    Would have been cool if they gave him Roy Nelson or some random HW.

    Anyways WSOF on tonight. 2 division champ(LHW/MW) will defend his MW title. Starts at 11:30 ET on NBC Sports. WW title is also up for grabs. Was supposed to be Fitch vs Shields, but Shields is having contract issues i guess.

    Anyways main card:

    David Branch vs Clifford Starks-For MW Title
    Jon Fitch vs Joao Zeferino-For Vacant WW Title
    Jake Heun vs Vinny Magalhaes
    Abu Azaitar vs. Danny Davis Jr.

    Dudes dangerous enough to take on with a full camp, would need to throw a blank check their way to make somebody fight him in short notice.
    This worth checking out?

    My bad, was a pretty mediocre card.

    Anyways DC saying he wont be back until August or September, which is literally like the worst timing. Cant fight at 200 and that is way too close to the MSG date to not push it until November.

    Honestly Jones should just defend his belt at UFC 200 against Rumble. DC's belt isnt real anyways and i dont want him taking 7 months off after this fight, especially since his last fight was in January of 2015.

    If MSG is in November and hes back August would be enough time with a 2 month camp?

    didn't he say he wouldn't fight Jones in New York?

    if Frankie wins and him and Conor come out of 200 injury free could see that being main event

    Yea i dunno I think they are gonna want Jones on that MSG card, especially if Weidman loses to Rockhold in June(which i think he will). Doubt they would risk Jones getting hurt prior to the card either.

    anything can happen in MMA but can't see him getting hurt by OSP

    the MSG card will be better then 200 which is underwhelming so far

    and yeah cant see how Weidman beats Rockhold, I was pulling for Weidman in the rematch till I heard all of his excuses

    I thought you were insinuating you wanted Jones/DC in August. I meant he could get hurt in that fight and not be available for MSG.

    I think he dusts OSP and then would be ready for a fight with Rumble at UFC 200. Then if he gets by Rumble they do Jones/DC 2 at MSG.

    Assuming this happens, we'll have somebody win and defend an intern championship for a belt they never lost before they face the "real" champ?

    Pretty much yea lol. Jones to me is the real champ and #1 P4P and hes putting that on the line April 23. Dont care about DC's belt.

    Anyways Yoel Romero's suspension is gonna be reduced from 9 months to likely 6 and he'll be able to fight again late Summer.

    lol at DC offering to help OSP, and saying he wants him to beat JBJ.

    They are going at it on twitter right now. DC is attacking fans and s---. f--- DC, dude doesn't know when to shut up. He can't stand that the fans don't like him.
    To put in pro wrestling terms: he's like a face that can't get over with the fans.

    If times ever get tough for JBJ, he can always fall back on selling space in DC's head since he sure owns a good chunk of it

    Season 24 of the UFC's hit reality show, The Ultimate Fighter (TUF), carries golden implications.

    According to a press release issued Tuesday from the UFC, 16 flyweight fighters will compete, with the winner receiving a title shot at the show's finale in December.

    This marks the third time the reality show has carved a path to the title. In Season 4,Matt Serra won the tournament and a shot at Georges St-Pierre's welterweight title, and Carla Esparza captured the inaugural strawweight title in Season 20.

    Currently, Demetrious Johnson – who faces Henry Cejudo April 23 at UFC 197 – holds the UFC flyweight championship. He is the first and only man to hold the 125-pound title inside the Octagon.

    Tryouts will take place April 25 in Las Vegas at Palace Station. TUF 24 will begin filming in June and the show will premiere August 31 on Fox Sports 1.

    Dope. I always like it more when the seasons actually lead to something instead of just a winner that's going to spend most of their time on the prelims before getting cut
