Really intrigued with the female bantamweight bout. Here is a clip of GdR's opponent Anna Elmose:
As you can see, she's bringing some hand cannons herself.

Tony Ferguson vs. Michael Chiesa is in the works for the Sioux Falls card.

Still no announcement of Phil Brooks' debut then? Didn't seem too long ago, everyone thought it would be on 200.
No, nothing on that yet. Meltzer did say that there is one PPV fight left open for 200 w/ the possibility of Dillashaw vs. Assuncao II being the FS1 headliner.

-
FWIW I'm seeing that it's being reported that the Holm fight is the headliner for that card.
-
Looks like the top three fights for the Fox card in Chicago will be Rumble vs. Teixeira, Gilbert Melendez vs. Edson Barboza, and Holm vs. Shevchenko.
UFC 201 will be in Atlanta, GA and Lawler vs. Woodley will land on that show.

Just a fucking shame. Hopefully, they apprehend this person.

It's basically the same thing wrestling and boxing has failed to do (well at least on the North American side) in China basically. You're trying turn places that were never sustained hotbeds for those particular endeavors into money making ventures. Everybody that has tried to do so has lost their ass. You see Bob Arum still trying to do those shows in Macau? No? Hmm, I wonder why.....
So if you can't make it in a gambling mecca with a sport that favors gambling, how the fuck are you're going to make it on the mainland?
OneFC is filling that gap better in Southeast Asia, but so far it has been more than mixed results. Even if they do get someone who makes it big, the UFC is just going to snatch them up whenever their contract ends anyway. So they're basically developing talent for someone else. If you're going to make it anywhere as a promotion, you can't be a glorified farm system. In essence, that's basically every promotion that's not the UFC and arguably Bellator if they ever manage to get their shit together.
But yeah, everyone can say the same things you hear on a WWE conference call. China and India have X number of homes and ______ has this many fans so potentially we can have ___ million fans. However, what incentive do they have to watch? That logic was already extremely faulty to begin with, but now you add in the fact that as time progresses, these sports are going to cater more and more to males in North America between the ages of 18-34. Remember when dudes like Bernabe Concepcion and Mercito Gesta were suppose to be the next Pacquiao? Yeah, me neither. People outside North America aren't stupid. Sure, you get a Zou Shiming who gets like millions of people watching his pedestrian 10 rounders against some Mexican cab driver up until he loses convincingly. However, when it comes down to it and it's time to get real (basically getting into whatever endgame the promoter has), people see through that veneer of "Hey, this guy is the greatest thing since Hurricane Hank Armstrong".

If RIZIN lasts more than a few shows and Struve gets cut, I can see some freakshow fights in his future. BARUTO vs. Stefan Struve is coming to a local Japanese TV channel near you.

The late Justin Eilers had the same thing going on.

FWIW undefeated Team Alpha Male fighter Josh Emmett who was suppose to fight on a local NorCal card on Saturday is stepping in to replace Nick Hein against Jon Tuck. Not sure if there is any shift between the FS1 and Fight Pass prelims.

Some UFC on Fox Chicago card fights: Alex Oliveira vs. James Moontasri, Felice Herrig vs. Kailin Curran, and Eddie Wineland vs. Frankie Saenz.
Since Paige VanZant has been so successful on DWTS, her return has been pushed to late August.

Mir just seems to fold at certain points. All the guys he gets stopped by all hard hitters. Getting done up by Mark Hunt, Shane Carwin, or Junior dos Santos is not really that embarrassing. Over the years, he has taken a ton of punishment. He managed to survive in certain fights (the first Brock fight for example) and make a decent account for himself. Then, in certain fights, he just looks for a way out and finds himself getting pummeled. It's been going on since early on in his Zuffa tenure, and that's basically his whole fifteen year career.
Now, between having an awful non-roided yet somehow roided physique and no inclination to be in anything other than brawls, he's basically a sitting duck for anyone with power and accuracy.

Not that I know of. I think the ones that may include combat sports athletes may just be for athletes in general.
However, you would think so based on the number of people who swear by using a hyperbaric chamber whenever they rest.

As time has progressed, Struve tends of fight against his strengths every fight out. If there was one guy I would pick to not knock out Pezao who was realistically going to face him (ruling out most scrub HWs), Struve would be that guy. He barely beat reanimated cadaver Minotauro. Struve is a 7 foot fighter who wants to fight like he is a six foot welterweight. As a heavyweight with a less than sturdy chin and average strength, that style of fighting is untenable.

XFC Brazil flyweight champion Poliana Botelho posted her signing a UFC contract on her instagram. Not sure if she is going down to 115 or we're going to be seeing more flyweight fights.

I seriously don't think SFL is the third largest MMA promotion in the world. The proof is what exactly?
Once Canelo disposes of him, he should fight Kell Brook. However, he won't because that fight makes too much sense. Instead, he will chase Floyd for another 3 years.
