All right then, UFC 230 is this weekend, and there's nothing else from any major promotion. So, as usual, we need to see if this is a top-heavy card or if its reasonably stacked...
Friday 6:30pm - (Fightpass) - Glory 61 Kickboxing Saturday 7pm TV - (5:15 pm Fightpass/7pm FS1/9pm PPV) - UFC 230, Cormier vs. Lewis OK then, so the main event is obviously very interesting. Cormier is going to be the heavy favorite and have a lot more cardio, and he'll definitely win if it gets to the championship rounds because the black beast gasses out horribly, but.... can he get that early shocking knockout?!? Maybe! Thats why we watch this stupid sport. Anyway, the rest of the main card is pretty good. Its not incredible, but it IS pretty good, of the other 4 fights, two of them are going to be very critical to the future of their weight classes. Then you look at the prelims and you think...... eh. Yuck. Actually, the prelims are really bad, even for a card where you think the UFC is top-loading it, the undercard is not great at all. They usually give you at least one good fight, but I do not care about any of these prelims at all, not even the feature prelim. So, the PPV is pretty good, but the prelims are crap. I'm an addicted fight fan so I'll watch all of this shit, but you should probably only think about watching the PPV and figure out something else to do with your free time before 9pm central. edit: in case its not clear, the other "good" fights in the PPV are the first fight and the co-main. The other two fights before the co-main are just whatever.

Do you think he could be tempted into another shot at Jon Jones after he gets his Brock $$$?

Pretty sweet fights on free TV this weekend. The UFC is making a big deal about their 25th anniversary in the city where they started, and they definitely delivered.
Friday 9pm - (Fightpass) - Friday Night Fights Muay Thai Saturday 7pm TV - (5:30pm Fightpass/7pm FS1) - UFC Fight Night, The Korean Zombie vs. Rodriguez The prelims are pretty good, and the last four fights on the main card are great. Hell, Cowboy is only the co-main. The Korean Zombie is finally back after almost 2 years following a bad injury, which was a real shame because he is very fun to watch. Yair Rodriguez will have the challenge on short notice of trying to kill this undead monster who walks right through chin shots like they were nothing.

The UFC is eliminating the entire Men's Flyweight division. Some will be given a chance to move up to 135, while the rest will be released.
