The UFC would love promoting Khabib Nurmagomedov. Shit just rolls off the tongue.I think Dos Anjos should prob be next in line after Grant. The Screaming Eagle has to be mentioned as a strong contender choice as well if he beats Healy.
It's seriously appalling that "T.J. Grant" got a title shot by beating "Gray Maynard," as if he's somehow special for being able to beat "Maynard." I smacked the shit out of "Gray Maynard" walking out of Starbucks this morning, but nobody gave me a title shot. I didn't even get free coffee.

Yeah no big deal TKOing a guy who is 11-1 and whose only loss at that point came against a champion during a title shot. Who would you have suggested got a title shot before TJ Grant? And I'm not trying to be dickish here. I'm curious to hear your response.
Unlike the legit title fights between two guys within the same division that are coming up? Ya know, the really boring fights like Jones vs Gus, GSP vs Hendricks, Cain vs JDS, and Silva vs Weidman.

I completely forgot about this cat. Getting KO'd by Jamie Varner is a great way to lower your profile. Too bad, he's got more sports entertainment in any one of his fights than Gil managed to show versus Benson. He should be given more contenders.Well, Punk, easily. Beyond that, Edson Barboza or maybe even Gilbert.
I think the real play here is to have Aldo and Showtime Pettis coach TUF17 to set up their fight in December 2014.

from my own personal casual core sports entertainment fan perspective, the only interesting fights are either a superfight with 145# champ Joe Aldo or in a battle of handsome Punk Thompson.
Dare I say I'm looking forward to the TUF premiere this Wednesday?
Both Okami and Bader will win by cage hugging with the occasional takedown. I'm more confident in Okami than Bader, though.I kinda think Bader will spoil Glover's party with some calculated cage hugging and timely takedowns.
Definitely putting money down on Okami @ +220 to embarrass Jacare as well.
The only way that this could have been redeemed is if the ref started stomping on him and it turned out that the ref was actually Superstar Billy Graham.

I wouldn't be surprised at all to see this happen. Then we can watch two guys who don't understand each other and are only capable of talking through interpreters pretend to have beef.I think the real play here is to have Aldo and Showtime Pettis coach TUF17 to set up their fight in December 2014.
I am too. Calling it now that this is the best season since Junie Browning. (low bar I know)Dare I say I'm looking forward to the TUF premiere this Wednesday?

Rafael Natal vs. Tor Troeng
Ali Bagautinov vs. Marcos Vinicius

If you want that "superfight", you should accept the fact that the belts are completely pointless.

But aren't they when there's no real rhyme or reason behind who gets title shots besides popularity and ability to draw.If you want that "superfight", you should accept the fact that the belts are completely pointless.

Did you miss Nick Diaz, Chael Sonnen, Frankie Edgar, and Miesha Tate being given title shots (this year) after losses?
Whos gonna win?
Both have power and both arent the fastes HW's out there. Oh man...I love such matchups!
I wanted Hunt vs Big Country or Hunt vs Fraudereem. Hunt would knock Canistair out of the Ultimate and into Bellator.Mark Hunt vs. Bigfoot in Australia, 21 December.
