Still pretty good though... Not sure how Mousasi/Brunson got snuck in there. And no title fights is strange. But some fun fights none-the-less. Sanchez/Lauzon is going to be crazy.

I'm excited to see how Aldo comes back especially against Frankie who has been in great form. A convincing win here for Aldo would be a huge statement.

I don't see McGregor doing any better against a full camp Diaz, I see Diaz possibly employing a more cardio based gameplan to drag Mac to deep waters make him tired and quit again. That's if the full training camp doesn't make a huge difference to the striking early on and it very well might.

You're looking at a sick prelim card there. They'll be a Lawler fight added soon enough, looks like it might be Woodley. I'd expect two more main card fights to be added.

Worth a purchase but I'm still very disappointed we're not getting McGregor/Edgar. I guess this means McGregor is leaving the featherweight division for good?

Gastelum has really been thrown to the wolves. The guy is only 23 years old and has fought Ellenberger, Woodley, Marquardt, Magny, and now Hendricks? The UFC rushes their prospects way too quickly sometimes.

Also, in more immediate news, is Jones/Cormier II still on?

I mean, if Adrien Broner can fight on national TV with a warrant out on him for assault and armed robbery, surely all things are possible?

Yeah still good. And yeah you're right, buzzing for Sanchez V Lauzon, could steal the show.

That is a crazy run of fights for a youngster. Better than the boxing model of too many journeymen though. It's sink or swim in the UFC.

Lawler Woodley would be a great addition and take the card to another level. Wonder what the running order would be?

Diaz McGregor
Lawler Woodley
Aldo Edgar
Cain Browne
Hendricks Gastelum

Wonder if they'll have Sanchez Lauzon headlining fight pass to get subs like they did with Porier Duffy.

Oh and Dana has said win or lose, Conor MUST defend his belt against the winner of Aldo Edgar. We'll see if it actually happens though.

I just read that Aldo v Edgar isn't the co main going to be interesting to see who they put in there.

I agree I don't want to see UFC guys going 20-0 before fighting anyone decent, but with Gastelum (and Oliveria before him) I think the UFC has gone too far in the other direction. A year and change ago, Gastelum was 10-0, but he'd struggled against Story (I thought Story won) and his biggest win was over a somewhat faded Ellenberger. To me, that is NOT the time to throw a 23 year old into a fight with a top-5 guy like Woodley. And now they're doing it again, throwing him in with another top-5 guy after a loss to Magny. Makes no sense.

I mention Oliveria because they did the same thing to him. He was a super-talented undefeated prospect, and suddenly after a couple of fights they threw him in with Miller and Cerrone when he was still only 21 years old. He lost both fights badly.

That is a Garbage fight.

The UFC teased a mind blowing co main and its official
GSP vs Lawler for the welterweight championship.

I expect this to shatter all previous PPV UFC a records.
Diaz, McGrgeor, Aldo, Edgar, GSP and Lawler likely make more than they ever have before.

Yeah that would be huge.

Ok so I just realised that it's still April fools in the US. You fornicating pricks!!!!

Would have been awesome though.

Conor has been uncharacteristically quiet so far after his defeat. I'm sure that will change once the pressers get going. But, he's usually hitting up social media and other media outlets spewing his crap by now. Looks like Nate has knocked him down a peg or two. The pressers should be interesting.

Cormier vs. Jones is off. Cormier is hurt and that is a bummer for MMA which has just way too much of this.

Dana said it will not be Johnson like many are hoping.
