Rafael Alves (154.5) vs. Damir Ismagulov (155.5)

* Ronderos missed weight by 2.5 pounds and has been fined a percentage of his purse.

The weigh-ins for Saturday's event had a bit of drama in the early going, as Raulian Paiva was hospitalized after his weight cut went south. The promotion was able to find a replacement against David Dvorak, pulling in unbeaten newcomer Juancamilo Ronderos suddenly -- as first reported by MMA Junkie. Ronderos (128.5) did come in over the 126-pound cap, and he has been fined a percentage of his purse, but the fight is still on.

UFC has definitely moved on. No offer of pay above a LHW title defense.

This was as of Thursday during a UFC meeting. That's a wrap.

As soon as Francis has no challengers Jones will reappear.

But will Jones fight for his LHW fee? the 8-10 million was taken off the table

DW has signaled that the offer isn't coming back either. Its now LHW fee only. No extra money.

Dana will make it happen when he wants to make it happen. He keeps giving Jon the chance despite what he has said the last year. And this time I don't think the judges will be so favorable like in the Reyes fight.

That's my thing, Jones doesn't immediately make me say hell ya anymore. After his last few fights I don't want him in a headliner spot anymore, just doesn't get my excitement level up at all

Dana is always thinking about setting a precedent, too. Fighter pay is a big topic and digging his heels in against JJ is a big message to send others.

Oh Lawd

I get that there's bad blood, but that's some shit to say


“As I get to more information as I’m with the lawyer, and the lawyer talks to Diego and asks Diego about his education, and he starts talking about he was in special education,” Fabia said. “Holy shit. Huge red flags, man.

“This is not, at all, what anyone who perceived, and Diego is not anywhere near what anybody knows, man. And Diego has been an addict. He hasn’t told anybody for the past five months, I was his sponsor living with him. That I had to live there because he was broke and lost all his money, and strung out on Kratom and alcohol and 30 other substances. That he has sexual abuse issues. No, he didn’t say any of that, man. And I’ve been holding up all this. I’ve been doing everything and everybody’s coming at me.”

Genuinely praying for Diego. He is on the path of major self destruction.

Has to be the 1st real CTE case for MMA/UFC?
