Dariush decision over Michael Johnson is one of the worst in recent memory. Brunson needs a top ten opponent immediately and Alvey needs to learn how to handle pressure fighters without just relying on punching power. Rosholt is boring and his wrestling probably won't hang with the top guys in the division. OSP continues to show flashes but he needs some damned cardio work and grappling lessons...STILL...why is this still a problem? Glover's chin, punching power and surprising level of ground game are a nice combo in a fairly weak division but I don't see him getting over the hump and beating any of Gus, Johnson, Cormier let alone Jon Jones if he comes back. Willie Gates is a tough cat, Ortiz is just that dude, really impressive performance.

I was just looking at some numbers and the UFC is definitely having a bounce back year as far as PPVs go.

I don't see why they would put McG v Aldo and Honda v Tate on the same card when they can double dip..

They want a stadium show, so they'll need both to fill it in (and even that might not work since Irish fans have a lot more issues getting to Dallas than Vegas). I think they want to top UFC 100, went for it with the 189 card plus got impressive numbers with 190. That card will be their home run swing.

This isn't news. She was always willing to fight Ronda (at whatever weight). She already said she's trying to cut down.

News would be her making the weight, though

Well one week it's I'm cutting to 140 then to 135, the next week she begs for a 140 catch weight. Now she can make 135 in 3 months.

If they were that confident then way all the different options. Shyt is getting old.

You're following it too closely.

If it happens great, if not Ronda and the UFC are p*ssy. :manny:
