out 10 min ago and you pan out and play music for 15 min because you have no content? That's kind of bullshit. Christ show me the last Lesner fight or something.

[Shizzmoney]

I have Makdessi -145...he's a solid Tri-star guy with excellent striking. He's lost his last two (to Medeiros and Cerrone, certainly not slouches) so he's real desperate for a win.

I like the Fight goes distance pk (-140) for Lopes vs Birchak - I mean, a decision is due. Great card so far, all submissions.

[Daly]

I love how every fighter 150 or less is the "best pound for pound" fighter in the world as though Mark Hunt wouldn't knock out any two of these assholes in round 1.
