    Looks like the end for both Koscheck and Thomson. So much for "legends" careers ending less brutally in Bellator.

    Minakov moved to 19-0 today after beating a s--- tier HW in DJ Linderman. Looked like he was saved by the bell. Gonna just assume he looked past Linderman, still think he does well in the UFC. His Bellator contract is apparently super complicated.

    Also 17-2 BW prospect Leandro Higo signed with Bellator. UFC dropped the ball on that one. But they seem far more concerned with cutting guys then bringing in new fighters.

    Claudia Gadelha vs Karolina Kowalkiewicz set for UFC 212 on June 3rd in Brazil.

    Also looks like Lobov/Swanson is being bumped out of the Nashville Main Event slot. Demian Maia vs Jorge Masvidal looks like it will be the Main Event.

    Maia, although I think the UFC really doesn't want him as champ. I guess the fight is happening at UFC 211 as Swanson already signed his contract for the Main Event and it seemed like he only took that fight because it was the Main Event. I think GSP has to be getting the next Title shot at WW now, hopefully UFC 213 in Vegas July 8th.

    John Dodson vs Eddie Wineland has been added to the Nashville card. Don't even care about the Main Event anymore, card is stacked.

    So what do you guys want to see happen in the future for the HW division?

    Does the winner of Hunt/Reem get the next title shot? Or do you have the winner of that bout take on Black Beast and the winner of that gets the title shot?

    Also for Ngannou, who do you want him to take on next? Roy Nelson seems like an obvious choice at this point, but I would personally love to see him fight Struve.

    So good to finally have some prospects at HW.

    Also I'm pulling for Stipe against JDS.

    I'd assume the winner of Rothwell/Werdum gets the next title shot.

    I can see the winner of Hunt/Reem getting Cain while the loser gets the black beast or Francis

    I only want this to happen if Wonderboy wins, I think Woodley would just be to big and powerful of an opponent for GSP to fight for thefirst time in 3 years

    Just picked up Mark Hunts book "Born to Fight" and goddam it's insane. I highly suggest it to everyone in this section.

    Easy read. big font, just over 300 pages.
