Think they are looking at Chad Mendes and Miles Jury for that date as well.

Georges St-Pierre opens as early favorite in potential fight with Nate Diaz

St-Pierre, the former UFC middleweight and welterweight champion, opened as a 2-to-1 favorite on online sports book Bovada. A $200 bet on GSP would pay $100 in the event of a GSP victory.
Diaz, comes in as an 8-to-5 underdog, meaning a $100 bet would pay $160 should Diaz win.

USADA to honor UFC fighters who have reached 25 clean drug tests milestone


There are currently 19 UFC fighters who have reached the 25-clean test milestone as of May 1: Holly Holm (35), Cris Cyborg (33), Alvarez (32), Vitor Belfort (32), Daniel Cormier (30), dos Anjos (30), Miocic (28), Robbie Lawler (27), T.J. Dillashaw (27), Conor McGregor (27), Edson Barboza (27), Dominick Cruz (27), Fabricio Werdum (27), Frankie Edgar (27), Torres (26), Stephen Thomson (25), Tyron Woodley (25), Dustin Poirier (25) and Johny Hendricks (25).

"Honor" them? What the fuck is this shit? What is this world we are living in now.

“I’m retired unless such a good offer comes through, I’m retired, I am. I just haven’t made it official. I have no intention of fighting, let’s be honest. I’m retired. I haven’t made it official yet but I’m probably retired. Now of course when I say probably, that still gives me a window to come back but I’m probably retired.”

guess the ufc wouldn't give him the money fight he was wanting
sad, was hoping to see him get ko'd one last time

So fall fights are between Khabib, Lee, Conor (?), and GSP (?). I think GSP would sit out before fighting Lee. I say Eddie wins bigly, but loser (Poirier) can rebound against Tony and keep his hopes alive.

Not disappointed. 155 needs to sort itself out with as many fights as the dudes will accept. Either of these guys could fight again before the end of the year if the right fight is there (does the loser want to fight Barbosa?). It's the least exciting fight to make for me, but the division has a lot of ground to make up with elimination bouts. Bust up the top 5, get guys to lose.
