    AKA strikes again

    Should take Tony Ferguson out of his fight with Josh Thomson and put him in against Cowboy. Thomson can fight Barboza or Dariush.

    I think the time is now for a Cowboy Title shot. Probably the last chance hes gonna get and for all the work hes put in, taking late replacement fights, NEVER pulling out of fights etc...

    He'll probably stay on the card but there arent many fights that make sense for him. Masvidal would be perfect if he got the decision against Iaquinta, other then that everyone is booked up or hes beaten. Although i guess Josh Thomson is trying to get the fight.

    Nooo Khabib!!!

    Sooo disappointing.

    I agree with Redsoxx, f--- it just give Cowboy the title shot. unfortunately RDA is out until Fall.

    edit: Makdessi is fighting Cerrone

    I guess Khabib is looking to return in October. Cowboy should fight RDA after he beats Makdessi and Khabib can fight either Melendez/Alvarez winner or Bendo/Johnson winner for the next shot after that.

    And no im not giving Makdessi a shot at beating Cowboy.

    Should just make the Bader/Teixeira rematch for New Orleans. That fight was awesome for the minute it lasted.

    This guy my friend used to train with is fighting on the Kimbo vs Shamrock Bellator card. I'm assuming it's on the prelims, he's currently 3-0

    I'm going to a concert on the 23rd, hopefully it's over and we can get out of the parking lot early enough to find a bar and at least catch the Johnson vs Cormier and Weidman vs Belfort fights

    Hopefully you get to see it, even with the loss of jones it's still a quality card and then we have the big one aldo - mcgregor July 11th, praying the mma gods keep both fighters free from injury lol :)

    UFC 187 is obviously the stand out card in May but Hunt/Miocic, Faber/Edgar and Condit/Alves are all pretty sweet M.E.'s.

    Alex White posted on Facebook yesterday he's out of his fight on the Edgar/Faber card due to some upper body injury and hopes to be back in 2-3 months

    Thomas Almeida vs Brad Pickett added to UFC 189, tough fight for Pickett in his first fight back at BW.

    UFC announced payouts for Reebok deal...

    As many have said, this benefits the guys with no names and no sponsors. Guys that have been around for a while, but are mid-tier fighters get screwed.

    Champs will always be okay... as long as they have the gold.

    I dunno i think the guys who have been around for a while but are mediocre like Scott Jorgensen and Tibau are the guys who benefit the most.

    Seems like a pretty s--- deal for a lot of the fighters though as they made more off other sponsors.
