Bjornsson vs Butterbean is a PPV fight.

Nice. Card looks pretty damn good.
And Rosholt indeed got cut. He must have been one the worst anti-fighters around. Good riddance.

He came across as fighting to not lose as opposed to fighting to win.
On Chael's podcast, Nate Diaz responds to ruining GSP vs. McGregor: "L-O-L, motherfuckers."
The whole interview is worth worth a listen. Seems Nate is incredibly aware of exactly how UFC tried to play him, and fighters are now "trying to steal his power" lol.

hey now, aldo vs frankie should be a good fight. That fights a coin toss IMO.

I wouldn't be surprised if UFC just scraps the HW division within the next 5-10 years.

who cares. we've already seen it. we could get new and competitive fights instead of this rehash bullshit. this is the dumbest shit ever. the 145 champion has a rematch at 170 on the same night two guys fight for an interim 145 belt. wtf.

No way. I could definitely see them scrapping FW though. Kinda surprised it hasn't happened yet actually.

Boring as fuck, Nate should have been given Lawler(dos Anjos already beat Nate's ass and is a terrible matchup).
Dana gonna Dana though.
That's what Dana is trying to do.

UFC going full on bonkers, it's all downhill from here.
Honestly, it's a bit better than the extremely generic posters they usually do.

will gently cradle you as time slowly ticks away.
You'd think that more champions not already booked until 200 would want to fight on that card. I guess Dos Anjos is still injured. And if they were all about rematches, then surely Lawler/Condit 2 should be a go.
Lesnar/Mir 2 had no complaints whatsoever. 1) It was a title unification match. 2) Mazzagatti fuckery in the first fight.

Great interview. "Cardio's a martial art, too. You have to be a black belt in cardio and know how to use it."

True. I mean, we're going to shit on their promos no matter what they do.
Poster is more interesting than
I doubt the card will be better though, even with no GSP and Fitch.
He's a bigger draw than Lesnar now too.
I still want Conor to fight GSP just so I can see the GOAT stomp Conor.

Fuck Jones, should've put him in jail for a while, maybe that'll make him clean up his act.
Disgrace for the sport at the highest level etc etc.
McGregor really going for the Diaz rematch tells me that he's really concerned with his own legacy first and foremost. Love that he can go all in on this selfishness even against the wishes of everyone around him. :lol

At this rate the McGregor/Diaz rubber match will headline the NYE card. 2016 = the year where Stockton and Dublin become twin/sister cities.
Also, a good future trivia question for you: Jim Miller seems to the be only one to be fighting in both UFC 100 and 200.

It's can see his success biting them in the ass in the long term though. So many fighters now saying they want the big money fights and willing to test free agency if they don't get it. Rory and Gegard both on the MMA hour last week saying the same thing. I think a lot of fighters are gonna get pissed seeing Mac and his millions while GOAT performances like Lawler v Rory makes pocket change and suddenly you've got a roster of athletes demanding much better pay. Wether they're needle movers or not I don't see anyone fighting in main events for 50k/50k anymore

I thought Frankie already fought Aldo twice and lost both?
Hilarious if they threw BJ Penn in against RDA.

Once.
Only one decently close decision loss against Aldo. He lost twice against Henderson for the 155 title.

Finally getting around to listening to the rest of the MMA Hour from Monday. Did CM Punk compare the NY MMA ban to segregation?

Jon Jones getting off pretty easy again. Real lucky that this fight is still on. Stop fucking up dude.
This Fight Night card is looking solid.
