Bisping got a 30-day medical suspension at UFC 217 but fights on November 25th?
Is this only possible because it's in China and they don't have a commission?

That was a great fight. It's a shame it ended the way it did, would have been a fight of the year contender if had a proper finish. What's with the talk of Pettis to Bellator, was that the last fight on his contract?

That Matt Brown elbow was disgusting. One of the most brutal kos I've ever seen. Just God damn.

We now live in a 2017 where Clay Guida and GSP have finished people in back to back weeks. This might be as unpredictable as the sport has ever been.

I know it was unintentional given their funky positioning, but was that Matt Brown hellbow not to the back of the head?

Might have a case for a NC.

The back of the head is only two inches wide according to the rules. It's the spine and an imaginary line if the spine extended around the skull all the way up to the forehead. Diego got hit more on the side of the head by the ears.

I'm a big fan of McGregor whenever he's in the octagon as a fighter, but him putting up money reasons to duck legit contenders is pissing me off. I mean, it's his right to push for the best deal, but at some point you have to defend the title to maintain the integrity of the sport. Vacate to chase after money fights or defend against the competition. Can't have both.

...I type a week after GSP defeated Michael Bisping for the middleweight title after four years of absence. I know I know.


But still!

That's what is so great about these new stars. They really know how to promote their fights and get people interested.
:lol

I'm in for Holloway vs Aldo. Do or die for Aldo, his last shot at the title most likely, or at least as long as Holloway is up there.

Oscar wanting that McG money, eh? Calling him out and saying he'll knock McG out in 2 rounds!

I don't think I want to see McG get his ass beat in boxing again. Keyword here is think.

BS, pretending as if there was any chance he would fight on the NYE card to show that they layed down some punishment for his actions.

And now they can just blame Conor for having a piss poor NYE card.

I saw an alert saying the ABC head claims ufc is pulling Conor from the nye show due to his actions at Bellator?

He was on the MMA Hour. He said the UFC called him a few hours after the event and told him they were not happy with Conor and that they were pulling him from that card.
I don't doubt they told him that but you have to presume they were bullshitting him to appease him.

He said he'll talk to his attorneys next Tuesday when he's back in the office to see what he can do. He said that if this had happened at the Mohegan Sun he'd suspend Conor until he came and talked about it with them and a fine and six months would be a likely outcome.

i'll save you guys the google

Spike is re-branding as Paramount Network, it's not a new streaming service or anything.

Curious how would you guys do the seeding in terms of best potential matchups?

Fedor/Mir
Mitrione/Country
King Mo/Bader
Rampage/Chael

Remember when the Strikeforce GP actually had good Heavyweights and not washed up cans or non-Heavyweights

Moneyweight for all.
185's, 205's, small heavyweights.
Mitrione is really happy right now.
(how many will fall out due to injury like last time?)
((also, why no Axe Murderer? Wanderley vs Fedor would be nice))

Uh Chael is not a heavyweight, he is going to get fucking smashed.

Fedor/Mir because that's the fight everyone wants and can't trust either to make it to rd 2.

Then I'd probably do it

Nelson/Sonnen
Mitrione/King Mo
Bader/Page

I'd set it at

Fedor/Chael
Mir/Mo

Bader/Nelson
Mitrione/Rampage

We need some fresh matchups and the thought of Chael somehow wrestlefucking Fedor would make my life complete. This is not a one night / 2-3 fight thing, right?

Nah, it'll happen over all of 2018 so whatever matchup you really want, hope it's in the first tier before your fave has a heart attack in the cage.
