    Forgot to mention the UFC announced the full televised portion of the May 29th FN card, on the broadcast Saturday night. Originally it was rumored for Brazil, but its actually gonna be in Vegas. It makes sense when you consider they've done Memorial weekend Vegas PPV's forever and with UFC 200 they had to drop a PPV.

    Thomas Almeida vs. Cody Garbrandt
    Renan Barao vs. Jeremy Stephens
    Tarec Saffiedine vs. Rick Story
    Chris Camozzi vs. Vitor Miranda
    Jorge Masvidal vs. Lorenz Larkin
    Josh Burkman vs. Paul Felder

    Abel Trujillo vs. Diego Ferreira
    Erik Koch vs. Joe Proctor
    Jake Collier vs. Keith Berish
    Chris de la Rocha vs. Adam Milstead

    Diego Brandao tests positive for weed at UFC 195 and has been suspended. Ridiculous they even test for weed, but under the new policy it likes like he may get 18 months.

    Also Romero has officially been suspended and he will appeal.

    Also Ariel Helwani has stepped down from his UFC on Fox job and will be working exclusively at MMAfighting.com

    Some people on Reddit are saying he's going to ESPN, but their only evidence on that is the fact that him and an ESPN producer recently followed each other on Twitter

    Hector Lombard is going back to 185. Said the IV ban f----- with his gas tank.

    Lombard vs Machida/Hendo winner would be pretty dope.

    Cyborg will fight Leslie Smith at UFC 198 @ 140 LBS. Kinda weird, Smith is a former 125er although she is very tall.

    Card is fucken stupid lol. I dont know how UFC 200 beats this. Although with NY now i think focus might be shifting towards stacking that one in November. We'll see though UFC 200 and the July 7th/8th Vegas cards should be getting announced this week.

    Fabricio Werdum vs Stipe Miocic
    Ronaldo Souza vs Vitor Belfort
    Anderson Silva vs Uriah Hall
    Matt Brown vs Demian Maia
    Shogun Rua vs Corey Anderson

    Cristiane "Cyborg" Justino vs Leslie Smith
    Patrick Cummins vs Antonio Rogerio Nogueira
    Nate Marquardt vs Thiago Santos
    John Lineker vs Rob Font
    Francisco Trinaldo vs Yancy Medeiros
    Warlley Alves vs Bryan Barberena
    Sergio Moraes vs Kamaru Usman
    Renato Moicano vs Zubaira Tukhugov

    Eh, I'd rather watch Jacare. He's a top 3 grappler in the sport. Romero is out fair and square so that's not really an issue.

    Did you miss Romero pissing hot orrrrrrrrrr?

    I honestly dont care that much for Jones/Dc 2, first fight was mediocre at best. 198 is one of the deepest cards maybe of all time and 197 is top heavy. I like the main card for 197 but after that its pretty bad.

    Jones/DC 1 had the best in-fighting in MMA history. Not exactly a snoozer.

    It was a boring fight. Two year build up and it didnt live up to the hype at all for me.

    Tom Breese vs Sean Strickland added to UFC 199 and Johnny Hendricks vs Kelvin Gastelum is being targeted for UFC 200.

    Kelvin kinda getting fed to Hendricks here, weird fight. Assume it will be a prelim though.

    Carla Esparza replaces Jessica Aguilar at UFC 197 and will fight Juliana Lima in her first fight since losing her belt to JJ last March.
