Not gonna be poppin till that Connor aldo fight.

This yr has had some real solid ppv cards, some great fights. But what has been lacking are the championship fights where really either fighter can win and both got huge followings. Those type of fights spark comments and debates.

Ronda has done so much for women's mma n ufc in marketing n promoting, but the 1 thing she hasn't done yet it deliver a truly memorable fight. Right now she's basically fighting herself as all every1 is watchin is to see how fast she finishes the next one.

A few on deck should spark debate. Conor v Aldo, TJ v Cruz, Werdum v Cain, even potentially Lawler v Condit (because I doubt Lawler takes the easy way out and wrestles his way to a win, that fight could be a classic)... and Rockhold vs Weidman is seriously a tough one to call, I'm leaning toward Rockhold but I've gone back and forth for a minute now. I also think Ronda vs Holm is gonna be a tougher fight than most think which could spark conversations.

Yeah, we gotta hope some of these fights come down the pipe line witout any injuries or weight cuts ruining it for us. But TJ vs Cruz 2, 3 yrs ago I wldve cared about that. Right now, Cruz ain't the same guy. Doesn't have half his speed n agility he use 2 have b4 all the knee surgeries.

Werdum Cain 2 luv Cain he's a great guy, but he has no chance to beat Werdum. All Cain likes 2 do is out wrestle or out cardio guys now n that won't work wit Werdum.

Hopefully this Lawler Condit fight cn be something big, but let's be honest Condit has no right fighting for a belt. He has 1 win in last 2 yrs. In last 4 yrs he b early has 2 wins. That's not the signs of a great num1 challenger.
