I feel like Dana has already said Romero would be next. Wouldn't put it past him to renege on that now that they need a M.E. for 197. I know Rockhold has said he would never go back to Brazil and fight after TRT Vitor KO'd him, but we'll see.

Why not just do the week free trial for Fight Pass? Or if you do the UFC Rewards, just get a month free like I do.

Any clue how many fights they're showing before the Fedor fight tomorrow morning?

 

Dec 30, 2015

Probably 10 fights or so and then it'll be Fedor.

 

Dec 31, 2015

So no need to set an alarm? Sweet

 

Dec 31, 2015

Unless you planning on being up by like 6EST.

 

Dec 31, 2015

The time slot is from 10 am-1:15 pm ET I don't know if Spike is showing the card top to bottom.

 

Dec 31, 2015

Yeah but that's on tape delay. Starts like right now, if you wanna stay up and watch live.

Also if you're not trying to use a russian VPN to watch on the website linked by you, then taima.tv/r/mma

goddamnit, i didnt read that you posted that. now i feel dumb for @ing you

 

Dec 31, 2015

Yea I assumed Johnny was talking about the Spike broadcast when he said "no need to set an alarm", since Fedor's fight probably happens around 5-6 a.m. ET.

 

Dec 31, 2015

Decent card, its nice to see mma under an alternate rule set.

UFN 82 gets its main event.... Cowboy moves to 170 vs Tim Means

 

Jan 3, 2016

Condit possibly thinking of retiring after yesterdays loss. He's an awesome fighter and love watching him fight. But, if it's for the better than I say go for it. Similar to GSP when he retired, get out while you're ahead.

Dana White:Looking for a Fight episode 2



They found Sage Northcutt in the 1st episode.

 

Jan 7, 2016

Dana said on UFC Tonight that Holly will be defending her belt against someone other then Ronda. Has to be Miesha. 197 has been rumored to not be in Rio anymore, rumors are Seattle or Dallas. Miesha is from Washington & Mighty Mouse grew up in Washington(him vs Cejudo is another fight rumored for that card)

Also Joseph Benavidez vs Zach Makovsky added to UFC 196. Have a feeling Benavidez will get his 3rd crack at DJ after Cejudo gets his shot, because there's nobody else.
