14-1 local fighter Luan Chagas is replacing Kamaru Usman against Sergio Moraes on the UFC 198 card.

I think people are confusing unlikeable and unreasonably dickish with weakness. To kill Roose is a pretty big accomplishment already.

Alan Jouban is fighting Nordine Taleb on the 7/7 Fight Pass card.

I will say this: It's interesting now that Ramsay is basically left up to his own devices without Roose. No one is there to check him. On the other hand, Joffrey was extremely cruel but he had Tywin there among others. He met his untimely (or timely) demise before we got to see full on chaos. Either this ends in a mutiny similar to what happened to Theon and Jon Snow or Roose's bastard is about to inadvertently set off the Westeros doomsday device in a big way.

Just spoke to @glennauthentic: Jordan Parsons had to have his full right leg amputated last night. His organs were starting to fail ...
And his heart was only working at 20%. He's currently having heart surgery and that should last another hour or so, per Robinson.
The Parsons thing is extremely sad. He went from fighting on a TV card next week to losing his leg to fighting for his life.

Amir Khan says a lot of ridiculous things. You can find several in that quote.

He's not doing MMA.

Josh Thomson is out of his fight with Michael Chandler.

It's weird that the Showtime fights tonight had a close fight that could have been a draw ultimately having two wide scorecards and a fight that wasn't that close ruled a majority draw.
Either way, we still end up with DeGale vs. Jack unifying their belts at super middleweight.

Much like Meaney's stand-up routine, Uncle Buck is best left in the 80s.

Derrick Lewis vs. Roy Nelson is on the 7/7 Fight Pass card as well.

James Vick is replacing Leonardo Santos against Evan Dunham on the UFC 199 card.
Anthony Birchak vs. Dileno Lopes has been added to the 7/7 Dos Anjos vs. Alvarez card.

If the UFC decides to do 125, that would pretty pull the carpet out from Bellator's plans especially if they're both competing for a small pool of talent. Without Cyborg (or Gina), it pretty much put a bow on Bellator's plans on featherweight. You can tell that by Coenen vs. Budd being a title fight on the prelims. With there being people dropping down from bantamweight (D'Alelio and Roxy) and a couple other prominent 125ers in Invicta, the UFC would pretty much have first dibs. They don't want flyweight because it's too shallow. However, if it means blowing up Bellator's plans (like putting Cyborg on random UFC cards going forward), then they will gladly do that.
This is more fly in the ointment than trying to do something build future talent.

20 minutes ago, Hector said:
Seeing a lot of people say Dallas will regret not picking up Ramsey. They apparently were unaware of their dogshit track record drafting 1st round DBs.
Solution for being the team with the fewest takeaways: Draft someone with 3 collegiate INTs.
Yup.

A Hard Day?!
...So now I have to enter the contest. The line has been drawn.
