    UFC isn't a sport, its an organization that's trying to climb out of the red.

    I don't give a f--- about any GSP fight personally, but he was getting an undeserved Title shot regardless of what division it was in. He is legitimately the only active draw left.

    Anyways hopefully they run back Jacare vs Romero now, to crown the true champ.

    He's the most dominant MMA fighter of all time who retired as champ. I'd be fine with him getting a shot if Bisping was a real champion and not just the luckiest person on the face of the planet.

    Bisping an easy target for GSP, he's not going after that fight if Rockhold/Jacare/Romero are champs. Also don't think he wanted to get in there with Woodley.

    UFC slowly turning into boxing in that they're targeting big, lucrative fights regardless of ranking, only difference is they're easier to get done in the UFC than boxing. Titles are starting to become irrelevant.

    I'll look for it. I enjoyed Forrest Griffin's first book and Chael Sonnen's book as well.

    Looks like Albert Tumenov has signed with Russian organization ACB. Zach Makovsky, Takeya Mizugaki and Elvis Mutapcic were all recently signed by them and Nikita Krylov went to EFN, which is the same organization that hosted the Fedor vs Maldonado fight.

    That Russian Mob money swooping in on all the talent that Bellator doesn't want to pay.

    Eddie Alvarez vs Dustin Poirier added to UFC 211. That card is loaded.

    They've got enough time to find a better opponent. Im sure Overeem, Ngannou or Lewis will end up fighting Werdum.

    Sucks they lost another HW to USADA though.

    Pettis/Cejudo and Jotko/Branch also added to 211. Pretty d--- good card. Edgar vs Lamas also might happen on this card, but I wouldn't be surprised if they push it back to July. Wish they put more into the 210 card, its kinda lacking and the top 2 fights have some real injury prone guys in DC and Weidman.

    211 so far

    Stipe Miocic (C) vs Junior Dos Santos (#4 HW)
    Joanna Jedrzejczyk (C) vs Jessica Andrade (#3 WSW)
    Fabricio Werdum (#1 HW) vs TBA
    Demian Maia (#3 WW) vs Jorge Masvidal (#6 WW)
    Eddie Alvarez (#3 LW) vs Dustin Poirier (#10 LW
    Henry Cejudo (#2 FLW) vs Sergio Pettis (#5 FLW)
    Krzysztof Jotko (#11 MW) vs David Branch
    Gadzhimurad Antigulov vs Joachim Christensen
    Gabriel Benitez vs Enrique Barzola
    Jarjis Danho vs Dmitry Poberezhets

    Probably too soon for Yair. Really thought Lamas/Edgar and Yair vs Korean Zombie made more sense.



    If Aldo beats Holloway and Edgar beats Yair I assume Cub will finally get his Aldo rematch.

    James Vick vs Polo Reyes and Chas Skelly vs Jason Knight added to UFC 211...GREAT card

    Anyways Mackenzie Dern is fighting again tonight at LFA 6 on AXS TV. Apparently she couldn't get down to 115 LBS for the second straight fight so her fight will take place at 120 LBS.

    Starting to remind me of Henry Cejudo when he couldn't get down to 125 LBS and was forced up to 135. Difference is the UFC doesn't have a women's 125 LB division. I though she might have gotten the call with a win tonight, but the UFC is probably gonna want to see her make the weight first.

    Dern's last fight

    ^yup mentioned that and Vick/Reyes in my last post.

    I think Werdum is gonna end up getting pulled and put on 212. 211 is the last card Khabib/Ferguson can realistically take place on, since Ramadan is May 26th-June 25th. We're looking at a September return for Khabib probably if he doesn't fight on that card. I'm not holding up hope that happens, but its a s-----y look for Khabib if we don't see him for 6 more months.
