    Nate going back up to WW? Hmmm, don't think that's a smart move. Nick should go back down to WW.

    Of course Diaz claims he's not fighting Matt Brown, but says he's fighting Pettis.

    With all these strong cards in July, I'm scared that we're going to get a s-----y card for the Nashville show in August

    Melvin Guillard was pulled from the WSOF card a few days ago. He had a huge falling out with the promotion so hes probably done with them.

    Not sure anyone really cares but apparently Phil Davis is close to signing with Bellator. I honestly cant stand watching Phil fight. The LHW division sucks but still, let him go win the Bellator belt.

    Also Ronny Markes is out of his WSOF fight with Dave Branch. That LHW tournament they set up has really gone to s---. Was originally supposed to be Vinny Magalhaes vs Matt Hamill and Thiago Silva vs Ronny Markes. Then something happened with Vinny and his Titan FC contract so he was pulled, then they made Silva vs Hamill and put MW champ Dave Branch in with Markes. Then Hamill gets sick the day of the fight, they put in some guy named Teddy Holder and he KO's Silva. Now Markes is out and they put in some guy names Jesse McElligot. WSOF is a mess right now.

    Best show tonight is Bellator, Will Brooks is legit and should wreck Jansen, Joe Schilling had that epic KO of Manhoef in his last fight. Hes got a tough opponent in Carvalho, that fight should be great. Also Tiger Sarnavskiy vs Marcin Held has potential to be a #1 contender fight, probably only if Held wins though since Brooks beat Tiger decisively. Alexander Volkov is back, he should be fighting Minakov in a rematch for the belt but Minakov is MIA and nobody really knows whats going on with him.

    Does anyone hate Sean Wheelock? I've been listening to his and Big John's podcast, for BJ, but my god I cannot stand Sean Wheelock. He may be knowledgeable, but he's the biggest self promoting person in the world.

    Everything that has ever happened in ever, Sean Wheelock has a story that ties to it, or was part of it. It's so annoying. His voice is fairly cool, but he just promotes the s--- out of himself and all of his accomplishments and when he talks about them he lists of info about that people don't care about.

    Anyone else feel this way.

    And on that note, anyone have some podcast type stuff they listen to all the time.

    I like Luke Thomas and Ariel, so I listen to MMA Hour, MMA Beat, Monday Morning Analyst and Luke's Live chat, and now Let's Get It On, but I need some more filler through the week. anyone got anything worth listening to?

    Hate Wheelock. Never have listened to that podcast, but I hate him on bellator.
    Luke Thomas is great.
    I recommend Gross Point Blank, The Co-Main Event Podcast, and You're Welcome with Chael Sonnen.
    I have a few more if those don't do it for ya. But those are my favorite besides Promotional Malpractice.

    I mean what contender is really gonna fight Jacare on a week notice? Sucks but its not the UFC's fault. Hopefully Jacare wins and they book another fight for him asap.

    I know... But I was hoping someone would have had the balls to do it.

    Like you said, hopefully Jacare has a quick turn around.

    This sucks. I was really looking forward to another 'push my face' interview from Romero. Guy spoke no English from what I heard upon coming to the ufc but that interview was so honest and did just about everything to try to connect with the fans. Huge respect for him, besides the terrific comeback in that fight of course

    Ps. Aldo take notes

    Scott Jorgensen moving back up to BW and will fight Manny Gamburyan at UFC FN 72 in San Diego.

    WEC throw back, Jorgensen fought Cruz for the belt and Manny fought Aldo for the belt. Both on a pretty steep decline lately though, specifically Jorgensen.
