I'm looking at the current roster at 170 for fighters that wouldn't hurt Cowboy badly and it's pretty dire. If he absolutely insists on continuing to fight, he's never fought Condit before. He could also fight Maia in a Loser And Winner Leaves Town match

He doesn't wanna fight at 170, the fight this weekend wasn't supposed to be at 170 either, he was ready to cut to 155 until Sanchez got replaced with Morono. Look for names at 155, or maybe even 145ers willing to go up to fight cowboy.

Maybe even someone unranked but I'm poo poo with names so without a list in front of me those fighters might as well not exist. There are others who make sense but I wouldn't wanna derail their own run for it, Evloev, Mitchell, Dawodu make sense to me but I think they all have things to do in their own weight class. I haven't taken in to account who's already booked or not for this. Brut fucked around with this message at 02:46 on May 10, 2021 |

Unfortunately I think everyone you mentioned is significantly better than Alex Morono (also Brendan Allen is 185, you may be thinking of Arnold) I think it's gotta be a retirement tour kinda fight. Cerrone/Miller 2 or Cerrone/Guida

They're better than Alex Morono but they also fight at 145, Morono's fought at 170 his entire career except for when he fought at 185. That being said, I like the options you suggested as well.

Bunch of those listed guys would kill cerrone at 155. (Lets not make the guy cut to 145 c'mon guys.) Is Joe Lauzon still fighting? p.s do you think cerrone will get fat as poo poo when he retires? actually condit probably perfect, both WEC guys.

Also I noticed just now that the UFC released a bunch of fighters in the last couple days. Notably Woodley is on the "recent releases" section on Wikipedia's active fighters list (which is more up-to-date usually than the official UFC page): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_current_UFC_fighters#Recent_releases

Cerrone sucks both inside and outside of the ring and I want to see him matched up with people with lead hands and feet to further punish his awful brain that is full of toxic opinions (yes I know it would be hard to find a fighter who isn't like Cerrone)

This is all likely to be fake, yet I hold out hope (black background = Dana, grey background = Diego's manager Joshua Fabia) Edit - This is in context of Fabia recently accusing Dana & Sean Shelby of having sex with female fighters which is a thing we've at least heard about Dana once a la Brendan Schaub insinuating that Dana hooked up with Ronda when she was a fighter, after Schaub and Ronda had broken up.

Dana simply made a bargain with the ghost of Whitey Bulger, trading his own soul for Diego's. That's not the same thing as sending an assassin. Also Hermansson/Shahbazyan is off 262 and the card is looking increasingly thin

The unbridled narcissism of Fabia has found the perfect sucker in Diego sadly. Like you can tell it's at the point that Diego believes all the poo poo Fabia says without question so much that Fabia now even believes his own lies

It still looks pretty good but I really looked forward to that one. At least we'll get to see Shane Burgos murder Edson Barboza and Tony getting wrestlefucked for his third consecutive loss. Also Katlyn "Blonde Fighter" Chookagian is on the main card. Apparently she's ranked number 2 in women's flyweight, which is a great sign for the division.

