I just read the Gastelum/Woodley fight is still on, Kelvin just got fined 30% of his purse though.

I'm assuming that Woodley received assurances from Dana and the Fertittas that they would take care of him in the future if he lost. Woodley had a lot of leverage. He's got every right to decline the fight, and he knows the UFC badly wants it to continue.

Anyway they announced Kelvin vs Woodley is off, Woodley will step in to fight Thatch on Feb 14th. That sort of works out.

It would have been a great fight, but this is good too. 10 pounds is ridiculous, glad Kevin gets no money, maybe this will motivate him to eat more vegetables.

No.

The greatest moment in my life was realizing that I didn't need a belt to be happy.

It's on. The fill in for Thompson was what Daniel Cormier said in the middle of Woodley's 20 minutes to decide whether or not he would take the Gastelum fight. UFC is currently looking for a replacement for Thatch.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye

And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

It should be off if Ariel is correct and the reason he was 10lbs over was that he was sick all week, 175 last night but started vomiting at 5 am so he had to be hydrated in hospital. Kelvin is in no medical condition to fight, purse or no purse.

He was on track to make weight despite being sick all week, this is hardly Kelvin is Fat.

Sick or not sick Kelvin's toughest opponent is always going to be the scale and that's real sad because he's really fun to watch fight and seems like a pretty decent guy

If he was really at the hospital this morning he really shouldn't be fighting

Who fights hendricks then? Also matt brown isn't going to drop out of a fight with the top ranked former champion to fight a relatively unknown prospect. (A good, exciting one buy still.)

Why did I listen to FRB? Apparently the fight is actually still on after "extensive" negotiations and 30% fine that goes to Woodley.

Ian just said he gets 30% of Lineker's purse, so I dunno how much negotiation would have been required for that.

Yeah, there must be some more behind the scenes stuff. I got that from the mmajunkie article.

After extensive negotiations, the fight will go on as scheduled, though Gastelum was docked 30 percent of his pay, all of which is awarded to Woodley

if any of the reports are true Nick Diaz does not want to be there at all. Diaz can tune that poo poo out and 209 his way through a fight but Anderson should be winning before they even touch gloves.

I imagine by getting medical care early on Kelvin checks out with the doctors while the guys who try to ride it out end up unable to do so.

I feel like regardless of how diaz feels now once he's in the cage he's going to fight his heart out because that's just the way he is.

I understand people are on the Magny bandwagon, and I'm not saying they shouldn't be, but if you have Neil Magny headlining a FS1 show you're basically saying Neil Magny is UFC's guy. And I don't think they're ready to go there yet.
