    Kennedy's tweets roasting him were classic.

    I guess I wouldn't rule out the possibility of Anderson Silva wrecking Bisping and then getting a title shot at UFC 200, but I would assume Weidman is the front runner.

    Coker needs to setup Penn-Pulver III. Old man matches are fun.

    ^Yea but BJ would never fight for Bellator due to his UFC contract & the fact that he's a company man and wouldn't fight for the UFC's biggest competitor.

    I would watch him fight Nik Lentz or rematches with Gomi or Diego.

    Just don't want to see him in fights where he gets his a--- whooped like he did against Diaz, Rory and Frankie.

    I would much rather watch BJ fight than 95% of the current roster.....

    Thats an alarming number for how abysmal he looked in his last fight.

    This is what bj dose though, He's a fighter
    "That's who I am, Ariel. That's who I am. That's what I do."
    Thats his quote the other day from the mma hour and it got me hyped actually, he's was really liked in my circle of friends. Hes coming back with greg jackson atleast so that makes it a bit more intriguing.

    I mean that's easy to say when there are 500 fighters on the roster... Point is I wouldn't mind the Lentz fight but I also don't want to see him get destroyed again.

    Redsoxx what's your thoughts on Dos Anjos v Mcgregor?
    my initial thought was he's going to get ragdolled. But I'm not so sure any more. It's hard to get a good read on RDA. I'm not sold on him, but he is dangerous as f---.

    After the Aldo fight I can't pick against Conor, especially with a lesser weight cut. RDA has the potential to do to him what Mendes did, but I see Conor's speed being too much on the feet. If RDA tries to bull rush him like he did to Cerrone he will get picked off and KO'd.

    RDA needs to get the takedown immediately and if he does then Conor will be in deep s---.

    Tony Ferguson vs Michael Johnson rematch added to UFC 197. Doesnt make all that much sense with Ferguson having won 7 in a row since he lost to Johnson and MJ has lost 2 in a row(even though we all had him beating Dariush). Still with Conor potentially winning the belt and then defending against Frankie at UFC 200, the division might be held hostage until the end of 2016.

    Full card so far...

    Rafael Dos Anjos vs Conor McGregor
    Holly Holm vs Miesha Tate
    Tony Ferguson vs Michael Johnson
    Jim Miller vs Diego Sanchez
    Erick Silva vs Nordine Taleb
    Corey Anderson vs Tom Lawlor
    Darren Elkins vs Chas Skelly

    Ferguson wanted to fight before his baby is born in April. He wanted Khabib but Khabib isn't cleared until someone in April, so next was Alvarez but he suffered a foot injury in the Pettis fight, so Ferguson suggested the Johnson rematch. According to John Morgan
