Are you fucking kidding me??? So there is no news, just some bullshit about how Jones will return eventually. Okay, we knew this.

Brother of Cub, flyweight Steve Swanson (13-2) picked up another stoppage win this month. He's now won 3 straight. Time for the big leagues?
Should be added that Minakov knocked the guy out in 20 seconds.
Bellator HW Champion Vitaly Minakov (15-0) won this weekend by KO in Russia NOT for Bellator. Risky for him and Bellator.
What do you guys think Rousey vs. Cyborg would do on PPV? I've got 1.5-2M.
That Rousey fight was unbelievably big. UFC on a roll with those last 2 PPV events.
Bigfoot needs out of this business. Last 4 fights he has taken unspeakable punishment from Velasquez, Hunt, Arlovski and Mir.
Shogun vs. Lil Nog is sad because the winner will get thrown back to the wolves to be slain :(
Maia vs. Magny....very excited for this fight. Think Magny is overmatched though. He has came along way since TUF though.
UFC sells so many wolf tickets for these Rousey fights.
Just scheduled my next fight. Should be announced tonight!!!!!

I got the Headbussa.
6-7 years ago how fucking crazy would it be if someone told us that Thiago Alves is going to Lightweight and Anthony Johnson is the #2 LHW?
Arlovski vs. Mir and Overeem vs. JDS....lets do Miocic vs. Rothwell maybe? Then have winners from Nelson/Barnett & Bigfoot/Palelei fight?
What I want to see: Werdum vs. Fedor II. What do you think? I know not everyone will and I understand that. But damn it'd be cool, right?!

Wandy getting sued, time to put up or shut up. Either he has proof and shits about to go down or he ran his mouth and now its time to pay

Former UFC LHW Igor Pokrajac won by 1st round KO yesterday in Montenegro. He has gone 2-0 since being cut after a 4-7 (1 NC) run in the UFC.
Please dont explain to me how many cans Neves fought lol I know. Still, going 2-1 in Bellator, losing to a prospect from Alliance means cut?
Anyone know why Julio Cesar Neves (30-1) was released from Bellator? Yes he padded his record, but just KO'd Poppies Martinez in September.

Marvin Eastman wants Kimbo. Talk about a guy UFC must have hated. First 2 fights in the UFC? Prime Vitor Belfort and Prime Rampage Jackson.
Shocking how much WW talent is outside the UFC...former/current top 10 guys:. Askren, Shields, Palhares, Fitch, Daley, Koscheck.
What a disgrace. I just realized the UFC paid Todd Duffee 12K for his fight vs. Mir.
WSOF has an interesting lineup. Last 2 fights are Silva vs. Kyle then Shields vs. Palhares. Not to mention Nurmagomedov's brothers US debut.
My lord, if you are a fan of violence please do not miss Thiago Silva vs. Mike Kyle next weekend in WSOF. Someone will go down.
HW prospect Denis Goltsov (15-4) won this weekend by TKO. Could be UFC bound. Has wins over Brett Rogers, James McSweeney, and Peter Graham.
UFC/TUF 10 veteran James McSweeney (14-13) was KO'd this weekend in Russia. He had not fought in a year in a half. Has now lost 2 straight.
Super HW Pride veteran Hong Man Choi (2-4) was KO'd in the first round this weekend. This fight was his first following a 6 year hiatus.
Middleweight UFC veteran Riki Fukuda (23-7) won this weekend via TKO. He has gone 4-0 (1 NC) since being cut following a 2-3 run in the UFC.
Featherweight UFC veteran Caol Uno (32-18) lost this weekend by TKO. Following a 6-0 run in 2013-2014, he has now went 0-2 in 2015.
Regional MMA rundown coming up.
Pumped for this fight. Should be good!
Villante will always be known as the dude who was in a war with Chad Griggs in the Strikeforce HW Tourney days.
I want to fight , or . All would be great fights.
Who trains with you doesn't mean shit to me. You gotta get in there by yourself dawg. Quit trying to feed off your teammates.

How did you guys score Saunders vs. Robertson?
I'm gonna say Jim Miller wins next. But let's be honest, they're both shot. They should double retire after the fight.

Loved the fight. Not the decision. I had 29-28 Robertson. Rogan annoys me when 10th Planet guys are fighting. Only sees what he wants.
For all my friends on here, you guys should check out rankingmma.com I don't know the guy who runs it, good stuff though.
Saunders might beat Robertson, but have to go with him since he graduated the same small university I'm about to be a senior at.
