145 would make a lot more sense. Better for both fighters, Faber is a huge 135'er.

Interesting. I though Faber didn't want to move up when asked about fighting Frankie before. It really doesn't matter regardless. Hes losing. He hasn't looked good in a while even while winning.

Jon's younger brother, Chandler wants to fight him in a charity match:

"Me and my brother used to fight all the time when we were young ... and I'm pretty sure I can take him down now. I am way bigger than he is. It will be fun if we actually did a one-round match for charity ... that would be fun. If I win, he would have to donate to the charity of my choice and vice versa. I would just throw him to the ground. I don't know how my coach would feel about it. I don't think it would fly."

@arielhelwani reports Rashad Evans required a 2nd ACL injury, hopes he can return in 6-8 months. His knee rejected the graft.


That sounds awful


Might be your body telling you to switch to commentary unfortunately Rashad. Poor cat just can't get healthy



Also Cormier gets to rag doll Ryan Bader at Fight Night 68

Guess that means Gus will be fighting Glover or Davis.

Sucks for Rashad, always been a fan.

4) Rousey Zingano
5) Dillashaw/Barao

Rousey/Zingano ahead of Dillashaw/Barao? Rousey is going to steamroll Zingano, while Barao has a decent chance of retaining his title.
