LHW is not in an ideal spot but with Cormier just beating Rumble, Gus is the best choice no doubt about it yeah its unfortunate he's coming off a loss but lets look at the division there is no other option out there. If Gus fought again at the last card and beat some scrub everyone would have no question hes next in line. So even though Win-Loss it might not make a great deal of sense you are truly getting the nex bestt guy and thats ill i can ask for.

I guess Bader does have an argument with his 4 straight wins(against so-so comp), but Gus is clearly the better fighter and should get a shot.

I guess Jones is gonna be out of commission for a while if he's not even being mentioned

Getting a title shot off a loss is not wavy but it's not like they have a lot of options if Jones isn't going to be back any time soon. Suga hasn't fought in damn near two years, Glover's on a two fight losing streak, no one wants to see Bader or OSP fight for the belt
:ufdup: osp title run in 2016 :youngsabo:

They can't put jones in anything because of his legal issues. Notice how they haven't declared a date they are trying to draw this out they want and need jones back.

This card sat is another brutal one :scust: Matter of fact, all the cards until the big July show sucks

For a FS1 card, it's alright. Rothwell/Mitrione and Dustin/Yancy are good/exciting fights. Boestch/Hendo should be a fun brawl, although both fighters are :flabbynsick: and don't deserve to main event. Black Beast/Jordan should be another entertaining scrap. Even Rivera/Bruce Leeroy is a cool fight.

Well Nick Diaz's career is done :mjlol:




:scust:

Unless I'm mis-reading, this should help out Nick. Weed will only be tested in-competition, so outside of those specified time frames, he can smoke all he wants.

Yea. I say this knowing damn well I will watch and it will probably be a good card(like 90% of the time when a card is garbage on paper). Only thing I am looking forward to is Mitrione(and excellent athlete who I wish the UFC would get behind more. He should have been fighting better tier oppoenents) and the Rivera/Caraces fight. Its just that there is nothing of significance coming out of it. Nobody is fighting for title contention or something remotely possible to it. I just wish this every week card would be cut and some of these fights could be use to bolster the PPV/huge fox shows.
