Seems like Holly Holm is going to be fighting Miesha Tate. I want to see that.

Holly smash!

Dang it! 2 weeks before the fight and now Dos Anjos has a broken foot! What a bummer!

...True.

Wow! That rematch between Diaz and McGregor was great! One of the best matches in the UFC.

Yeah, pretty impressive performance from both, although I was especially impressed with Conor. He was able to pace himself this time, and pull out the win. The first two rounds were particularly good for him. Nate was getting lit up early.

Also, Rumble's fight makes me sad we haven't gotten to see him vs Jones yet.

Honestly I had Nate winning the second fight.

Apparently Jones is supposed to be back sooner that was initially thought. He's using the dickpill excuse like Anderson did.

I can't fault someone for giving Nate the nod. I sided with McGregor but it was close. I just place a lot of importance on the knockdowns in a close fight like that.

As for Jones, I'm curious if it was a case of tainted supplements like with Tim Means. Well, USADA said it was tainted supps anyway. Guess it's impossible to know 100%.

He might get caught because Miocic hits very hard and his chin is real suspect, but I honestly feel like Overeem is going to absolutely pick him apart and stop him like he did JDS.

I could see that happening. I think a focused, not showboating Overeem would blast anyone on the feet at HW.

I just wonder if the takedown mixup Miocic has won't present problems. Overeem's takedown defense is solid, but having to even consider the takedown changes things up.

The TRUE Main Event....

CM PUNK IS ANNIHILATED BY KO RD 1!!!!!!!!!!!!

Your MMA guru has spoken!

I guess CM Punk should have fought the Green Ranger first after all.

Wonderboy vs Tyrone Woodley was confirmed. LOL @ Woodley for thinking he draws enough for a money fight with GSP or an easy matchup with Nick Diaz.

Conor McGregor vs. Eddie Alvarez confirmed for November 12.

Finally, Conor gets to do what he wanted to do in the first place.

Please, no pre-fight injuries!

Wait McGregor/Alvarez was confirmed? Nurmagomedov is going to be piiiiiiiiiiissed.

Edit: Just checked, and you're right. Conor transcends time and space.

What about Aldo? And don't anybody believes that lesner would a much BIGGER threat if he learns to rely on his stand up?

As good as he is, Aldo was never a draw. I'm honestly not sure that rematch will ever happen. Conor has turned into such a unique animal, he could vacate the title and still make tons of money. I really don't think he cares about the belt.

Lesnar was just getting paid too imo. I doubt he cares about improving his stand up enough to become a legit contender again.

Not that I blame him of course. He's cashing in millions without even being in title contention.

Didn't it look like lesner was winning the fight in the Cain fight, until he got scared of being knocked out. Think couture? It's that easy! His drive is to be the best REAL fighter in the world, he doesn't care about money or WWE. That's why he came back to the ufc.

Out of curiosity, who would people have as the best strikers in the UFC at the moment?

My list, in no particular order:

Rumble Johnson
Wonderboy Thompson
Edson Barboza
Jose Aldo
Anthony Pettis
Conor McGregor
Max Holloway
Dominick Cruz
TJ Dillashaw
Demetrious Johnson

Doesn't really feel all that long ago that Anderson Silva was still on top and seemed pretty much invincible. 🙁
