Mitrione vs. Kongo for the Bellator HW Title.
Sonnen vs. King Mo. Fedor vs. Rampage/Wanderlei. Lima vs. McDonald.
both Primus vs. Chandler and Pico vs. Freeman should be rematched...

I disagree about the Pico v Freeman rematch.

Pico looks so much smaller than Freeman in their fight. I have no clue why they have him fighting at 155. He should have been at 145 for his debut.

I want to see Pico vs. Warren at 145.

Freeman seems like a great guy. I read a couple of interviews with him before and after his match with Pico. He has a certain "Everyman" quality about him that makes it easy to cheer for. Him vs. Ryan Couture should be next.

Otherwise: Bader vs. Mo, Kong vs. Meathead (or toss in Fortune in there). Sonnen vs. Ruth!

So, both 213 & 214 look pretty good. Bummer that Megan has pulled out but at least they are moving forward with a fight in that division.
I really hope Whittaker can get the victory over Romero, but I'm not to hopeful.
Also I saw cerrone v lawler got moved to 214, I get the feeling that Donald will steamroll Robbie, who has been involved in so many brutal fights over the past 2-3 years, I'd be shocked if he isn't somewhat shopworn.

And Maia v Woodley, the one I'm looking forward to the most.
Can't help feel demian got ripped of a little, he's only getting a short trading camp

Yep, 13 &14 look pretty top notch.

UFC has yet to update their schedule to include Robbie and Cowboy. Gastelum/Weidman is a nice match up for the main event on July 22nd.

Getting suckered into a ward fight, the viable bellator card and 213 will have my dumb ass paying well over $300 to watch TV for the month.

It's gonna be interesting to see how Conor fares sparring Malignaggi.

I think he will do better than expected. Malignaggi isn't the most defensively adept.

it gets like that sometimes.

I just realised Werdum v Overeem is on 213 too. Completely missed it, should be a good fight. Considering how thin hw is at the moment the winner could well get a title fight

At this point, I'd be extremely surprised if Overeem is even mildly competitive with Werdum.

I find it difficult to get excited for that one. While I know he's more comfortable now I can't unsee werdum flopping around on his back on their abysmal rematch. It was Dirrell like.

Justin Gaethje is a fricken BEAST!!!!

What an exciting fight, Gaethje's recovery is some of the best I've ever seen.

Entertaining fight for sure.

fornicate I'm excited for the fights tomorrow(Aus time). I love Romero but I'll be screaming my lungs out for Whittaker. If he wins he could go on to be a dominant champion IMO.

Gonna be hard to beat that one for fight of the year.

Gaethje is unbelievable to watch but damn he is gonna be slurring his speech by age 30.

I don't think there's anything official yet but the rumour is that Nunes is out.

It's official, Nunes/Shevchenko is canceled. Card will go on with Romero/Whittaker as the main event.

Should've been the main event anyway. Hard for me to be bummed out that Schevshenko v Nunes is cancelled because I'm that pumped for Romero/Whittaker.

Hope Gay Jesus Romero gets his ass kicked.

Who else saw the Gaethje/Johnson fight last night?

Ridiculous fight! Will probably end up FOTY.

Nunes was in hospital saying she was sick. Doctors cleared her but she pulled herself out. TBH Shevshenko isn't a fight she wants to take if she's not 100% so for her career it may have been a good move.

Was spewing. I put money on the Russian to finish Browne in the first. Thought u was gonna get it there for a bit.

I agree. I was picking Shevshenko to w/o anyhow. If Nunes isnt top notch, no way is she lasting in the deep waters.

Was it the weight cut that landed her in the hospital?

Werdum takes down Overeem when he has him finished on the feet and then loses the fight. Stupid just fornicating stupid.

Win or lose Romero is an unbelievable athlete.

WHITTAKER HAS PULLED IT OFF!!!!!!!
