    Khabib Nurmagomedov vs. Donald Cerrone set to be the UFC 187 Pre-Main Event

    It's gonna be weird waiting like 3 months to see Cowboy fight after seeing him fight 2 fights in a month.

    Edgar takes that fight easily imo. Good time for the fight though as there arent many contenders at BW and Faber knocking them off wouldnt make sense + if Aldo beats Conor he has very few options as well so having Frankie fight 7 weeks out from that fight lines him up for the winner no matter who it is. Although the way the UFC works Aldo probably would get that immediate rematch.

    Daniel Cormier vs Ryan Bader will headline a Fight Night event on June 6th in New Orleans(Cormier's home town).

    UFC Tonight is on right now, Helwani supposedly has a bunch of other "nuggets".

    Guess this means Gustafsson vs Glover or Rashad.

    Frankie will smoke him. Faber has been slipping. Fun fight though, I look forward to seeing it. Glad the UFC is starting to put these fun fights together.

    Poor Bader... but he was never going to get a title shot anyway.

    Romero vs Souza rebooked as co-main for UFC on Fox (Lyoto vs Rockhold main.) Also Cerrone vs Khabib is pretty much confirmed for UFC 187

    -Frankie vs Urijah is confirmed and will take place at FW
    -Rashad Evans had his second ACL surgery in early January, has kinda been keeping it under wraps but wants to reurn in 6-8 months
    -Stefan Struve is going to move his camps to the Blackzillians, he and Big Nog want to fight each other
    -Josh Barnett wants to finally return in the Summer

    Machida/Rockhold and Jacare/Romero is a cool little tournament, whoever looks more impressive should get the next shot. Reminds me of when the UFC did that with Shogun/Vera and Machida/Bader a few years back.

    Hope that one is far enough away that those fighters can cycle off lol. But the only guy of those 4 i have suspicions of is Romero and when i say suspicions i mean im almost certain lol. Jacare is pretty fucken ripped as well though.

    Rockhold has been pretty vocal against steroids. That being said ppl have been digging up anti-roids comments in interviews from Silva, Fitch and Lombard all week so who knows.

    Good quality WSOF link

    http://www.vipleague.se/boxing/283632/2/mma-world-series-of-fighting-18-live-stream-online.html

    First fight just ended but it was a back and forth war.

    Think Cody Mckenzie is fighting next, so much for him retiring because he couldnt make any money fighting.

    WSOF announced its next 3 shows on the broadcast tonight.

    WSOF 19-March 28th in Phoenix, Arizona

    Justin Gaethje vs Luis Palomino-For LW Title
    Thiago Silva vs Ronny Markes-LHW Semi final

    WSOF 20-April 10 at Foxwoods Casino in Connecticut

    Matt Hamill vs Vinny Magalhaes-LHW Semi final
    Ozzy Dugulubgov vs Melvin Guillard

    WSOF 21-June 5th in Edmonton

    Yushin Okami vs Ryan Ford
    Smealinho Rama vs Blagoi Ivanov


    Okami is moving to the WW division which is surprising considering hes a huge MW.

    For those who dont recognize the Melvins opponent, he had one of my favorite KO's last year.
