    Hunt is the frontrunner (but i think he is too dangerous), then Struve, doubt Carwin can come back, Fedor (after he smokes Maldanado on june 17th), and Mir is suspended.

    I would like to see them pull Josh Barnett from his fight with Arlovski and have Lesnar vs Barnett. Two former champs and relatively low risk for Brock.

    Isnt Mir's status up in the air after his match against Hunt? Wasn't there some sort of violation or something agaisnt him

    Edit: Going off UFCs heavy weight rankings,Hunt is the only one in the top 10 without a current match scheduled so my bets on him unless ththdy bring somebody else in (assuming this actually happens)

    Forgot Mir was out,

    Brock hasn't fought since 2011

    He will probably get a lower ranked fighter, just having him on the card probably breaks UFC 100 PPV numbers

    Apparently UFC officials escorted Helwani out of the building and gave him a lifetime ban, presumably for breaking the news about Lesnar

    ^Ever since he was fired by Fox hes been breaking news right before UFC Tonight airs and that Lesnar thing was probably the last straw.

    Yea its lame and Dana pretty obviously skipped the post fight presser so he didn't have to answer questions about it.

    Not sure what they were hoping to accomplish here

    It's not like Ariel will suddenly stop dropping news over it, all it does is piss off the fans and make the UFC look bad. Them ducking it just makes it worse.

    Yea if anything Ariel will turn into a Front Row Brian type and leak any and every rumor he hears, which is good for us.

    I guess Helwani is going on the Dan Patrick Show tomorrow. Hes been quiet on twitter since the posts about him getting banned. Wonder if hes still doing the MMA Hour tomorrow.

    My buddy who fights for team Curran said the few times he's met Bruce Buffer, he's absolutely insane. Just parties so f---ing hard lmao.
    Him and his brother live the life.

    He said one time Bruce randomly ate breakfast at their table one morning and he said it was the greatest experience of his life lol. It was 9am and the guy already had his hair done up and was ready to get after it again lol. Said he prolly does so much blow.

    Rose Namajunas (#3 WSW) vs Karolina Kowalkiewicz (#6 WSW) added to UFC 201.

    Thought Rose would wait out winner of JJ/Gadelha but winner of this fight will definitely be next.
