So another TUF season where the coach gets injured?
Don't kid yourself, drm. Aldo is never going to vacate the Featherweight strap and Dana, for whatever reason, won't allow him to challenge Pettis unless he does so. The fight was always just another carrot for the UFC to dangle in front of their fans ala GSP/Silver and Silver/Jones.

best part will be when gil cheats on megan olivi by hooking up with bec hyatt
and yeah, strawweight is definitely sexyweight.

Sexyweight yes. Terrible fight weight? Yes.
Most of TeamNegative already complains that the lighter weight classes have no power to finish, what does that mean for a couple of 115lbs ladies? Just doesn't sound all that appealing to me from a fight standpoint. *shrug* but oh well, prove me wrong ladies.

The amount of events the UFC puts on necessitates vacating the belt. We get enough filler events as it is.. it'd be that much worse to have less title defenses. In this particular case it would probably break even with Pettis getting injured constantly but that is out of Dana's control. Aldo vacating isn't. And the division would end up being more competitive and likely more entertaining if Aldo vacated.
Congrats to Gil tha Business Gawd 
I'm surprised the UFC set the precedent of allowing fighters to play both sides instead of just letting him walk. Really exciting fight, too. One of the few match-ups on the horizon that I'm genuinely excited to see...maybe happen?
1 for 4 ain't bad, breh.

You can't compare across the genders like that. Women are generally lacking in KO power compared to men anyway, but the skillsets and talent pool of WMMA make scrapping the default instead of a specialised niche.

OH!? Suddenly they were able to match GIls Bellatah contract? Oh Dana boy...
Paige VanZant and Thug Rose don't do it for you?
I ain't worried. #teampositive

FUCK. Pettis won't be fighting until the end of the year now
What else is new?
Until he pulls out with an injury in October lol.
Paige VanZant and Thug Rose don't do it for you?
I ain't worried. #teampositive
I love that ko. Looks like a natural combo from tekken. f+3,1,1 all day.
Sexyweight works when the other fighters are also 115lbs.Paige VanZant and Thug Rose don't do it for you?
I ain't worried. #teampositive
Plus, unless I'm mistaken, there really isn't a 115lbs woman who is as dominant as Rousey. That's a big plus, you get scraps instead of squash matches.

I wonder who's likely to be ready to fight first: Anthony Pettis or Anderson Silva.
I ain't worried. #teampositive
Fair enough, I'm just expecting KOs like that to be rare at 115 for the ladies. But who knows!

Clean, out cold, KO's will be few.. but they're fairly rare for the men as well. TKO's will likely be on par with every other division though.

I'm glad Gilbert's still with the UFC. He's arguably the best lightweight in the world, so he should be fighting the other top few guys.
Gil da Fraud.
Oddly enough, I'm more inclined to pay for this fight than the one Dana White sold people on this weekend. I'd much rather watch six of these cards for $10/each than one $60 card like UFC 170.
UFC 168 may have been the last card I pay for at home. Right now I like UFC 171: Hendricks vs. Lawler and UFC 173: Weidman vs. Belfort as PPV cards, but I'll go out to see both of those. For now I'm done with throwing money at this organization.

Deserves every bit of it for abusing his body like a maniac.
Gil doesn't deserve all that money. Barely got through Sanchez.
All your money goes to Gil now anyways even if he's not on the ppv. His lawyers drafted the best contract ever conceived and the UFC buckled like Brock getting a liver kick.
why not have 2 shitty, under-developed, talent lean divisions, when you only have 1?
makes perfect sense!
Breh Ultimate was built on shitty under developed talent lean divisions.
I know thats why its awesome.
