Entertaining fights get rematches regardless of outcome. Barado/TJ had one scheduled and it will be rescheduled at some point imo

Any other fight and I'm not interested. Fact that a rematch didn't happen earlier is sad.

True fan.

Dana White already said he is likely to be next.

Barao/TJ I was not a competitive fight though.

Barao couldn't even get past 'Sauna', no way he deserves a second TJ fight.

I agree with this. But Gus/Jones was kinda controversial - I remember thinking that Gus deserved the win.

Rematches for (fighter got jobbed by judges, fight was extremely close between two top fighters, long time champ just lost belt) are fine but yeah I'd rather see them be rather rare events. I hate 5 round fights as they've have been very mixed, more bad than good imo.

Jones left rehab after one day.

Competitive and entertaining are not always mutually inclusive.

While true, Barao did nothing in that fight to deserve another fight.

you know besides the fact he cleared out the division for 5 years before that. hilarious to me people think renan is drawing dead in this fight. wouldnt have been made at cruz/assunciao but they cant go so the only person who makes sense in barao.

We're both speaking English, come on.

For the record I'm not saying the two should ever ever ever fight again. I'm saying the immediate rematch that was going to happen didn't make sense.

I started getting into ufc after seeing Silva own Bonnar at ufc 153. After the fight I researched Spider on YouTube and was blown away. The other fighter I became a fan of was Nick Diaz.

Their combined record 0-4 since 153. Guess I was late coming in to the game...

It will still be cool to see them face off.

So has DC resigned himself to being a pundit after he got owned by Jon Jones?

Cormier been doing ufc on Fox for quite a while.

Think he signed up as permanent host a few months ago, definitely before he fought Jones.

Not sure if anyone was watching the weigh-ins yesterday but Gastelum was 10 lbs over the limit. Rumor is that he had serious problems while cutting and was rushed to hospital. He looked like he was going to faint any second.

Woodley on the other hand was a small underdog at 1.9 / - 110 ; lines are probably adjusted since as now I see him at -200; still would take
