    Thank God. Hopefully McGregor attempts to fight Aldo (good luck making weight, lad). Khabib-Eddie sounds good to me.

    Sounds like the UFC is on plan F with this PPV. UFC 201 did 240 K PPV buys and Alvarez won his belt on Fight Pass. Probably gonna do 450 K buys.

    There's no reason to waste Conor on a card that's already got a lot of talent on it. The UFC has made record profits this year and will continue to do so regardless of when Conor fights next, especially with Ronda supposedly returning as well as the rumored GSP-Silva matchup. Looking at 200 or 201 or 205 in a vacuum just isn't fair.

    The card has a lot of talent, but its not doing PPV numbers. This is more of a historic card then UFC 200, they've been trying to get into NY and have a show at MSG for probably 10 years. You want to put one of your biggest PPV draws on the card. As is its a great card, but you want to get eyes on this specific card and casuals will not be lining up to see this one.

    Also there's talk that McGregor is still recovering from a foot(?) injury and won't be able to make 205.

    lol



    Hilarious that Wand/his team still have beef with this guy



    Also Ross Pearson vs James Krause added to Belfast card. Also Brendan Schaub is saying Eddie held out for more money to fight Conor and Joe Silva bitched him out and also Weidman i guess is holding out after the s--- the UFC pulled with his boy Al Iaquinta.

    Despite the UFC claiming that Weidman/Romero was official a few weeks back, Helwani's post that other day made it pretty clear that it wasn't.

    Not sure why ppl think Cruz is such a big BW (not talking heights, shes obviously in heels). That being said Cyborg would probably die getting down to that weight.

    Jesus, I'm getting screwed on this card lol. Oh well I didn't know most of those fighters anyways, hope it'll still be good.

    It'll be a nice experience at the very least.

    All confirmed matches for UFC 205 (I believe) so far

    I know Woodley & Wonderboy confirmed it happening but wasn't sure if the UFC ever officially confirmed that it'll be happening at 205.

    I still havent figured out if Tecia Torres and Raquel Pennington are really married or if its just a joke. Anyways Liam McGeary vs Phil Davis is finally going down at Bellator 163 on November 4th, about 6-7 months too late imo. That fight needed to happen right after the Dynamite show where Phil wrecked Francis Carmont & Emannuel Newton and Liam beat Tito easily.

    Anyways Invicta tonight. Hamasaki/Frey winner will probably move up to 115 LBS and come to the UFC.

    [​IMG]

    Also Mizuki Inoue tore her ACL so she won't fight Angela Hill next, that hurts since the UFC just brought in Alexa Grasso.

    Also Brandon Moreno in for Sergio Pettis against Louis Smolka. Moreno fought on the 1st episode of this TUF season as the 16 seed against the #1 seed Alexandre Pantonja. He probably won the 1st round of that fight and surprised a lot of ppl.
