Tito set the bar for feuding with Dana calling the UFC as much as slave drivers. As much as I've hated Tito I've really grown to like him and what he was trying to do. His attitude made him look like the bad guy but his intent was righteous.

I'm taking Stipe over DC solely on the fact he dunked on DC during embedded and made DC look very small and he's also a D1 wrestler.

I think Werdum is the obvious "next in line"

DC moving up tells me that the UFC needs some plot material to keep making money, who would pay for Werdum/Miocic?
(how about Werdum vs Francis, R1 submission assuming Werdum doesn't get his head sent into orbit)

TJ vs DJ + Rose * Joanna + DC vs Stipe, that will be an amazing fight card and months to build it up. I'm trippin' don't forget about Cyborg * Lioness, man a card of champions, that would be insaaaaaaane.

Ok scratch that, put Rose an Joanna on another card, it doesn't fit the form of champ vs champ and we need some buffer fights up to July.

I hope McGregor goes to the WWE where he belongs. Probably the most over hyped fighter in the history of combat sports. 2-2 in his last 4 fights and still in the top of end of the p4p list, blatant nut hugging douchebaggery at work.

Is there anyway Machida doesn't get ko'd tonight?

Having McGregor around makes a good punching bag for Floyd, i wish they'd sign a 6 fight boxing/~mma/mma rules contract over the next 2-3 years. I really like watching Floyd.

I don't think he would be any competition in mma, not at the ufc level. Mighty mouse offered him a fight with no ground fighting at all. I'd pay to watch that fight, I'm pretty sure i know how it would end though. Ray Mercer did KO Tim Sylvia so anything could happen. McGregor is getting to obnoxious to even watch him get his ass kicked at this point.

I've read a few things that suggest Bones Jones could be back by the end of the year. Imagine he comes back and fights DC for the HW strap.

That's a best case scenario for the UFC, get rid of problem HW champ and make the money money fight.
imo there's noone at Floyd's weight that can hang in the standup, he is better at dirty boxing than most fighters in mma and the most elusive fighter we've ever seen. Big question is can he hit someone with tiny gloves/bare handed without buckling from busted bones.

Good point and that phily shell don't work as well with Mma gloves.
This is such pseudo science... when have you seen this for some example?
It's all shoulder rolls and head movement, waste swiveling and not being where the guy's punches are landing. Hiding that chin behind that shoulder... here's some highlights on what defense looks like...you'll notice he isn't catching punches like he's holding mits like many profess that the phily shell somehow is using large gloves to defend punches.,...

...no... just no....

Anyone see
Shevchenko-Cachoeira? I heard shev had a tight crucifix and had to switch to RN choke cuz Yamasaki was content letting cach die in the ring. Have to watch it for myself later apparently Dana was pissed. Strikes landed were 230-3
100% fact, could have been ended in Round 1, I am sure i was hearing cries from the audience and even Valentina at some point her body language was like "really, you want me to kill this girl?"

How that fight was ever commissioned as I think it was Cachoeira first time in a UFC cage vs the Bullet, c'mon UFC. The girl might have a streak of wins but Valentina is the #1 contender (she's the champ if she isn't gun shy and fights Lioness like that, she wins imo) that girl had no business in there with Bullet.

You think he's checking leg kicks or blocking head kicks? Elbows or knees in a clinch? Even just being backed into a cage would cause him problems, you can't lean back slipping punches against a fence your head has no place to go.

The ref needs to be removed from the sport. That was a beating that should've been stopped waaaay earlier. The people working her corner should be ashamed of themselves, stopping the fight is part of their job and they failed badly. The cage side doctors could've and should've stopped it too.

Strictly talking 4oz gloves and hands in an octagon Floyd walks Conor down and wrecks him, Floyd isn't going to fight him if there's a chance of kicking do you think?
