The UFC just updated Johnny Hendricks to Middleweight on their list of fighters.

I'm hoping Hendricks at 185 will be a good and fun thing.

Yeah I'd definitely prefer the "wants to be with me" type of obssessed fan over "wants to be me" type of obsessed fan if I was famous.

The ESPN guy is covering himself by saying he only reported that the UFC is "targeting" that fight for UFC 211, which he insists is still true.

He was too short to be fighting at 170. Matt Serra was even shorter.

The odds are against him finding success, but that success would be cool enough that I'm willing to hope for it.

If he hopes to succeed in the UFC from this point on he's going to have to bear down and push out a couple of wins.

You can't really "listen", but BjjScout does really awesome breakdown videos on YouTube, all subtitles so you don't have to hear an annoying voice.

Bjjscout amuses me because fighters they do breakdown videos on seem to start losing afterwards (Ronda and Cruz, for example).
Demian Maia is next on the chopping block and we'll see if this theory holds up.

I find it strange that people always wrote him off. I think that people didn't realise he was still so young.

It wasn't that. It's that he wasn't even particularly big for a welterweight and his first fight at middleweight was enormous flawed fighter Clint Hester. While he's improving due to his age, he's also much, much faster at middleweight.

This is true. I'm sad Cruz had to lose, but he lost by being on the wrong end of an absolutely virtuoso performance. Cody's cool cause he's that super talented, gifted prospect who makes that leap from 'could be good' to 'genuinely amazing fighter'

The worst tattoo in MMA will always be Alan Belcher's Johnny Cash tattoo

Incorrect. It will always be Melvin Costa's giant swastika. However, the best tattoo will always be Melvin Costa's belly tattoo that says 'I have a small penis' in a font that screams 'Hello, I've lost a bet. What is your least legible font?'

Even if she's not fighting in Dallas Andrade is the only sensible fight for her next. Carla Esparza is still ranked above Andrade bizarrely.

Carla is seeking to preserve her ranking in lucite by never fighting anyone ever again.

She's slated to fight Randa Markos this weekend! But yah, she's spent the last year ducking Gadelha and Andrade while complaining about not getting fights.

She's got TUF beef with Randa at least, so they have something to play up if they want.

In the interim, Randa's present ceiling has been shown to be a bit lower than the show indicated, so that probably factored into her decision.

The upside to Carla being ranked so high is there's a slight chance she'll get thrashed by Joanna again

Joanna vs. Carla is one of my favorite MMA beatdowns. Joe Rogan's increasing horror ("Oh man! Oh man!") as the fight goes on and the way the ref perfectly times his stoppage to catch Carla as she falls down are great.

Someone on here drew my attention to the one punch Carla manages to land. It doesn't faze Joanna in the slightest, and, if anything, lets her feel confident to beat the poo poo out of her with even more gusto.

Joanna loving owns.

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

Yeah there's always the tiniest grain of truth in things that he talks about, but then he runs it through a filter of seventeen tons of industrial-strength weed multiplied by Eddie Bravo and ends up with that poo poo.
