You know the UFC is getting desperate for fans/money when they're featuring women in PPV main events.

They are also planning to cut over 100 fighters from their roster, they cut 16 already.

The events are too saturated and UFC is on so much now that it isn't as special as it used to be.

They'd make more money if they had fewer, but larger events.

The women's fight was more entertaining than Machida vs Hendo.

Or they have a rule that any title fight must be the main event (unless there are multiple title fights on the same night in which case the higher weight class is the main event).

Like Machido/Hendo was a great main card? Or the Schaub/Johnson bout? As for prelims, who can argue Grice/Bermudez wasn't a soon to be classic? I have no issue with the Rousey/Carmouche bout placement. Both are committed to their sport.

Jose Aldo to get title shot at LW if he gets through Anthony Pettis

http://espn.go.com/mma/story/_/id/89...anthony-pettis

I'd put him as about even with Benson right now. He's a better technical fighter standing, and has incredible takedown defense. But his cardio is a real concern against a grinder like Benson. Going up in weight and not cutting so much weight might help that, but it's hard to say.

He has incredible TDD vs the guy's he fights. I think Benson can take him down easily. Benson walks around at probably 170-175. He wants to fight GSP. He would be enormous for Aldo to deal with, and he also has a rediculous chin. I think Benson would beat him via decision.

Riddle "blowing glass" now and "roasting bones".

I don't have issues with weed use and metabolites in one's system weeks after last use. But the rule is there and Riddle knew it. What are your views on medicinal use card being honored by MMA and other sports?

Aldo/Pettis and Aldo/Benson give me a boner.

If you can find it download the WEC match between Bendo and Cowboy. The 5 round one.

Benson is a sick sick man. Watch Cowboy try to submit him on numerous occasions. Bendo's arms were defying all reasonable understanding of human anatomy.
Guess that's why they call him Bendo.

Apparently Mark Hunt turned down a fight with JDS so they moved the fight to July.
