That means that for the first time in Fight Pass' brief history, a title will be defended on a FP card. That's the show in Berlin, btw.

Last time was the ACL, this time it's the meniscus. Khabib told me he hopes to be back in October. Freak injury while sparring, a tweak.
“@CKERRY94: @arielhelwani Bader vs teixera 2” seems to be the overwhelming consensus pick. timing works and there's a good backstory, IMO.
Of course he did, and that's on the coaches over at AKA. The interesting this is, this comes only weeks after White said AKA gym is stuck in the stone age as far as training goes. At this point, I'm not expecting Velasquez to make it to his fight vs Werdum.Quote:

I don't want to see Bader/Teixeira 2. The problem is the LHW division is pretty thin on talent right now. Most of the fights available for Bader are rematches and the ones he hasn't fought are injured. You add Jones' problems and the division is a mess.Quote:

AKA is on blast right now.. Doubt they change anything though.
I'm not holding my breath either on Cain making the fight.
I like the rematch for Bader but not for Glover. If Bader wins he might get a shot at the winner of Rumble vs DC. If Glover wins it's not really doing anything for him.
Thats crazy to think Bader could be that close. He seems to not be able to win the big matchup and he now might be a fight away.Quote:

That's weird tbh. Why wouldn't he want a rematch?
He is on a 4 fight win streak and Tex has lost two straight. I think its more that Bader stylistically doesnt like this fight and would rather sit and hope he is next in line with his resume.Quote:

Yea I am glad I went to a party last night to watch it. I would have been mad if I payed for that at my place. It was an average fight, Pac being aggressive 90% of the time but couldnt land anything. Once Mayweather fights his last fight, boxing is about done.Quote:

I highly doubt that he never fights again but if he were to hang it up this point I could understand why. He hasnt handled the spot light well at all and if stepping away gets his life back on track then I hope the best for him.
He will be back for sure because he probably blew through his money
I doubt all his money is gone but I doubt he wants to walk away from whats left on the table.Quote:

I like this fight
Yea and I like them coaching against each other. Barnett fighting in Japan should get huge ratings. Now bring back the ring!Quote:

Not sure lyoto will make his way back up for another chance to challenge. I know he got beat down by Luke but it liked it was from slipping, not saying that he should have been able to stand back up but still
The new Nevada drug penalties are even more severe than initially thought. Here's the new list: http://t.co/0ksBGDIvXY
B. Henderson was forced to withdraw from his fight vs M. Johnson, the new main event for TUF 21 is Ellenberger vs Thompson.
I like it but I really hope some of these fighters think twice about trying to bend the rules or using drugs. A lot of these suspensions are long and if your a repeat offender on any tier, you can pretty much say goodbye to your career.Quote:

:clap: Why even strip him of the belt then? If he doesnt have to at least fight a top contender before a title shot then it means nothing to strip him of the belt in the first place. Unless he is getting some lengthy jail time of course.Quote:

JDS can take a beating like no other but it would have been best for him to lose easier in those Cain fights.
JDS seems like a great guy. I agree with you about those fights. That is why I really wish he would retire.Quote:

Though after watching his last fight he's doesn't get off the clinch very well anymore, he almost welcomes getting hit to (he thinks?) tire out his opponent. I want to see his fight more but that's me being selfish. I'm almost positive he will fight again. JDS vs Reem is a fight I would like to see
I'm concerned about the long term effects of the blows JDS and Roy Nelson have been absorbing.Quote:

Reporter asks if White, Fertitta, Epstein, Rogan etc will also be tested same way. White and Fertitta say they are willing to be tested, NP.
I doubt they will get tested, I honestly don't see why they should but lol of they fail. Should through Rogan in the boat also
BREAKING: Daniel Cormier vs. Alexander Gustafsson will be the next UFC light heavyweight title fight. Date and venue TBD.
I rewatched Brocks last fight (vs Overreem). Brock did not look like himself at all. He showed no power in his few takedown attempts. He never did his normal frieght train double leg take down. and looked afraid to get hit even in the first minute of the fight. I wonder if Brock just came back way too soon. If he took more time to heal before coming back could he have been a real threat again?
Yeah it really sucks he got I'll.. What couldn't been. Just imagine if he went into MMA instead of WWFQuote:
