    Ehh I dunno, there are probably 15 UFC events before UFC 213 (which is the earliest he could return) and even then DC/Rumble 2 could be a war and its probably a stretch to expect the winner to return less then 3 months later. Could end up returning at UFC 214 in August and at that point we're almost at the start of the new NFL season and the end of Summer.

    lot of those guys have been gone for a year. Also I'm not positive guys like Larkin and Perez will be gone, UFC can still probably match any offers they get.

    Cirkunov apparently is in the wind though, Dana says contract negotiations went sour with him. So unless he comes crawling back, I could see him ending up in Bellator.

    Thanh Le from the McGregor/Faber TUF season had a nice KO on LFA last night.





    Great stand up, but grappling needs work. Saw Ryan Hall in his corner so thats a good thing. Plus he dropped down to 145.

    UFC just announced a bunch of fights.

    -Charles Oliveira moving to LW and will fight Will Brooks at UFC 210 on April 8th
    -Rose Namajunas vs Michelle Waterson, Tim Elliott vs Louis Smolka, Devin Clark vs Jake Collier and Anthony Smith vs Andrew Sanchez added to the April 15th FOX show in Kansas City

    Also on April 22nd the UFC is going to Nashville and Cub Swanson vs Artem Lobov is the Main Event (lol). Al Iaquinta vs Diego Sanchez, Thiago Alves vs Sam Alvey, Dustin Ortiz vs Brandon Moreno, Jessica Penne vs Danielle Taylor, Hector Sandoval vs Matt Schnell and Scott Holtzman vs Michael McBride are also on the card.

    I like that they are announcing fights like this, but wtf at that Cub vs Artem fight.

    Artem Lobov is headlining a UFC card. Welp, I guess MMA will be a real sport someday.

    Holm usually seems pretty classy, surprised she's pulling this. I was watching this fight at a bar on my phone and also missed the last round so I can't really say how legit the complaints are.

    She got pretty clearly rocked. After the second time they should have take a point and we would have been looking at a draw.

    [​IMG]

    Aldo did the same thing to Mendes a couple years back, this one was more controversial because she did it twice.




    Anyways the Fertitta's and Dana really did sell at the perfect time. New ownership is trying to cut costs with the stupid big loan they took out and every single fighter is going to Free Agency now.

    Dont think silva has the marketing pull anymore, would still love to see it happen but highly unlikely.

    Idk how I feel about GPS returning he's one of my all time favorite fighters but I question if he can hang with the current welterweights. Three years is a long hiatus and he's looking for big fights so I doubt he's gonna want a tune up fight. I can see him beating Bisping and that looks like its gonna happen, but idk how he would do against some of the more evolved fighters.

    Yea I dunno. Silva/GSP would still sell more then GSP/Bisping, plus MW is already backed up as it is. Romero deserves that shot.

    As for GSP vs the WW's, I'd fear for his life against a guy like Woodley. Probably Wonderboy as well, not sure how Lawler responds after that last loss but he is who GSP should fight if its not Silva.

    Anyways LFA last night was decent.

    Dude walked right into this one gassed in the 3rd. Was supposed to be Barcelos vs Aguilar, but Raoni got hurt. Hes a beast though, should be in the UFC after one more win. Aguilar might get a shot too as Jackson is a UFC vet.



    As much as Dana is saying they're not gonna bring in a female 125 LB division, I think they will by the end of the year. Lot more fighters out there to fill that division then 145.




    Anyways Bellator tonight at 9 ET. Fully expect a lot of their cards to look similar to this, but instead of washed up former UFC guys its former UFC guys who are still in their prime.
