Didn't know Spike were on Sky now, so will have to take a look.

Cheers for the heads up.

Enjoyed 187.

Cowboy must get the next title shot, and if he volunteers to fight again in the mean time he should be refused and made to focus on that title fight

As much of a Travis Brown fan as I am, it was great to see Arlovski do well. Can't see him getting much further in the division and I doubt Cain is having sleepless nights about him but still nice to see an old school guy chalk up a big win.

Weidman's starting to look dominant. I think Rockhold should be up next, rather than Jacare, but either are good fights.

Pleased for DC too. I like Rumble, but DC has really grown on me over the last year or so and think he's good for the game. If Bader gets the next shot, that shows a fairly depleted LHW division IMO. Gustafsson just ahead of him but injured, Glover just below and on a losing steak, you have Rashad who's been fighting middleweights and then you're into St Pruex/Manua territory.

Talk about understatement imo.

Thought it was one of the most exciting UFC's ive ever seen.

Rumble was sheer class after losing. What a guy. So much respect for him. If I was Cormier I still wouldn't totally feel like champion though. UFC needs Jones back.

Glad Weidman beat Belfort. Less and less respect for Belfort every time I see him.

Just seen this.
I have yet to watch it tbh. My Brother is well into MMA and he let me know it was on, about 3am, a few weeks ago.

+1 to Cos

Superb UFC, and gives the summer cards a lot to live up to!

Likewise

Not even tried hunting it out yet, lol.

Now THAT was a hell of a Fight Night!

Joe Proctor's sub with 2 secs remaining, in a fight he'd probably won anyway.
Wade v Giagos was a great scrap
Shame about Ebersole's knee.
Jordan v Lewis was like two runaway trains colliding. either could have gone out, just happened to be lewis.
Bruce Leroy and Joe Soto both sparked out barely out of the blocks
Ortega v Tavares was a bloody war
Poirier looks like a killer at 155
Bit of a shocker Rothwell dispatching Mitrione so quickly, and what the hell was that WWE style rant and evil laugh in his post fight. Urgh, my skin is still crawling now. Hilarious that he didn't storm off and had to awkwardly answer a couple more questions from Jon Anik. Someone in the top 5 will put him away next.

And Dan Henderson still executing people at the age of 44. Boetch is well know for being extremely hard to put away, but Hendo fired a straight right down the pipe, while backing off and put his lights out with a follow up upper cut. Unbelievable. Can't see him ever fighting for the title again with the top 5 or 6 being a killer's row (arguably the strongest list of contenders in any division) but there's no one who'd want to take a fight with Dan while waiting for their turn to fight for the title, because he's still capable of derailing a run with that H Bomb.

Looking like Aldo is out then
Gutted.

Only thing I've seen is a tweet from Dana saying 'relax', and nothing on the website as of yet.

I intended to put Aldo in every bet I had this weekend, so I hope that isn't the case.

[AdamM]

bruised, rather than fractured ribs.
Still on at the moment.
Getting his excuses in early I reckon

[scotty2hatty]

UFC released statement saying that fight is on with Chad Mendes ready to step in if necessary.

[AdamM]

Come on Conor

[Marky147]

I watched the UFC Fight Companion last week, and they were talking about Aldo getting some guy in to mimic McGregor.

He's the champion of 'Jungle Fight', whatever the fuck that is. He looks pretty slick though, and even has his hair done up like Conor in the video

[Marky147]

Here is where they're talking about McGregor/Aldo in the podcast

Jonas Bilarhino is the guy aldo has brought in to spar
