Yeah this... medically cleared doesn't mean she is feeling well. I definitely don't believe she's making **** up. Shevchenko is an animal, as is Nunes, I can understand why she would want to wait until she is well. They'll do it at UFC 215.

Jesus Christ, Romero. I just don't understand how a 40 year old dude looks like that. Well... I do but I'm not sure how he's getting away with it.

WAR Whittaker!

Crazy that they both have same height and weight but their bodies look so different.

Don't usually say this about UFC fighters for obvious reasons but could see Whittaker having a 5-6+ fight win streak as champ and multi-year title run. He's got great TDD, quick on his feet, good standup, good on his back, cardio seems to be good.

Going to be tough to beat him.

^^^ Nobody is doing that at 185, too stacked at the top. Only reason A.Silva did it was that at that point 185lbs was the weakest division in the ufc, it's top heavy right now between the top 6 guys. Mousasi, Weidman, Rockhold, Bisping all will give him wars.

He should be a decent favorite vs bisping but I think it's a good matchup for bisping.

I don't have a problem with it. Reem won 2nd, Fabricio won 3rd. In the 1st, Werdum was more active but shots that Reem landed seem to do more damage. Flash knockdown around 2:30 probably sealed the deal.

I thought reem won the 1st 2 rounds. Werdum has noone to blame but himself though, reem was dead in the 3rd, he was clearly rocked and wobbled with werdum landing at will with reem against the cage. The finish was close imo but for some reason werdum just took him down and lay on him for final 2 minutes.

Yeah MMA isn't a sport where you can coast on the cards like you can in boxing when you've piled up enough of a lead. Werdum needed to go for the KO no matter what he did in the previous two rounds.

Big loss for the UFC, Mousasi signed with Bellator.

I get why Mousasi went though.

Middleweight in the ufc was so tough in the top 5 he wasn't likely to get a title shot in the next 2 years, might as well go make more money, get a title shot/title and raise his profile more for when the ufc division is a bit clearer.

He was pretty close to a title shot in the UFC. Probably just needed another big win.

Rockhold has been hurt forever, Weidman is on the downside, Yoel/Jacare already lost to Whittaker.

He's by far the best MW in Bellator right now though.
