UFC wants to blow up the Cormier/Lesnar fight and put Jon Jones against Lesnar instead. If Cormier wins the Lewis fight, then they'll have him fight a bear in December.

They do realize they can just have Jones and Lesnar fight for contendership to Cormiers title, right?

Are you under the impression that Lesnar would make championship weight at LHW? Because in case you missed it Cormier didn't sound too interested in going back to LHW.

I think Lesnar wants to fight for the HW championship, I don't think he's interested in a title eliminator.

Maybe. I think he's most interested in $$$. Fighting both Jones and potentially Cormier lines his pockets quite nicely.

I dont think he needs his dance partner to help him sell PPV buys. If he fought the Black Beast, it would still make a crazy amount of money. I do agree he likes money, but he's also starting to get into legacy here, and I think he wants to be able to triumphantly return to the wrestling ring as a conquering hero, showing off his belt on a wrestling PPV for the masses.

DC: "My hand and wrist are so messed up, there's no way I could fight in December, maybe 2019."

Dana White: "How about a shitton of money and a really easy opponent?"

DC: "I'M HEALED!!! It is a MIRACLE!!!!"

LMAO

.....yes? I'm not wrong....but please carry on and continue to add nothing to the conversation.

****....Poirier pulled out of the Diaz fight with an undisclosed injury.

He's literally the biggest white trailer park trash idiot on this site. Rumor is his dad ****ed a pit bull and the pit bull had him. So good luck getting any answers out of him

They already shot the angle for Cormier vs Lesnar. If they pulled Cormier, a 2 division champ, from the fight no reason, then they would kill any credibility that both divisions have.

Uhh... Poirier vs Diaz is now off.

If Ferguson comes in to "save the day" on the MSG card for the LW interim title against Diaz.... that'd just be perfect, right?

OK, thats just a little too freaky, I hope Poirier legit got injured and that he didn't get smacked on the knee by a mysterious UFC employee with a lead pipe.

Why doesn't Brock Lesnar just get roided up and fight everyone?
