    What would you guys want to see happen in the MW division?

    Bisping Vs. Hendo II?
    Bisping Vs. GSP?
    Bisping Vs. Weidman?
    Bisping Vs. Souza?

    or a Rockhold rematch?

    From a matchup standpoint i wouldn't mind the Weidman fight. Should be Jacare, but probably will be Hendo in the UK.

    Mitrione dropped in the first 30 seconds and then came back to win.

    d--- Joe Schilling gets the Kato rematch in his world (kickboxing) and gets highlight reel KO'd again...

    Bellator 139 almost a year ago to the date(June 26th, 2015)

    [​IMG]

    Tonight



    Also Chandler wrecked Patricky tonight. He'll defend against Bendo or Josh Thomson

    [​IMG]

    Rampage looked terrible, the rest of the fights were pretty dope though.

    Caught some of it last night. Glad to see kickboxing getting some shine again though I don't think Lellator can seriously compete with Glory. That Donald Jabroni fella was pretty exciting. Schilling got embarrassed, and he would've easily won that fight with a little more discipline. Rampage needs to hang them up. He's got nothing left to prove and very few fun fight options. Chandler-Pitbull was super anticlimactic. Dynamite is easily the best thing going for Bellator imo. Will watch every one of them.

    Glory is on later. Hopefully Saenchai looks good. He's suffered an embarrassing loss under kickboxing rules to a Chinese nobody before. There's a reason Buakaw wasn't a Lumpinee champ even though he was excellent in K-1.

    UFC 202 looks pretty good.

    Nate Diaz vs Conor McGregor
    Anthony Johnson vs Glover Teixeira
    Donald Cerrone vs Rick Story
    Cody Garbrandt vs Takeya Mizugaki
    Thiago Alves vs Al Iaquinta
    Hyun Gyu Lim vs Sultan Aliev

    Figured they would hold Rumble out for MSG though at this point. If Rumble doesn't win and come out unscathed we won't see Jones on that card.

    edit: Forgot to mention Mike Chiesa is out of the Tony Ferguson fight, I thought Cerrone might be considered but I don't think he will be taking any LW fights on 2 weeks notice.

    Really hoping Khabib steps in against Ferguson, but who knows who's in shape enough for 2 weeks notice.

    Hes very religious and won't fight during or around Ramadan. He wants to fight again around September-November.

    Neil Magny (#7 WW) vs Dong Hyun Kim (#10 WW) also added to 202. Would have preferred Cerrone vs Magny and Story vs Kim i think.

    Also



    Based on everything Condit has said I gotta believe its the Diaz rematch.

    Condit vs Maia at 202. That card is starting to remind me of UFC 198 in terms of depth. Don't really like the match up for Condit though.

    Funny that Diaz vs McGregor isn't in the top 3 in terms of relevant WW fights on the card.

    Karma for Tony. Dude pulls out of Main Event with Khabib, rips him for taking fight with a nobody. Same thing happens to him and he takes fight with a nobody.

    That really sucks because that fight with Chiesa was dope as f---.
