    Lorenz Larkin vs Paul Daley added to Bellator 183 in San Jose on September 23rd. Bendo vs Patrick Pitbull is headlining that card and Roy Nelson makes his debut against Javy Ayala.

    Contender Series tonight on Fight Pass at 8 ET. Spann is a guy I'm kinda surprised is headlining, hes lost 2 of his last 3 despite both losses being to UFC guys. He lost to Trevin Giles (who won at UFC 213) by Split decision at LFA 3 for the MW Title. In his fight before that he lost to UFC vet/BJJ wizard Robert Drysdale in Legacy FC. Roberson is undefeated in MMA, hes also fought in Glory. Spann is probably too much for him at this point.

    Jason Jackson would be my guess for who ends up with a contract tonight, he fought in the ATT vs Blackzillians TUF, has fought multiple times on Titan (his last 3 fights are on Fight Pass feature promotions Titan and Victory FC). His last fight he knocked out Dhiego Lima, who lost to Jesse Taylor in the TUF Finale on July 7th. Stewart is undefeated with 7 of 8 wins coming by finish, hes a marine who just fought and won on LFA 11 which was the same card O'Malley and Kenney (from last week's DWTNC) had last fought on.

    Chase Waldon is and RFA/Legacy/LFA vet his last loss was to UFC vet Gerald Meerschaert (2-1 in UFC). Was supposed to fight Gabriel Checco, but he got hurt and was replace by Geoffrey Neal who just competed at WW 11 days ago in LFA and won by TKO. Not much of a chance either gets in the UFC imo.

    Daniel Jolly is a 2 time UFC vet who got destroyed by Misca Cirkunov and Khaili Rountree in the 1st round. Menifield is a former College Football player at Texas A&M and seems like a powerhouse. He fought on the same card as Dominick Reyes (now 1-0 in the UFC) and won his fight easily, dude seems like a powerhouse and is the biggest favorite on the card by far. He could get a contract if he runs through Jolly and nobody else impresses.

    Ige is a Hawaiian who has fought in a bunch of different orgs in Pancrase/RFA/Legacy and most recently Titan FC. Don't know much about Gomez other then he is 22, Cuban and a Judo guy with a solid arm bar. Not a lot of experience or against even decent competition. Very unlikely either of these guys gets in.

    Two contracts given out tonight. Both solid choices, bizarre night of fights overall.

    Neil Magny (#6 WW) vs Rafael Dos Anjos (#10 WW) added to UFC 215 and Claudia Gadelha (#1 WSW) vs Jessica Andrade (#4 WSW) added to Shogun vs OSP 2 Japan card on September 23rd.

    That 215 card is actually pretty good, won't do anything on PPV but its a good card. DJ/Borg, Nunes/Shev 2, JDS/Ngannou, Melendez/Stephens, Cejudo/Reis, Magny/RDA, Latifi/Pedro etc.

    PFL (formerly WSOF) trying to go out of business going up against 214. Their last event was an outdoor one, where there was supposed to be a Nascar (or w/e it was) race before the event, but it rained and they started the show early (had a roof over the Octagon). So when the viewers tuned in, the Main Event (Fitch vs Foster) was literally ending. They are supposedly having a bunch of tournaments in 2018 where the winners get $1 Million, but I can't see NBC Sports re-upping with them.

    RDA fights perfectly to make reach negligible. He's always pouring pressure own from as close a distance as he can muster. I wouldn't count him out.

    Tonight at 8 ET. Couple TUF vets in Hawes (S 23, lost to eventual winner Andrew Sanchez to get into house) and Candido (FLW season for the title shot, subbed Jamie Alvarez and then lost to Eric Shelton in the QF, Shelton just fought on the FP Prelims of UFC 214). Marquez I know from knocking Matt Hamill out in Combate and also his KO win in LFA in May. Not real familiar with the rest.

    Crazy finish in the Main Event, Marquez already had Hawes badly hurt before the headkick. Either way very entertaining fights tonight. Marquez and Brandon Davis who trains with Jason Knight and Chase Sherman in Mississippi also got a contract after his back and forth fight with Austin Arnett.

    216 just had a bunch of fights added. Supposedly Poirier will also be on the card, hopefully against Pettis, Iaquinta, Barboza or Lee. Not sure whats headlining, not sure Cody is ready so probably Joanna vs Rose and maybe a Stipe defense (so basically UFC 211 with different opponents for the champs).

    Bibulatov is legit, think he could challenge DJ one day. His Kadryov connection is gonna gather more steam every time he fights though, wouldn't be surprised if its eventually a reason the UFC doesn't bring him back after his contract is up. Guess it depends on how he does, I think he beats Moraga decisively and that puts him firmly into the UFC's top 10.

    Pic of him and psycho

    Brandon Gibson posted a pic on his Instagram working with this 19 year a while back. She's a jitz convert. WMMA is going to progress so quickly for the next few years.

    Sounds like it's Tony Ferguson vs Kevin Lee for Interim LW belt at UFC 216. Khabib not cleared to fight supposedly.
