he's announcing the main event. how many fights has he done that? seems like it could be a bit of a distraction to the guys actually fighting

You think he's announcing the fight to distract Jones or OVP?

Why don't you just come out and say what you really mean? Why do you keep beating around the bush like this?

i think its pretty obvious. You have another reason he'd decide to announce his first and only fight that just happens to be jones vs osp? If you have a logical reason i'd love to hear it, especially considering he had to pull out because of injury. C'mon man really. that doesn't seem odd to you?

On another note i hope rashad evans hangs em up. He does well on the ufc shows he could do that.

Because $$$ is why, and the UFC knows it. It's just an addition to the card. DC is guaranteed to fight one of these guys in the future, the question I would have for you is why wouldn't you want DC to commentate? Are you telling me you wouldn't want Edgar to commentate Diaz v. McGregor 2?? What? That doesn't make any sense to me. Everybody would want to hear that, same thing with DC commentating this fight. I wish they did that a lot more often, brought on a 3rd guy to commentate the fight with Rogan and Goldberg like they used to with Randy Couture and Frank Shamrock. Since DC is out already, might as well get him to call the fight, plus he's done a ton of work outside the octagon for the UFC already, so they know he's comfortable with a mic and can speak well enough for the job.

That's all it is. He's legitimately injured, he's never called out of a fight his entire career before, and he had a full training camp up until the injury, there's no reason a guy like that would call out of a fight unless he 100% absolutely had to. I'm sure, deep down, he really want's to beat the shit out of Jones, they actually don't like each other, that's not just on camera.

Any one up...who wants to make some bets on the rest of the card....for the main event the smart money is on g.t.....but ol suga can sit anyone down with that right hand...Rashad has good wrestling but I think glover still needs to get inside and dirty box...then take it to the ground unless he is dominating the stand up....I say 85% chance g.t....that lingering 15% is if Rashad blasts him early

Bored and cruising around. Whats goin' on in here? Any good fights coming up?

Oh fuck yes! Right now is the absolute best time to be a fight fan!

Tons of good fights are coming up!

UFC 197 is on Saturday, the original fight was Daniel Cormier v. Jon Jones after Jones has been out for like 10 months on suspension over legal issues, he was previously the top P4P fighter on the roster. Cormier got injured so they threw in this guy Ovince Saint Preux who was like the 4th or 5th guy lined up, so kind of mid-tier. Jones is probably going to win/dominate that fight.

Same card, Demetrius Johnson v. Henry Cejudo, one of the best guys in the UFC, been champion of the flyweight division for like 3 years, hasn't lost since 2011 v. an olympic level wrestler on a pretty good rise up the ladder, that should be a good fight. I expect DJ to win, that guy is probably one of the best fighters in the UFC imo, I don't think Cejudo will be able to grab onto him or take him down very much.

Next card on May, 8 we have Andre Arlovski v. Alistair Overeem, that'll probably be a pretty good heavyweight fight with a lot of action

Then we've got the heavyweight champion Fabricio Werdum defending the title against number one contender Stipe Miocic on May, 14. That'll be awesome, I think Stipe will win by KO

Same card, Ronaldo Souza v. Vitor Belfort, Anderson Silva v. Uriah Hall, Matt Browne v. Demian Maia, that card is pretty stacked!

Jeremy Stephens v. Renan Barao on May, 29 is going to be fireworks, you'll want to tune into that one for sure!

Luke Rockhold defending the middleweight championship against former champ Chris "The Chris" Weidman on June, 4. That'll probably be another beatdown by Rockhold, gonna have to see that one!

Dominick Cruz defending the bantamweight championship against arch rival, Urijah Faber on the same card is one I've been looking forward to for a while

Stephen Thompson v. Rory MacDonald on June, 18 is going to be another interesting fight. Both are awesome fighters, Thompson has a really technical karate background and has great kicks and speed, Rory is almost like a human terminator, I don't expect that one to go to decision

Lightweight champion Rafael Dos Anjos defends his title against Eddie Alvarez on July, 7

Joanna Jędrzejczyk v. Cláudia Gadelha July, 8

and ending out the weekend, the rematch between Nate Diaz and Connor McGregor on July, 9!

Along with Jose Aldo v. Frankie Edgar to see who fights Connor for the featherweight title next! Every fight on that card is absolutely stacked! Nothing but killers! I can't wait!

Excited to see this one. I enjoy watching the heavyweight stuff. I see some new names, and some others I remember from way back. I finally got my satellite TV back up and running again. Stoked to be watching. Hope you don't mind me poking around in here.

Thank you again for that gnarly re-cap!
