    Caught some of the highlights. On paper nothing really stood out to me, plus is started at like 2 A.M. local time.

    I'll watch Wand/Cro Cop 2 though, i guess.

    Brought me back to 4-5 years ago when Dana was still doing his scrums.

    Is that worth checking out?

    Not sure I want to willingly tolerate Rosenberg for 40+ mins unless it's worth watching

    I enjoyed it. Dana interviews are a rarity nowadays, and i used to live for the scrums/Helwani interviews he used to do.

    Unless the UFC plans to throw a curveball later today, seems like that's actually happening.
    Edit: nvm UFC confirmed it

    If Weidman/Romero ends up on this card, its the GOAT easily. 4 champs on 1 card...

    Main Card

    Eddie Alvarez vs Conor McGregor-For LW Title
    Tyron Woodley vs Stephen Thompson-For WW Title
    Joanna Jedrzejczyk vs Karolina Kowalkiewicz-For WSW Title
    Donald Cerrone vs Kelvin Gastelum
    Miesha Tate vs Raquel Pennington

    Prelims

    Frankie Edgar vs Jeremy Stephens
    Tim Kennedy vs Rashad Evans
    Jim Miller vs Thiago Alves
    Liz Carmouche vs Katlyn Chookagian
    Tim Boetsch vs Rafael Natal
    Lyman Good vs Belal Muhammad

    So bar the possible Weidman / Romero match up, we basically know the whole card bar the FP exclusive ones right?

    Good/Muhammad and Boetsch/Natal are likely Fight Pass, hard to say what the FP headliner will be though. My guess would be Miller/Alves.

    There are 11 fights total, think we're guaranteed one more whether its Weidman/Romero or they find another fight. They've done a lot of cards that have had 13 fights, so i wouldn't rule that out but 12 is the current norm. Weidman/Romero would probably be the 4th fight from the top, knocking Cerrone/KG to Main Card opener and Tate/Pennington to the FS1 headliner.

    Card needs Weidman imo, dude put in more work then any Fighter to get the sport legalized there.

    I guess Dana is saying he might add Khabib vs Michael Johnson to 205. Still think we're overdue to see Khabib in a 5 round fight. Should make that the December 9th Albany headliner.

    Apparently Dana has confirmed Khabib vs Johnson at 205 at the live presser.

    Serious question here: whose idea was it to have Cerrone sing In the the promo intro for the press conference?

    oh and Aldo is apparently requesting his release from the UFC (yet to confirm that though)

    Jake Ellenberger vs Jorge Masvidal added to the TUF 24 Finale card December 3rd and Claudia Gadelha (#1 WSW) vs Cortney Casey (#14 WSW) added to UFC FN 100 in Brazil on November 19th.
