    Yeah my friend mentioned after Wrestlemania I think? Because Brock's contract runs out then. That'd be cool if he came back.

    If Brock can come back and be 100% healthy, he could do decent at HW. He'd lose to Cain and likely never win a belt again but he could have a good mid level run. He could beat half of the HW division, if not more and would be an absolutely massive PPV draw obviously.

    There are some good match ups you could make with him as well.

    If Mir somehow beats Bigfoot i could see them making that third fight or feeding him Big Nog. Would be interested in fights with Barnett and Nelson as well.

    Mir would be good for the rubber match, Brock smashes him I'd say, but even if Big Foot beats Mir, feed him to Brock, would be a pretty big fight. I know Big Foot doesn't have the name or history with Brock, but he is a gigantic person. Mitrione or someone could be a fight as well, though Brock would obviously be PPV and likely a headliner so you'd want someone big.

    Saffiedine has now pulled out of like three fights since coming over from SF. Wont be that mad if the replacement is Story, Rory or Lombard after he wrecks Burkman Saturday. Still a late replacement having to fight at altitude sucks.

    Hendricks vs Lawler III set for UFC 186 in Montreal on April 26th. UFC 185 will take place on March 14th in Dallas. My guess is the Dallas card will be Pettis vs RDA.

    If McGregor beats Siver he gets the next title shot. Also Dana has said if Lombard wins on Saturday and can do a quick turnaround he'll face Brown

    Lombard/Brown would be awesome. Tough fight for Lombard if he cant put him away early since he tends to fade, it will be 5 rounds and also at altitude.

    I wouldn't call Cormier a dark horse. He could face the winner of Evans/Glover or the loser of Johnson/Gus and get a rematch probably lol

    True, but his knee will need surgery and who knows what the division will look like a year from now. Plus he's 35 and who knows what kind of toll that loss put on him. Lots of questions.

    Next will clearly be Gus/Rumble winner, after that its hard to say. Phil Davis was talking a bunch of s--- at the press conference when Jones was fighting Glover and Phil was fighting Rumble, but then he got his a--- whooped. Still if he beats Bader and then gets one more win i could see him getting fed to Jones just because hes a new face.

    Well i mean its pretty much a fact that after Gus/Rumble gets their shot, we're not gonna have much interest in that next opponent. So he can either take 8 months months off and hope someone new comes out of nowhere or fight someone like Davis, rematch Rashad or OSP? He doesnt want to fight at LHW so hopefully some new blood comes out of nowhere.

    At this point I think Jones beats Cain... #SuperFight

    but not until he beats Gus and Rumble.

    Cain has a never ending gas tank, i think he would rag doll Jon. Jon dont want that fight though.

    Eddie Alvarez out of his fight with Bendo, Cowboy Cerrone will replace him.

    Wow ridiculous, Cerrone is a stud.

    Hopefully this fight turns out more like their first meeting and not so much like their second.
