UFC still needs to find 2-3 more fights. They only announced 10 fights so far:

Daniel Cormier vs. Jon Jones
Jose Aldo vs. Frankie Edgar
Miesha Tate vs. Amanda Nunes
Cain Velasquez vs. Travis Browne
Johny Hendricks vs. Kelvin Gastelum
Gegard Mousasi vs. Derek Brunson
Diego Sanchez vs. Joe Lauzon
Sage Northcutt vs. Enrique Marín
Takanori Gomi vs. Jim Miller
Cat Zingano vs. Julianna Pena

Miesha watching some fights

Cerrone at -165 vs Cote because its in Canada. They aren't even on the same level.

Also feel bad for Johny Hendricks career. Gets constantly fucked over against the toughest fighters, should be champion instead gets to face Kevin Gastellum after a string of losses, thats tough. He really won both the GSP fight and the Lawler fight.

- Bellator cuts lightweight champ Will Brooks. His contract ended, and Bellator didn't renew it. He's now a free agent.

- Holly Holm vs. Valentina Shevchenko at UFC on Fox 20.

- Anthony Johnson vs. Glover Teixeira at UFC on Fox 20.

- Edson Barboza vs. Gilbert Melendez set for UFC on FOX 20.

- Joseph Benavidez vs. Henry Cejudo on December 3rd.

- Dennis Siver injured; Cole Miller stepped up and now faces B.J. Penn at UFC 199.

Miesha s the only bangable woman in UFC imo, oh well and a few straw weights

McGregor might fight Floyd Mayweather in a boxing match, they are supposedly trying to set it up. Nothing confirmed yet, apart from talks being run. Would be a joke though, considering there are far better boxers than McGregor that could fight Mayweather, would only be done cause of the potential money such fight could bring.

Conor doesn't have a chance in a boxing match against Mayweather.

Well yeah, he tried to box Nate and got wrecked so I could only imagine what Mayweather would do to him.

lol, this fight is some kind of a joke.

Mayweather will completely embarrass Mcgregor in boxing match. He is going to make him look like a fool and KO him, like all the time.

Probably going to generate crazy money, though. So you never know.

You know mayweather's going to box his face off whenever floyd is hyping an opponent

There's several chicks at bantamweight who can get the D. More so at strawweight.

Best looking girls at 135:

- Miesha Tate
- Jessica Eye (when she isn't bloated)
- Ronda Rousey (when she isn't bloated)

Best looking girls at 115:

- Valerie Letourneau (when she is NOT in fight-shape. she looks best when she has more weight on her)
- Paige VanZant
- Michelle Waterson

Wonder who ll fight Rockhold, Hall seems like the only option in top10 as everyone else is either injured or just fought, plus he just did a training camp, however he ll get demolished, so better just postpone the fight?

edit:
Weidman's post about the withdraw from the card :

Guy has insane work principles, lol at people taunting him for having health issues and withdrawing

Bisping is in for the title shot.

he gonna get rek't Dan Hendo Merica style

Bisping has good TDD, but I think we'll see Rockhold get a TD at some point and make it look easy, then submit him with the quickness.

Rockhold could easily win on the feet, but I think he'll submit him again.

wish romero hadn't got popped and we were about to see romero rockhold. got a feeling bisping is in for a beatdown.

Your feeling is pretty much a consensus. Luke opened at -1050 which seems about right. Luke is in his absolute prime right now and stylistically, Bisping's avenues of victory is like..nil. I guess he has an edge in quickness in his punches, especially his jab. Except LR is just so long and powerful that it pretty much negates Bisping's one edge. Cardio shouldn't be an issue esp since he's the one who's had a full camp. Submissions on the ground will be there. And I mean...that sight of LR raining down GNP on Weidman was a bit scary. GL to Bisping. Admirable heart. Instantly took up this call on two weeks notice even tho LR basically toyed with him the first go round. Been a long career...derailed several times by TRT'ers (and obv not quite being the best out there at any given time). Would be a good story if he somehow pulls this off
