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.

Current OR veterans

Its going to be Jon Fitch and :ortiz:

lol the best part so far is that in jon's version of events he went to dinner with his training partner, got talking about boner pills, and took one on the spot as if he were going to gently caress his teammate.

Cocky is for people who haven't proven time and time again there's no one in their division on the planet who can touch them. Claudia with all her vaunted grappling couldn't keep the fight on the ground and then gassed hard and got tore up.

Watch KK's last fight and tell me you came away from it with any other realisation than "both of these ladies would get taken to the woodshed by Joanna Violence".

If it wasn't for Holly Holm, both before and since the fight, this would still hold true.

I think he's the one fighter whose exact second of athletic and competitive peak is distinctly identifiable - it was spent riding Mighty Mouse's back and flexing at the crowd on the way to a draw in Australia. He has been all downhill from there.

As it retreats farther into hindsight and the division's early history, that moment seems stranger and stranger.

Ian was the best wrestler at Fly but also had the worst head on the planet. To beat Mouse has always required top tier wrestling, both him and Dom had it, but Dom is the most stable man on no legs whereas Ian had his psycho ex.

Yeah that makes no sense, especially since Pettis has a whopping one win at FW (and is 1-3 in his last 4), why make 145 more of a clusterfuck than it already is? If Aldo beats Frankie and then Holloway/Pettis back to back, I see no reason not to make him the Undisputed champ.

Two interim champions in the same division in the same organisation is a bigger clusterfuck and approaches boxing level of belt fuckery.
