Excited about an upcoming fight? Want to make predictions, or just give people a heads-up that there are some fights on? We can do it here.

(Also a good place to complain, dicuss, and agrue about the outcomes)

If he would have been correct, it would have been huge, and he would have been considered the shadow champion, but you CAN NOT accuse your opponent of tapping out unless you are 100% ****ing sure of it. If you are wrong, you look like a douche, and the UFC could not let him go with saying that they had to go to the video in front of everyone.

If Overeem could take a punch, he'd be a devastating Heavy Weight.

Think Overeem got knocked out to hard.

Its moments like that which make Rogan invaluable. His replacements probably would not have had the balls to ask for the video and demand that Overeem defend his accusation right then and there, in front of the world like that. They would have awkwardly concluded the interview and left Dana White fuming and ready to yell impotently at the media that he was wrong. Rogan did the UFC a huge favor there.

Absolutely, they have no idea right now how much they will miss him.

CM Punk has a great attitude in the post-fight presser. He said his original plan was to start out in a lower-level local MMA promotion and work on his skills from there until he was ready for the show, but the UFC presented him with an offer that he just could not refuse. If he gets cut, he'll keep going.

**alnorth** · 09-10-2016, 11:25 PM

Listening to the press conference, wow. Mickey Gall is incredibly mature for his age, I'm more interested in what he can do.

**alnorth** · 09-11-2016, 06:58 PM

For those with Fightpass, EBI 8 starts soon

**alnorth** · 09-12-2016, 04:13 PM

Mighty Mouse will defend his belt against TBD on 12/3

He's not a natural heavyweight.

That's the problem.

"Smile'n" Sam Alvey is quietly trying to be another Cowboy. He just signed up for his 4th fight in 5 months, in Manila next month.

He couldn't take a punch at light heavyweight either. Shogun KO'd him twice, Arona KO'd him, Lil Nog was a corner stoppage I think, Chuck Liddell KO'd him.

If he strikes first, he's got a good chance. But if a strike lands on him, there's a good chance he's done.

I'm looking forward to the Poirer/Johnson fight this weekend. Both those guys bring it. On the other hand the Bisping/Hendo card is incredibly weak. I love Hendo but I won't buy that card just for that fight.

OSP vs Manuwa looks interesting, and hopefully they find a new opponent for Struve.

There aren't big names (other than Belfort lol), but a lot of those guys put up good fights

Depends on a fan's annual budget. For people who only pay for half the PPV's each year, yeah 204 is clearly a skip. I usually buy any PPV that I can sort of justify, and this barely gets there for me.

That's where I'm at. I buy most of them, this one doesn't do anything for me.
