He's a wrestle elbow and kick man, really.

Karolina is going to win, I believe in her. She will have belt and cookies.
I would trade letting Tyron be champion forever if it meant KK wins so she is not sad because she is best.

Choose this life you're on your own
So Donald Trump may show up at UFC 205

Will he be cheered or booed out of the building, if he shows up?

E: Wait, New York went blue and I'm pretty sure NYC hates his rear end, so booed.

Honestly, I thought that people would make a Woodley-Evans comparison fast and never make a Woodley-Jones one.

fatherdog posted:

It's cool that Woodley had a few highlight reel KOs interspersed with a string of very boring fights, then he KOed a well-liked champion and now he's defending his title against a karate guy, on the same card that Rashad is making his return on.

Thiago Alves on the other hand weighed in at 162.5 pounds for his lightweight debut. Hearing that his fight might be off, which leaves one fight on the exclusive fight pass card.

Apparently NYSAC is saying Jim Miller has to weigh in within 5 pounds of Alves for the fight to go forward which means they're telling Miller to miss weight.

Gastelum is looking like he's about to miss weight by a large margin too, yep something like 8 pounds over.

So according to the laws of MMA, Cerrone is the new #1 contender under the clause that reads "if your opponent is a stubby wrestler who is too fat and can't poop you get to fight the champ"

e. also because he's an muay thai guy and the champ is going to be a karate man, he's probably going to lose a close split decision to Wonderboy next and then become champ on the rematch via 1st round KO. It is written.

Who makes the decision that the fight is completely off due to the weight cut instead of a percentage of the purse goes to the other fighter?

Weird, that's pretty advanced, though I guess NYSAC is no nascent commission. Is it a straight carryover from boxing?
