    Feel like this card is getting glossed over, will be interesting to see if they advertise for it on Fox during the NFC Championship game or if it will all be about the McGregor show.

    Stacked card. But with the way injuries are recently, it's hard for me to get excited about it this far out

    The Gus/Rumble fight card is stacked, I've been seeing some promotion for it. I hope they step it up.

    With Aldo/McGregor pretty much set for Memorial Day Weekend, the UFC seems set for the majority of the year in terms of PPV's.

    February-MW/ WBW titles
    March-LW /WSW title
    April-BW Title
    May-FW Title
    June-HW title
    July-I could see this being a huge card with Jones and Robbie defending. Although ive heard Pettis and Ronda want to fight that weekend as well.

    I like the Cain/Werdum match up, ya Cain is far and away the best in his division i still enjoy watching him fight.

    Anyways I know it was reported last night but April 4th card in Fairfax,Virginia will be headlined by Chad Mendes vs Ricardo Lamas and the main card starts at 1 PM ET, which is actually pretty cool. Bobby Green vs Jorge Masvidal is the co main. Mike Chiesa vs Mitch Clarke, Dustin Poirier moving back up to LW to fight Carlos Diego Ferreira and debuting HW's Shamil Abdurahimov and Tim Johnson will also fight on the card.

    Also Joseph Duffy vs Vagner Rocha is happening at UFC 185, Duffy was the last man to beat Conor McGregor.

    Rumor has it Cro Cop is coming back to the UFC. Apparently he was very close to signing with Bellator and then the UFC found out and offered him big money.

    Obviously Cro Cop is a shell of himself but he is still somewhat of a draw i guess. Still better then a lot of the cans sitting at the bottom of the division.

    Maybe he fights Big Nog and loser retires or something.

    People are also saying that if Lesnar decides to return to MMA instead of re-signing with WWE, the UFC will basically pay him whatever he wants to keep him from going to any other organization

    I'd rather see Cro Cop fight in the UFC than in Bellator, but I'd rather not see Cro Cop fight at all. Give him winnable fan friendly fights and I'll be content, maytbe if he strings some wins together he can get a higher ranked guy, but I don't want to see him fight top level guys, even if he's getting paid a s--- load.

    I just hope we can see one more vintage Cro Cop head kick, although i dont even think he has that in his arsenal anymore. He seems to be more of a boxer now.

    Anyways after the Tito/Bonnar ratings came out, the UFC realized how valuable these old school guys were in terms of ratings. I still wonder if Bellator has any way of blocking the Rampage fight, although i would assume the UFC wouldnt have booked it if that were the case.

    Anyways Douglas Lima is hurt and out of the Paul Daley fight, they will supposedly announce a new match up for Daley tonight. Also Bobby Lashley is out of his fight on the same card with Josh Thompson and they are replacing that with a "super fight", King Mo vs Cheick Kongo.

    Anyways Cro Cop posted on FB that his first fight will be in April, wants to revenge some of his losses. Hope they stay away from JDS, Schaub and Big Country and look more at Big Nog and maybe Gonzaga. I assume the first fight will be a gimme though.

    The end of the video tho.... sleazy f---ers. I feel like if i breathe in the wrong way around police they think i'm a threat that needs to be controlled lol. I understand it's a tough job but f---.... that video was ridiculous and the fact that they said he approached "aggressively" on the report just makes it worse.

    Cerrone breaks down his emotions just before the fight and as he walks out. Don't k--- me for this but its a little reminiscent of Mike Tyson's famous break down as he walks out too.
