    Oh,right, we have Werdum vs Arlovski. This is going to be a war. I don't know who to root for,lol, both guys are amazing fighter and I can see is going either way.

    The UFC hasn't confirmed that it will be Arlovski getting the title shot yet, apparently it's between him and Stipe. Although the longer the UFC goes w/o announcing it the more I think JDS is in the mix. They should do Arlovski because it might be the last chance they get to give him a title shot. Either way im expecting some big HW fight announcements in the coming weeks.

    Surprised Duffy got that fight/main event. Joe Silva must read sherdog or something lol.

    Kinda thought Gunnar would M.E. that card.

    Same here was expecting a Gunni/Thompson
    Main event

    They know they can put anyone as main event and it will sell out quick

    I think I'll struggle to get a ticket

    they're setting up Mir vs Arlovski at 191, f--- yeah battle of the guys who have glass jaws but for whatever reason also have full confidence in their glass jaws. More stoked for this than DJ/Dodson, that's for sure

    Guess they're gonna go with JDS/Werdum rematch, not really any other good options for the HW crown

    There were rumors of Overeem/JDS and Pettis/Diaz for the December Fox card.

    Werdum said in an interview recently that he wanted some time off and they should do a 4 man tourney and he would fight the winner. I'm sure the UFC said "f--- that" though as they should.

    I don't know what the hold up is on announcing what is next for Werdum, but with AA/Mir being announced it's probably gonna be Stipe.

    I think the UFC is strategically trying to avoid JDS/Cain 4.

    191 looks a lot better now. Take ya Mizugaki is fighting George Roop on the Japan FN card as well.

    Interesting.



    Should put Dillashaw vs Assuncao on there too because Werdum vs TBA, Weidman/Rockhold, RDA/Cerrone, Aldo/McGregor and Rousey/Tate 3 all are gonna need dates.

    f--- I was stoked hearing Lawler/Condit was gonna headline Calgary UFC 194... I know Dana says he owes Calgary bigtime but I don't think he gives us Weidman/Rockhold. I bet RDA/Cerrone headlines it.... probably still have to make the trip for that one :emoji_thumbsup:

    Was mainly paying attention to the UFC fights, but they were showing WSOF on a smaller screen. Shields sucker punched Palhares after the fight, but Palhares also didn't let go when Shields tapped/the referee tried to pull him off
