Came in here just to say:
1. Felder vs Barboza was a damned good fight. I'd like to see Cruikshank v Felder next and maybe Barboza v Johnson

2. Tate has power punching now? Still not much hope against Ronda but at least she knows how to survive unlike the rest of the decision. I still got Holly Holm as my sleeper to score the upset once she gets more comfort, her footwork and elusiveness give her the best chance of not getting grabbed and worked by Ronda. Plus she's got the best hands in the division.

3. TJ needs a revenge bout with Assuncao (when the hell is he getting healthy) before Cruz gets the shot, seems like a joke to me that Cruz would get a shot off 1 win in four years. At least take a warm-up fight to test the mobility after yet another knee injury and get some highlights together to sell the match-up.

Not sure what's next for Barao; he's looked pretty bad his last 3 fights. He's not getting a title shot at BW for a very long time. He might just need to move up to FW and see where the chips fall.

With the IV ban, I can't see Barao staying at BW or Aldo staying at FW (I assumed Aldo's planned announcement for after the McGregor fight was gonna be a move up to LW). Barao's been seriously struggling with the weight cut for too long as it is.

I already told yall barao about to ride into the sunset he won 22 straight he ain't hungry no more. :mjcry: Aldo probably just gonna leave UFC all together when he breaks the title record if he still is under contract with x many fights left. The announcement was for Pettis to get that work too.
