The PFA has announced that they are making progress and will introduce an interim executive board of 9 current UFC fighters at UFC 205. Those 9 fighters are then going to go out along with the PFA staff and start trying to collect authorization cards from other fighters. They are estimating that they might have enough for a card count and vote in the spring.

RIP to the 9 fighters released post UFC 205.

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.

That thing Duncan said about Conor just getting kind of flustered and quiet whenever anyone talks to him about money.


Didn't he say he was done if he couldn't get a release?

That is the dumbest loving opinion I've ever heard about people going on welfare. gently caress Eddie for that.

Not a lot has been made of it but Conor just went through a 5 round war with Diaz 3 months ago and I'm curious if that will be affecting him more than anything. His layoffs recently between fights have been around 5-6 months.

Not sure why Conor would agree to a fight in Russia before he gets to defend a title in Ireland.

Maybe because if he helps open that market for them they'll give him equity.

Wtf how is Khalil Rountree still employed by the UFC? Just saw that he's booked for the November 27 show in Melbourne.

Didn't Dana describe his fight at the TUF finale as one of the worst he'd ever seen?

I think it was because it involved the winner taking down Khalil repeatedly and doing nothing with the position.

There's a good chance that he's been made up to look like hell and he's messing with us, because he was cast to be in a 6-episode Netflix series where he's a bad guy in a Western.

But its Cowboy, so maybe he did suffer a career-threatening injury.

I was thinking that did look a bit like make up. Not a ton of swelling on the right side of his face for what looks like a serious injury.
