    Angela Hill is off the card, something to do with USADA testing (I don't believe it was a failed test however)

    Definitely pretty hyped for this one, either gonna order it or go to a bar. Didn't know it was a top 10 all time card but that's good to hear.

    I'm excited for Ronda's return and hope she wins, but the card's also got some names from the fight night show I saw in Portland so I'm eager to see their follow ups.

    Hope Lineker especially wins, fun fighter to watch.

    Lol Dana seems to let em get away with that kinda s--- if they're as big as Ronda or Conor, so they take advantage of it I guess. Not even Conor went that far though, not doing any media is weird. I think she might be trying to avoid the questions she knows she'll get about the Holm fight and 'bouncing back' from that or whatever..

    He definitely lets them get away with a lot more then your average UFC fighter. Still pulled Conor from UFC 200 and Nick Diaz from UFC 137 fight against GSP. Would never do that to Ronda and especially not now that WME is running the ship.

    Updated the OP will the Full line up now that Cain/Werdum 2 and Andrade vs ___ have been scrapped.



    And for the record f--- Cain. Zero benefit in him announcing that he would need back surgery after the fight when they did the press conference for the MMAAA. Basically him trying to save face from pulling out of another fight when the NSAC inevitably wouldn't let him fight. Should have to win 3 fights without getting hurt again to get a title shot imo.

    Now we're probably gonna get Miocic/Werdum 2, a fight that nobody wants to see.

    Yeah for Ronda's 1st fight in over a year or however long it's been, it's not getting talked about as much as I expected, maybe that will still change these last few days.

    Ronda not doing any media probably doesn't help either lol, also maybe it's just me but Nunes is kinda boring, hard to get too excited about her. Its not like I have a strong hatred for her or even dislike her or anything, just have no feelings towards her at all really.

    Is Ronda skipping the press conference too I assume?

    Ronda's doing zero media, that's why its not getting talked about. Nunes' exciting fighting style should be more then enough to carry the fight but for whatever reason they're not even promoting her. As if it isn't very possible that she whoops Ronda and remains champ.

    Ronda, Cyborg and Miesha are the 3 most popular women in the sport and after Friday we may not see any of them in the Octagon for a year (Cyborg) or ever (Ronda and Miesha). They would still have Holly (who has lost twice in a row) but they may want to start promoting Joanna, Pena, Michelle Waterson and the next "generation" of female fighters.

    Anyways Ronda finally makes an appearance.

    @redsoxx you think there's a good chance Ronda retires win or lose?

    With a loss its pretty much a certainty, but I think there is a decent chance she goes out on top with a win as well. I really don't see her winning and fighting the next contender (Shevchenko/Pena winner, January 28th on FOX), but could see her wanting the Holly rematch if Holly beats Germaine de Randamie at UFC 208 and becomes the 145 LB champ.
