Colin Cowherd said the same thing the other week. No actual MMA Journalist or anyone involved in the sport is saying it though.

Stipe Miocic vs Alistair Overeem will headline UFC 203 on September 10th in Cleveland.

Nice to have a guy who is willing and able to defend the HW belt for the first time in 5-6 years.

Overeem - Miocic will be great. Can't wait.

Also, my buddy is a pro MMA fighter and he just fought at XFO 58 this past weekend, he gave me his UFC Fight Pass information so I was able to watch on vacation (usually go to every fight). He won via triangle choke in the 1st round.
Cory Galloway is his name. He fights for Team Curran out of Crystal Lake, Illinois.

Been all up on Fight Pass ever since scoring his username and password too lol. Was up 'till 2am watching fights last night lol.

That soccer kick ouch

So weird watching MMA without those uniforms

Fabricio Werdum vs Ben Rothwell added to the UFC 203 Cleveland card.

 

May 29, 2016

Surprised they're going with that considering Rothwell is coming off a lose

 

May 29, 2016

Yea but Werdum was KO'd in the 1st by Miocic. JDS just had surgery so he wasn't an option.

 

May 29, 2016

Yeah I completely forgot about JDS's surgery, match-up makes more sense now

 

May 30, 2016

Andrei Arlovski vs Josh Barnett will headline the September 3rd FN event in Hamburg, Germany. Ryan Bader vs Ilir Latifi is also on the card.

 

May 30, 2016

Apparently Gus refused to fight a 5 round fight on the card, which is the reason he's not in the main event

 

May 30, 2016

Fair play to him tbh. How many 5 rounders has he been in recently (almost all of which went the distance)? Not like he's getting paid any extra for the 40%* extra risk/work/head trauma

*s--- my maths is wrong.. 66% extra?

Thought she was a slam dunk for MSG. Looks like Jones is gonna double dip with UFC 200 and the MSG card(against Rumble if he beats Glover and Jones beats DC).

 

Jun 2, 2016

IF she returns. Seems like there's a chance Ronda might retire to Hollywood earlier than expected.

That's 3 fights pretty close together for Jones. Depends how he makes it out of the Cormier fight but I guess it's not out of the question for him to fight 3 times after being off for a year.

 

Jun 2, 2016

Jones is from NY and the card is 4 months off from UFC 200. Plus McGregor is probably gonna fight in late August, which means he probably wont be on that card (although I wouldnt completely rule it out if Edgar beats Aldo because Frankie is a local guy). If it lines up we will probably get Jones vs Rumble, Tate/Holm 2 and maybe a 3rd Title fight. The UFC has been trying to get into NY forever and will prioritize this card more then UFC 200.

 

Jun 4, 2016

Wtf, I don't get how this is possible? Especially for next month's PPV lol..He's still under contract with WWE, can't be true.

Jun 4, 2016

I don't know either, but Helwani doesn't lie. There is still a chance the deal doesn't get done, but again Ariel has a proven track record for the news he breaks. Likely Zuffa will have to pay WWE to let him compete, or maybe Brock has a stipulation in his WWE contract to let him take a fight.

According to FRB Lesnar held out for more $$$ before Mania and added a UFC option as part of a compromise. He is also saying there will be an announcement tonight during the ppv

If it does happen, 200 is just a month away, has he been training much?

Wonder who he'd fight.

 

Jun 4, 2016

Some names I've seen thrown around are Mark Hunt and Shane Carwin
