    Sage's sister making her debut in LFA in June at 135 LBS



    Big KO in One FC this morning



    Straus/Pitbull 4 tonight, Bellator needs to go find more FW's. Would love to see Straus in the UFC, don't really know the details of his contract though. Hoping he wins again though.

    LFA on tonight too.

    Kinda surprising the UFC hasn't added a women's 125 LB division yet. Maybe they just don't want it taking away from the depth of 115 & 135 as a lot of girls are either too big for 115 or too small for 135, more so too small for 135.

    Nikitia Krylov vs Emanuel Newton added to June 2nd EFN event in Russia. Vitaly Minakov vs Bigfoot Silva is the headliner.

    Also Ali Bagautinov will fight Tyson Nam this Friday in EFN as well. Tyson Nam had that infamous KO over Bellator BW champ Eduardo Dantas in Brazil in 2012 and then he got head kick KO'd by Marlon Moraes in WSOF and then lost 3 more in a row and disappeared. I guess he is dropping to 125 now, should be an easy win for Ali B who is no doubt back on the sauce.

    Plus Albert Tumenov will fight in ACB on May 20th against Marcelo Alfaya. Alfaya fought Fitch in WSOF and was also was on the TUF: ATT vs Blackzillians season.

    Would say Bisping/GSP would happen here, but Dana said it would happen in Vegas. They need to make that fight already and get on with the MW division.

    Woodley said he has an opponent for his next fight and considering the whole WW division is tied up, I would imagine it's some sort of super fight.
    Conor? Nick Diaz?

    We'll see

    Probably Diaz since (I'm pretty sure) the entire top 5 WW currently has fights booked (Lawler, Maia, Masvidal) or on a losing streak (Wonderman, Condit). Unless the UFC is counting on the winner of Maia/Masvidal to come out relatively unscathed and prepared to fight in 8(ish) weeks.

    Defiantly not Conor though, won't see him again until the mayweather fight happens or falls apart
    Is there any proof Garbrandt has actually done that?

    Yeah he told Dillashaw to pick a charity because he is going to sell it and donate it to the charity he picks or something like that. Its coming out soon

    Awesome. Branch fights Jotko at UFC 211 and Moraes is fighting Assuncao at UFC 212. Assume Gaethje gets a top 15 guy in July.

    Belfort vs Marquardt added to UFC 212. Easiest fight prediction of my life.

    Also Invicta BW Aspen Ladd will fight Jessica Eye at the TUF Finale.

    Wow I guess Nam was dominated the whole fight and finished with a headkick at 4:59 of the 3rd round.



    Thats MMA for you

    Weird to wait for Bellator to sign a bunch of 125 LB fighters before doing this.

    Not that weird when you consider the fact the UFC started a women's FW division depite only having 3 FWs

    Yea but that's because it was the only way to keep Cyborg and then Cyborg got USADA'd.

    Some good finishes in LFA last night. Frincu should be in the UFC.

    Supposedly a bunch of fights are gonna be announced at the Summer Kickoff Press conference. They've been doing these pressers for a while now. "The Time is Now" in 2014, "Go Big" in 2015 and "Unstoppable" in 2016. Unstoppable one was kinda a flop without Conor, they promoted Weidman/Rockhold 2, Khabib/Ferguson and Jones/DC 2...and none of those fights happened
