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)

Cowboy asking for a fight in 2 weeks because of course he would. Dana shaking his head no, slow down

**alnorth** · 12-10-2016, 11:16 PM

main event could be dogshit, and this would still be a terrific ppv

I think Cub wins this 29-28 but God Damn this Korean Kid has heart.

That fight was epic, it will go down as one of the all time greats. Choi is a beast and Swanson just put on the best performance of his career.

Great fight, though.

Goldberg is a goof, Joe was immediately correcting him. It really is annoying to hear Goldberg talk about fighters families or training partners or some other such shit while there is action in the ring he's missing. Rogan cuts him off all the time and seems to get annoyed.

Yeah. I feel like Joe was more brutal with Goldy during this card than any other. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that a decision has been rendered by the UFC regarding Goldberg's status and Joe knows that he can't really do any more damage to Mike by pointing out his silliness at this point. It definitely felt different on Saturday.

He's been very forgiving with Goldberg in the past, trying to not make him look bad. Judging by what Joe has said during his podcast in the past, he's a huge fan of Goldberg as a human being.

Then again, this could all just be in my head.

That could also be a producer in his ear telling him to get that shit into the broadcast.

The UFC is opening up the women's FW division. Cyborg had first shot but she turned it down saying she needed more time to recover.

Interesting fights this weekend

Friday

8pm - (Spike) - Bellator 169, King Mo vs Ishii? Eh, if I remember I might turn it on, but King Mo is usually not entertaining to watch. Haven't heard of anyone else on the card.

Saturday

2:30pm - (Fightpass/4pm FS1/7pm FOX) - UFC on FOX. Its not an epic card or anything, but its a really fun main card with some interesting fights. The UFC's golden boy and golden girl who they are trying to groom are stepping up to slightly tougher competition, and Urijah's last fight before he retires should be good.

Sunday

midnight - (Fightpass) - Pancrase 283, couple hours after UFC on FOX ends. Pancrase is cool, they usually have a few good prospects and some KO's, you just have to stay up to an ungodly hour to see the card.

**alnorth** · 12-17-2016, 07:08 PM

Main card starting now on FOX. All 4 fights are interesting for various reasons.

BREAKING: Verbal agreements in place for Mark Hunt vs. Alistair Overeem at UFC 209 on March 4 in Las Vegas, per UFC.

Really glad they figured something out, Hunt is a good guy, and this is going to be a great fight. I assume the UFC did right by him by quietly paying him a lot of money, because Hunt was royally pissed to the point where people weren't sure if he'd ever fight again.

**SAUTO** · 12-20-2016, 09:05 PM

He was always gonna fight again

**alnorth** · 12-21-2016, 11:46 AM

Reminder, after UFC 207 is over, we're going to Stockton rules in 2017. This is pretty good:

Cowboy got his Denver turn around. He's fighting Masvidal. I hate Masvidal, but he's a really tough out.

So Mark Hunt was pissed about Brock juicing so he takes Overeem the juicer for his next fight?
