    Alexander Gustafsson vs Jan Blachowicz added to the Germany FN in September. Assume they will give Gus another gimme after he wins this one to ensure a 2nd Jones fight. Or if Glover beats Rumble he could be next, although that wouldn't line up with MSG.

    Also seeing rumors of Weidman/Rockhold 2 at MSG and Bisping vs Hendo 2 possibly in Manchester (lol)...

    Tom Hardy's boy won





    Still 4 more fights until Fedor/Maldonado, but these shows EFN shows are bizarre. Its like a concert/play/MMA show. They had a full orchestra playing Eye of the Tiger for a fighters walkout earlier which was cool.

    Yea Fedor probably isn't the best HW on the card, Minakov would probably wreck him.

    As far as the length its probably taken about an hour quicker to get through 15 fights then your normal UFC 12 fight card, its just filled with weird a--- plays and s--- instead of commercials.

    I could never watch this whole thing live, i've just paused it went about my day and came back to it fast forwarding through all the weird s---.

    That was fucken bizarre lol. Think Fedor had to die in the 1st for that to be stopped in Russia.

    Explains why that 1st round wasn't a 10-8





    The Russian commentator was unbelievable with the broken English.

    Anyone who is interested in more of the details of the UFC sale, check out Jeremy Botter's twitter. Apparently Dana would stay on and Lorenzo/Frank Fertitta would be gone.

    Seems like its a lock.

    Hype for the card tnite. I'll be at a wedding so I'm recording it. Turned notifications off on my phone so I won't know any outcomes.

    LOVE watching Rory fight. One of my favorites.
    Also pumped to see Cowboy.

    Should be fun, boys. Cheers.

    Thiago Santos (#14 MW) will replace Brunson. D1 Gegard probably gonna rear its ugly head. Believe that will be the Fight Pass headliner.

    Also Cody Garbrandt vs Takeya Mizugaki added to UFC 202. Surprised they didn't give Cody the spot on the Cleveland card.

    Rumble pulled out of the Glover fight with some personal issues and the UFC was looking for a replacement but now Glover is out with an injury. Card is a little light for a Fox card after Holm/Valentina and Barboza/Melendez.
