    Donald Cerrone just pulled out of his fight with Robbie Lawler, I think they'll either find him a new opponent or add another semi legit fight.

    Thought Cerrone's injury wasn't too serious so they might bump the fight to 214 instead.

    That 214 lineup is already super stacked, but I wouldn't be mad. The next realistic card for Cerrone to return on would be the Edmonton card on September 9th, since he probably wouldn't fight in Mexico City(8/5) or Rotterdam(9/2).

    If 214 added Cerrone/Lawler and didn't lose the Korean Zombie vs Lamas and Choi vs Fili fights it would be almost UFC 205 level (minus the McGregor factor).

    Dana has said Cerrone/Lawler won't be on 214. Cerrone has a staph infection and a pulled groin

    Omielanczuk/Blaydes has been moved from FS1 prelims to the Main Card and Santos/Meerchaert has been moved from Fight Pass to FS1. Supposedly they are going to add 2 more fights to the Fight Pass Prelims.

    Johnson v Gaethje is a barnburner of a fight.

    Todd Grisham not knowing who Sakuraba was when they panned to him in the crowd is an awful look.

    SAD

    Gaethje is going to have a bad time if he thinks he can defend punches with his face for very long. Johnson is the easiest featherweight to break, and he barely managed to. Great fight though. Updated FOTY list http://spicybangers.tk

    Easy fight of the year. Gaethje said he wants Ferguson, which is probably the best fight you could make in MMA right now in terms of excitement. But I think I'd go with Barboza, because its gonna be Ferg/Khabib for Interim Belt. MJ beat Barboza and was able to stay away from his leg kicks but Gaethje would come right after him and probably take him out a lot easier imo.
