Dana may not have been thrilled when he read Holly said she would fight Cyborg at a higher weight. Looks like Holly may be friends with Cyborg. I really like Holly. She seems to be so appreciative of her fans.Quote:

As of yet UFC has not officially announced it.
If they happen those will be two great fights. I am kind of surprised they are letting Holm fight. Good for her for sticking to her guns on wanting to stay active. Why should a champ have to wait for a challenger?

Ronda Rousey wants more time off, will not fight at UFC 200 in July
Ronda Rousey, the former UFC women's bantamweight champion who fought three times in just under nine months in 2015, won't be quite as active in the Octagon this year.
UFC president Dana White told Yahoo Sports on Tuesday that Rousey has asked for more time off and that she won't fight, as planned, at UFC 200 in July. Rousey is set to star in the remake of "Roadhouse," and the start of filming has been pushed back, White said.
As a result, she asked him for more time off before returning to the Octagon for the first time since she lost her title and perfect record to Holly Holm on Nov. 14.
"The filming of the movie got pushed back," White said. "She could do both, but the question is, should she do both? She could do both, but why should she? The filming is in a time frame where she'd finish before 200, but it would be cutting it too close."
White said that was the reason that he agreed to allow Holm to make a title defense, scheduled for March 5 at UFC 197 against Miesha Tate, instead of making her wait until Rousey was ready. Holm and manager Lenny Fresquez had been pushing for an interim fight from the time it became apparent White was targeting the rematch for UFC 200.
She didn't want to wait that long in order to fight. When Rousey said she was in need of more time to fulfill her other obligations, White said he never hesitated.
The only risk is if Tate beats Holm, because then the Rousey-Holm rematch will be worth far less. But White said it was a risk he was willing to take.
No fighter, White said, has done more for the UFC than Rousey and so he has no problem with her taking all the time she needs. He said he's not sure when she will fight again.
"The way I look at this one is, Ronda has worked her *** off for us for the last three years," White said. "She's been fighting, promoting and building the sport. If anyone deserves the time off, it's her. The night [of UFC 193] Holly said she'd do the rematch and that Ronda deserved it and everything else. So we were holding it for her if she wanted to do it.
"What that woman has done is above and beyond what anyone has done. I mean, it's just unbelievable what she's done in the last three years. Anything we needed, she didn't say no to anything; said no to nothing. She even took over responsibilities somebody else was supposed to have. So when she tells me she wants more time, you know what? She's got it."
She is not in it anymore, we might not see her fight again. Dana can keep talking about movies but lets be honest, Ronda got shutdown and went into an emotional shell in the cage. She was broken before the second round. Maybe if Tate wins the title she comes back.Quote:

I hope she fights again because I would like to see her get ktfo again.
Ronda did a interview this week. The interviewer was told he can not ask about fighting and that if he asked about fighting Ronda would walk out of the interview.
Lol so much for a interview that people give a crap about
Ronda got what she deserved, was happy to see holm put that ***** in her place. Then like a coward walks away, then two months later she finally congratulates her... Pr stunt. Gonna be nice when someone does the same to mcgregor
I dont get why people always hate on the outgoing athletes, in all sports. I love seeing stuff like Mac vs Diaz press conference. It's a fight, they should be talking ****.
Anyone watch the lower level mma? Last night I watched a bit of Titan FC and RFA. Titan had a good main event
I try and catch WSOF and used to watch NAAFS when they were around but I havent even seen anything from them lately. I got to see Stipe Miocic start his career there and same with Jessica Eye. I dont have the channels to see anything else though.Quote:

I'll be watching.
Also, for the other mma events I just search up a stream. Super easy to find on reddit or just google.
I loved seeing Nate bring CM back down to earth. Id still like to see CM vs RDA though.
I agree it was nice but Conor lost some luster IMO. I will watch a Frankie or Aldo or even RDA if they still want too go down that road but I dont feel like I have that need to watch him anymore because its over.Quote:

He was winning the Diaz fight and made a crucial mistake on the ground that ended up costing him the fight and the aura of invincibility, which was completely unrealistic in the first place. He'll be back...
