well shit. was really wanting to see cyborg with a challenge




also Reem looks puzzled

Not that I ever expected anything different

Rousey: Return to MMA as unlikely as a return to Olympic Judo

Just goes to show what sort of person she is. She was all tough and mean-mugging when she was beating up cans, but literally got beat into retirement

And good riddance.

Irony that she was one of the WME/IMG crossovers that initially got them interested in a buyout for future collaborations. She was the prototype for the possibilities WME/IMG saw in acquiring the UFC.

She was solid in Entourage, but the fights were just her getting her head bashed in-- just as her star was peaking. Oh well. I'll remain skeptical that she's actually going to be taking bumps in the WWE.

those 2 losses had to cost her 10's of millions

saw some news about the tv rights,
Fox, Amazon, and Facebook's 1st choice is WWE and UFC will probably go to loser in that race.
CBS online, ESPN+, Twitter and Youtube are all supposedly in the hunt too.

if they can get the $300-400m per year they are seeking, would put them over NHL and right with Nascar.

FTFY.

Well a 4th cancellation due to injury for those two wouldn't shock anyone.

Would love to see Arlovski go on one last tear...this doesn't look good though. Tuivasa is a young and promising dude with nasty striking.

Andrei Arlovski vs. Tai Tuivasa slated for UFC 225

also Cain was removed from the ranking
after being in the top 4 for a year and 8 months after his last fight

no idea what is going on with him, talk of going to wwe fight brock

Cain was a beast. But he hasn't done anything in a solid 5 years. He's existed and gotten by on just peoples memories.

Any current relevancy was attributable to the shallow modern HW division.

someone pointed out recently, he only has 1 fight, lost to Werdum, with anyone in the current top 15

Duquesnoy vs. Ware has been excellent so far
