It wasn't a total loss for Chael P. Sonnen. He did get a chocolate cake.

We only have the PFL this week for decent MMA on TV.
Saturday noon - (Fightpass) - Glory 60 Kickboxing 3pm - (Fightpass) - Cage Warriors 98 Top MMA B-League in Europe, this card is about average for them 6pm - (NBCSN) - PFL 2018 #10 Middleweight and Welterweight playoffs. 2:15am Sunday - (Fightpass) - Pancrase 300 Really, really bad MMA in the middle of the night

Luke Rockhold is out of UFC 230. Rumor is they might pull Jacare from his current fight and run Weidman vs Jacare.

There's nothing on fightpass, but the UFC returns this week from Canada. There is literally no other MMA other than foreign PPV's at odd times and streams of very small shows.
Friday nothing Saturday 7pm TV - (5:30pm Fightpass/7pm FS1) - UFC Fight Night, Volkan vs. Smith The prelims are not very good at all, so you may want to watch college football and wait until 9pm for the main card, which is pretty decent, at least about average. Its not that the main event is compelling (its not), but all 6 fights on the card fall into "huh, I've heard of that guy" or "oh, not bad". So we've got 6's and 7's for the whole thing instead of a bunch of crap followed by a great main event. Also, Conor's buddy (who would have been cut a LONG time ago if he was just some random russian) is in the co-main if you care.

UFC and ONE FC are close to completing the first "trade" in MMA history.
Cejudo also wants to move up to 135, so it looks like the UFC is going to shut down the flyweight division.

At least the Ben Askren fans can stop whining now about how he's really the best welterweight in the world. We'll find out.

ONE FC has also signed Eddie Alvarez. So, maybe they are trying to break into the US market? That will be hard because the time zone difference is rough.

This looks like a win-win-win-win for all 4 sides.
Askren had retired and flat-out said he wouldn't fight again unless he was in the UFC. DJ is gonna get PAID if he wins the ONE title, they like smaller fighters in Asia and ONE will promote him. The UFC wanted to close the Flyweight division for a while, and they now have a new highly-anticipated WW contender. ONE gets rid of the malcontent who didn't want to fight for them anymore and gets a new star they can build around. edit: DJ's coach is apparently a VP at ONE FC.

Can I Askren drop to 155?
I would pay ANYTHING to see him vs Khabib.
