Cerrone & Matt Brown catch weight fight would be a amazing. Probably wouldn't do much for either of their careers, but hopefully they would both get a fat paycheck out of the deal. Plus, I am pretty sure I am going to that fight.

It would be amazing, but Cerrone needs to be fighting someone that will get him a title shot. Khabib complimented him on Twitter and said they should fight, that makes absolute sense to me. Winner gets Pettis/RDA winner.

edit: Nothing official yet, but there's this.

What the fuck? That's in less than 2 weeks!

This is going to be a crazy free UFC event.

Cowboy doesn't fuck around. First fight they had was pretty close, he got put on his back a ton but threatened with subs constantly. 2nd fight he got caught in a guillotine early. He's improved more than Bendo recently, especially at keeping guys from crowding him.

I'll say Cowboy, but that's at least half just hopeful. He's the much more exciting guy to watch than UFC Bendo has been

Cowboy is a man's man. That guy would fight on every card if allowed.

I know for a while the commissions had strict rules a guy couldn't fight more than like 25 minutes in a night. A few smaller orgs tries one night tourneys with like 1 round, 1 round, then 3 round final. Don't know if any of them actually pulled it off.

Battleground MMA in Oklahoma last year though talked with the commission and got a real one sanctioned. 170lb, 8 man, full rounds. They had to do full medical reviews between fights and pass a physical each time but they managed it(Roan Carneiro won). So I'm not sure they couldn't do it, but I'm pretty sure they wouldn't. Just because they wouldn't be willing to do something in Oklahoma while pissing off the NSAC and other commissions they have to work with constantly.


Honestly I'd kind of like them to follow the Strikeforce model and do a one year HW tourney for a title shot. Werdum and Cain are going to fight, but the rest of the division is far enough behind or has already had their shots. Thus a tournament would establish a challenger nicely. Just using the current official UFC rankings(which are dumb and getting overhauled)




While 145-185 would have better tournaments as far as quality those divisions all have multiple legit guys in line to earn title shots.

I'm just looking forward to an entire year of nothing but Hendricks vs Lawler rematches. And maybe they can tie up the HW title for the next two years by doing 3 rubber matches between Cain and Werdum.

Anywhere that was circumventing them I'm sure. They'd have to just talk it out with the NSAC like Battlegrounds did. Thing is the NSAC is way less likely to set that kind of precedent since they sort of set the tone for the rest of the country. No one nationally gives much of a fuck what the Oklahoma commission does.

Unrelated to JJ doing blow.

TUF 21 - A Fresh Look for The Ultimate Fighter: American Top Team vs. The Blackzilians

The public finds out that he does coke and he enters rehab.. never seen that before.

man I really wanted DC to come out and literally snap JJ in half, but it really seems like DC has shit for cardio he was done by round 2 maybe 3, but there was none of the explosiveness we have seen against every other opponent.
I was really disappointed in how fast he gas'd first thing should have been to get his cardio down so he could last all 5 and still be the force he usually is, and jones is a cunt for doing what he did after the fight, and the late hits after first round.

His cardio was fine, maybe you should have been paying attention to how many times he got hit in the same rib.

Takes a true champion to admit their faults and seek help for it. This confirms how great of a person and champion Jonathan Dwight "Jon" Jones is.
