    Holloway is gangster as f---. Most dudes would sit on their a--- for a year in his position. Then again, those dudes wouldn't have gotten to where he is.

    Lawler's reign is over. The Diaz rematch is what everybody wants so hopefully that happens. Rory is probably going to Bellator or One since GSP is now saying he would fight Woodley for the WW strap.

    Fights added to the October 1st Portland show. Guess Oliveira is going back to LW. That September 24th Brazil card seems to be getting the Vancouver treatment, only 2 fights announced for that one.

    Will Brooks vs. Alex Oliviera
    Bobby Green vs. Josh Burkman
    Louis Smolka vs. Sergio Pettis
    Tamdan McCrory vs. Nate Marquardt
    Walt Harris vs. Shamil Abdurakhimov
    Luis Henrique vs. Joachim Christensen
    Kelly Faszholz vs. Ketlen Viera

    Pretty much what what i was expecting from Diaz, not in a hurry to get back in there. Hes at the top of the game, hasn't won a fight since 2011 (against a much smaller BJ Penn) but hes at the top.

    He's as delusional as Woodley. Maybe they should fight on their own card just so we can have a hearty chuckle at the PPV numbers. Diaz bros are fan favorites, but no way are they casual draws.

    Yeah I meant to sort of bookend it. Just another memorable fight to cap off his title bids/reign era. Didnt think through the Rory implications of GSP's comments though actually, good point.

    If Woodley is down for 202, I'd be okay with a Diaz match lol. Otherwise not so much.

    Anyways Erick Silva vs Brandon Thatch added to the September 24th Brazil card. Battle of the derailed hype trains. USADA Silva is a shell of his former inflated self, he'll still probably submit Thatch.

    Interesting. Maybe Ferg heard something at the negotiation table.

    Beneil Dariush (#11 LW) vs Rashid Magomedov (#15 LW) added to the Mexico card and Brian Ortega (#9 FW) vs Hacran Dias (#10 FW) added to the Portland card.

    Also Randa Markos (#14 WSW) vs Cortney Casey added last minute to UFC 202.

    Borg is going to murder that poor girl. They must be trying to get her some highlight reel finishes for a main event in the future that they can actually monetize.
