224 was such a good card top to bottom. All those finishes were awesome.

 

Sooo, will Nunes move up in weight now and fight Cyborg?

 

I hope so. Nunes is kind of like Stipe - had a couple of losses but then quietly rose up through the ranks and dismantled everyone at the top one by one. Very little hype behind either of them for the longest time, but they've gotten to the point where neither of them has many options as far as opponents go besides other champs.

 

Lol somebody call Gina Carano up.

 

Chuck Liddell officially un-retired. Says he Fights Tito in November under the new Golden Boy MMA promotion.

 

He said he wants a few fights and then he wants Jon Jones lmfao. Today is wild

 

I've actually always said that Chuck in his prime would have been a great stylistic match up for Jones. I mean, there's no ideal match up for Jones, but prime Chuck was really unorthodox, had KO power, great takedown defense, and had an amazing chin.

After that chin went away though he was basically useless. I don't like his odds against anyone if he comes back.

 

Chuck is almost fifty

it's not safe for him to be fighting

this is bad

 

Known NFL good guy, Greg Hardy, is getting a UFC tryout fight. They sure know how to pick winners.

 

Rumors that Helwani might be heading to ESPN to cover MMA

 

Ariel annoys me for no particular reason, so him moving to ESPN would be whatever. If Chuck gets a license it'll be disappointing.

 

Helwani and Chael Sonnen will have a weekly show on ESPN covering MMA

 

I find Chael so entertaining, so I might give this a shot.

 

Maia walked to the octagon with Linkin Park - Numb playing. Lol wut.

 

That’s weird?

 

I mean, he can walk out to whatever he wants to. I think it’s a strange pick is all.

 

I think he always does. I’ve heard a few linkin Park songs a lot for walk out. Not sure if noticed it more since Chester passed

 

Usman, the new Jon Fitch.

 

I'm not all that disappointed to be honest. Slide Kongo in and I'd be fine.

 

Fox just picked up WWE Smackdown.

I know it wasn’t likely that the UFC stayed regardless but I wonder where they land.

 

l o l

 

I don't get it. The best still keep trying to dope and think they won't get flagged. I just don't get it. What makes them think it'll be different for them?

 

Absolutely no idea. It’s very apparent that no one is safe from getting flagged

We don’t know exactly what he popped for yet but this really hurts his legacy imo. He had such a great run for a few years and it put him in the conversation as one of the best heavyweights of all time.
