Excited about an upcoming fight? Want to make predictions, or just give people a heads-up that there are some fights on? We can do it here.

(Also a good place to complain, dicuss, and agrue about the outcomes)

Dana and Lorenzo Fertitta are flying out to LA to meet with Conor McGregor tonight.

That seems rather important. The last time Lorenzo flew out to meet with a fighter was when they suspended Jon Jones.

I'm guessing they are going to tell Conor that he needs to fight at UFC 202 or be stripped.

Apparently in an interview with British media, Bisping said he thinks he'll need to go for a quick finish, because he won't be in shape for a long 5 round war with just 3 weeks notice. He also said that he'll need to go on an extreme diet to make the weight.

Mighty Mouse vs. Wilson Reis will be the co-main of UFC 201. Also Cyborg vs Germaine de Radamie

edit: sounds like the Cyborg fight is off. She is, oddly, insisting that her next fight must be to defend her flyweight Invicta title, a fight and a promotion that almost no one gives a damn about and which will bring her basically no money.

and after that, the TUF 24 winner.

I think the best theory here is that Mighty Mouse really wants to break the title defense record, so the UFC is going to hurry up and let him do that ASAP, then have him go for the bantamweight championship.

lol, that idiot Mayhem Miller missed weight for Venator 3 by 24 pounds. He weighed in at 209 for a Middleweight fight. Not surprisingly their middleweight champ refused to defend his belt against a heavyweight and the fight was called off.

Gonna look forward to seeing that idiot get humbled. I enjoy watching Conor fight, but this is getting out of hand. Nate Diaz is going to KO Conor again, then he'll probably decide not to cut to 145, and when Conor dives into the shark tank that is the lightweight division, he'll win some, lose some, and probably fall down to "pretty good standup fighter, might win the title someday, but can't really grapple" status.

This whole ship goes down without you? Bullshit, the UFC is going to find new stars, new draws. Sometimes it takes a while and they go into a lull, but they always find the next compelling fighter.

BJ Penn is out of 199 because he is an idiot.

Also, because he thought the IV ban only applied to rehydrating after weigh-ins. During a random OOC test, on a questionnaire USADA asked him if he used IV's, and he said yes. I assume he won't get the full 2 years, but he's suspended.

199 isn't a strong card but BJ being put on the shelf doesn't really matter to me.

Nate Diaz is apparently giving an epic interview on Ariel Helwani's show. I'll have to listen to it when I get home.

From what I'm seeing on twitter, Nate wants a lot of money to fight Conor at 202, even more than he would have gotten at UFC 200, and he's verbally lighting Conor up.

edit: So much hype on twitter

This is peak Nate Diaz. These are the moments we live for. Savor it. Soak it in.

This is honestly one of the all-time great MMA interviews.

Diaz says a big payday for the McGregor rematch will be a reimbursement for all the money he should’ve made in the past.
