    Seems like Bader to Bellator is pretty much done. Also looks like MVP will finally fight someone with a pulse, him vs Paul Daley in London in May.

    Fabricio Werdum vs Ben Rothwell added to UFC 211. Pretty much insurance for a JDS pull out.

    Hoping they add JJ vs Andrade. UFC 212 is June 3rd in Brazil, so i think that will be Aldo vs Holloway and Nunes vs Shevchenko 2. Think Bisping/Romero is gonna get pushed back to July, just based on the fact that i don't think it happens in Dallas and there is zero chance of it happening in Brazil.

    Would love for Conor to be back by July, but I don't know if thats realistic.

    Someone on Reddit made this heat map of the UFC ranked fighters.

    http://ufcheatmap.com/heavyweight

    HW one tells you just how long a lot of the same guys have been around the UFC. But yea obviously the retired fighters aren't on there like Miesha, Faber etc.

    Great map, thoughts on Ngannou? Dude is a beast, but he hasn't really faced any top 5 guys. Heard he may face Cain

    He's got the least wear and the biggest upside of anybody in the division. Should fight some other bottom 10 guys before Cain though.

    The loser of Rothwell-Werdum or Overeem-Hunt? Ideally, anyway imo.

    Great point, I strongly agree, also do you think Mark Hunt still has it? I feel as if he should retire? Same goes for Overeem and Velasquez

    Eh, Mark lost to Brock in an uneventful fight and won two in a row before that. Maybe if his chin goes. Reem's chin is gone. Him and Arlovski both need to retire unfortunately. Only Velasquez knows if he can continue. Lot of stuff up in the air at the moment.

    Cain should honestly retire after 1-2 fight, the fact that he keeps getting injured coupled with the fact that he's aging just means he should retire. Imagine if he didn't get injured, dude wouldve retired as the GOAT Heavyweight and imo top 3 Of all time

    Huge fan of Ngannou. I was thinking more Lewis/Browne winner or Roy Nelson for him next. Cain should fight Overeem if he beats Hunt.

    Anyways, Eduardo Dantas will defend his title against Darrion Caldwell at Bellator 177 in Budapest on April 14th. Also Rory MacDonald will fight Paul Daley at Bellator 179 in London on May 19th. So much for MVP vs Daley.
