Best case scenario is we get another Germaine De Randamie situation and we can all hold our head in our hands.

4 fighters left, Conor hasn't weighed in yet

Fight fans get Khabib vs Tony, Pettis gets to focus on cornering his brother instead of getting embarassed by Tony, McGregor gets sued by everyone for no-showing. Everybody wins.

I don't remember the last time I saw a fighter shivering like this at a weigh in, she couldn't even get back on the scale to pose.

So the UFC uploaded a video to YouTube of Khabib vs Conor simulated in UFC 3 (the videogame), I won't spoil how the video ends, but they're trying to sell UFC 3 Notorious Edition.

There might have been something special about his striking 2 years ago but now he might have trouble hitting the broad side of a bus accurately.

Is Lewis like actually healthy?

He looked shockingly good during the (actual, morning) weigh ins, though he still had to cut to make 265(.5).

So UFC posted multiple Rose Namajunas promos but as far as I can tell there's no fight announced or even rumored, anyone got an idea?

That was a fight commentated by that Josh Grisham guy. He took Derrick Lewis' pre fight "I like to high kick" comment seriously.

I can't think of a reason why he would throw those (sometimes spinning) high kicks other than he likes to do it, it sure as gently caress isn't hitting anyone.

Wonder if Dana just tells him to gently caress off again.

What if instead of getting rid of 125 to make 165, they get rid of 205? Existing fighters go to heavyweight and never cut weight again.

guy who ducked his way out of ufc is crying that the public wanted somebody else as flyweight champion, which was one of a few reasons he didn't want to rematch Cejudo.

If he rematches him and wins he becomes the guy with the title defense record who currently has 0 title defenses.