 Well plenty of time for this to fall apart between now and Saturday. Let’s see what we have  Lightweight Championship Charles Oliveira vs Michael ChandlerIt’s a vacant title. I’ve seen a few commentators describe this matchmaking as “the best guys who Khabib never beat up.” Oliveira and Chandler are opposites in like every way I can think of. “Aloe” Do Bronx “Vera” is a Brazilian BJJ whiz who came into the UFC very young and has been around for ages. After an unsuccessful run at featherweight, he returned to lightweight and has been just tearing up opponents since then with just a more complete game. His striking looks good, and his wrestling is improved, but his grappling is the main event – he has more submission wins and more wins by different submissions than any other UFC fighter. Last time out he just trounced Tony Ferguson, and Kevin Lee before that. Chandler comes into the UFC in the twilight of his career after a long time in Bellator, where he became famous for an exciting title fight series with Eddie Alvarez. He won and lost the title a few times, most recently getting KOed by the smaller Pitbull brother. He made his UFC debut on a 1-win streak and KOed top contender Dan Hooker in the first round. He’s a great wrestler with powerful and accurate, if unsophisticated, striking. It's a great fight and the winner will probably fight the winner of McGregor-Poirier III, with Justin Gaethje floating around as well. Main Card PPV  Lightweight Tony Ferguson vs Beniel DariushTony just can’t get an easy fight. He’s the former interim champion who once boasted a 12-fight winning streak. He’s crazy and fights with combat rolls and elbows and blood. But he got beaten up really bad by Justin Gaethje, and then pretty bad by Charles Oliveira. Meanwhile, Dariush is streaking, again. He’s a habitual streaker. He’s an Assyrian (seriously) elite grappler with big hands. He’s hittable, but more than once he has KOed an opponent either while hurt or in an exchange. Last time out he had a great fight with Carlos Diego Feirrera. This fight has lots of potential for crazy poo poo to happen. The outcome really depends on how much Ferguson has aged and lost a step. Flyweight Katlyn Chookagian vs Viviane Araujo Katlyn “Blonde Fighter” is the former #1 contender. She got stopped via TKO cuts to Valentina in a one-sided beating, and then she got body-shot TKOed by Jessica Andrade. There might have been another fight in there – I can’t remember and it doesn’t really matter. For the most part, when Chookagian wins, she outpoints her opponents with not-especially-threatening striking, though she has shown off a great BJJ top game once or twice. Araujo is 4-1 in the UFC, with her lone loss being to Jessica Eye. Last time out she took a decision over Roxy. I can’t remember really much for details of that fight (or for Araujo) but I do remember it was one-sided. Featherweight Shane Burgos vs Edson BarbozaYessssss. Burgos is a solid striker who has good technique but goes into the fire. He has been floating around the edges of contendership for sometime, but has lost some key fights to guys like Calvin Kattar. He’s fun to watch and pretty good. Barboza is a veteran known for kickfighting. He is one of the best kickers ever in the sport. He kicks heads, he kicks legs. He snaps them, he spins them, and is fun. He has lost a step though and is trying to reinvigorate his career by moving down in weight. Last time out he took a pretty fun decision win over Amirkani. Bantamweight Matt Schnell vs Rogerio Bontorin I don’t know these dudes. Schnell has a 5-3 UFC record with wins over Smolka, Espinosa, and Tyson Nam, bouncing between bantamweight and flyweight. His most recent loss is to Alexandre Pantoja. Botnorin is a DWCS (Brazil) product who is 2-2 UFC and got walk away KOed by Kai Kara-France in March Prelims ESPN/ESPN+ Middleweight Ronaldo Souza vs Andre Muniz It’s Jacare. He’s good at fighting but getting old – he’s one of the all-time-great BJJ champions, and the former Strikeforce champ. He’s on a 3-fight skid, most recently being loving bizarro world KOed by Kevin Holland, but before that taking current Light Heavyweight champion to a split decision. Muniz is a DWCS product who submitted Bartosz Fabinski by a pretty sweet arm bar in September. Featherweight Lando Vannata vs Mike Grundy Groovy Lando is a pure action fighter who has been around for a few years racking up draws and split decisions. He has a few KOs, but he’s better known for gritty decisions. This is his featherweight debut. Mike Grundy is a Brit who is 1-1 UFC with lots of submission wins. He lost to Evloev in July. That might have been the fight where Evloev suplexed the poo poo out of him over and over. Flyweight Andrea Lee vs Antonina Shevchenko The lesser of their names. Andrea “KGB” Lee (not to be confused with One FC champ Angela Lee) is a Texan kickboxer. She’s long and rangy but not really threatening in her power. She’s on a 3-fight skid but is around because she’s ~marketable~ and wears a cowboy hat. Shevchenko is the less effective sister of the divisional champion. She has a pretty shallow game imo, but decent striking fundamentals. She’s coming off of a TKO win over Ariane Lipski for a 3-2 UFC record. Don’t expect fireworks out of this fight, but we might be treated to some blood if the stars align. Just as an editorial aside it really bothers me that a fighter can be lovely and on a 3 fight skid and keep her job because she’s conventionally attractive, but a fighter like Lauren Murphy has to win like 7 in a row to get considered for a title shot, or Liz Carmouche can be released with like 1 loss. Middleweight Jordan Wright vs Jamie Pickett Jordan Wright came off of DWCS with a cut TKO of Ike Villanueva but he was KOed really badly by Joaquim Buckley. Pickett is a DWCS guy who I think had the storyline of making it to the UFC on his third attempt. He lost his debut to Nchukwi, who we saw lose to Iron Turtle last weekend. Early Prelims (Fight Pass) Flyweight Gina Mazany vs Priscilla Cachoeira Cachoeira came in off of a huge streak of wins in Brazilian regional promotions and then got so smashed by Valentina Shevchenko that a ref lost his job over it. She KOed Shana Dobson in her last fight, to bring her to 1-3 in the UFC. Mazany is 2-4 UFC and TKOed Rachael Ostovich in her first flyweight fight. This is a pretty scrub-tier fight and it should be in Invicta. Kevin Aguilar vs Tucker Lutz Huh. That’s his real name. He’s 11-1 and coming in from two consecutive DWCS fights. Aguilar is a DWCS guy who is 2-3 in the UFC. He’s probably still around despite a 3-fight skid because the DWCS guys get roped into poo poo contracts and they get paid peanuts. Lightweight Christos Giagos vs Sean Soriano Giagos is 3-2 in the UFC in his second run here, though those two losses are to Charles Oliveira and Drakkar Klose. Soriano is 0-3 in the UFC and is coming back for a second run. What a fart of a fight. I’d happily watch a fight like this on an LFA card but why is this on a PPV? Snack Rating: An ice cream sundae with a whole shitload of really good toppings on top of c-tier ice cream that melts too fast as you eat it.

While I agree that it's frustrating for looks to factor into choices to keep undeserving fighters around, I think there's a little more to the story than that with Andrea Lee. There was some questionable judging in her recent losses and the one to Lauren Murphy in particular was an out and out robbery as I recall. Like every media score had it for Lee. So she should really be coming in on a single loss at worst to Roxy. I think she also gets some extra latitude because she's decent and fighting at 125, which is lean on promising talent. There's still no good explanation why Carmouche should have been cut though. That was some bullshit. I think they probably did it because she's clearly not going to win a title, but she's good enough to spoil things for lots of fresh contenders they would otherwise be able to bring in for Shevchenko to maul.
