OMG, YES! This is going to rule. (Unless Fedor gets KO'd. PLZ don't get KO'd, homie!.) This needed to happen. Give that man a comfy job doing promotion in Brazil or something. That might be part of it: http://www.mmafighting.com/2015/9/1/9240303/legendary-heavyweight-antonio-rodrigo-nogueira-announces-retirement -

The rumor going around Fedor vs. Hunt II at UFC 193, which would obviously take Pezao out of that slot. If it becomes official sometime soon, I will make a thread. I do have a feeling that Dana is waiting to announce it at the Friday presser though. -

TUF 22: Team McGregor vs. Team Faber cast: Conor's homeboy and chief sparring partner Artem Lobov is of course part of this. In a sense, they are basically taking a some established Euro MMA vets and putting them against fresh American prospects. Besides Gallicchio and Ryan Hall on the strength of going back and forth from BJJ to MMA, there aren't a ton of guys on that US list who have just been around. -

I don't know if that's going to be possible. She had problems with Tiburcio, and she's a little girl compared to Torres. This could be 15 minutes of Tecia Torres in top control unless she entertains the possibility her stand-up is better. -

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fIP5GvZMqk8 Interesting that Johnson was the one who brought Neil Melanson to the Blackzilians. I believe he worked with him for UFC 187, but this is his first full camp with Melanson.

Post Affliction, it could have happened probably. However, then that would escalate Couture settling his differences with the UFC. The winner of Couture vs. Fedor would have most likely fought Lesnar unless Lesnar dropped a bout in the interim. Also, barring some crazy development. Post Strikeforce purchase? No, it definitely would have not happened. Fedor would have gotten a one or two tuneups and Lesnar would've been gone by then. Dana and Lorenzo probably would have thrown a huge yacht full of cash at him though to make Lesnar fight one last time. The money he would have made off that would insure he could live in the woods for the next decade and never come out. Vince McMahon got really lucky on that tip. -

Man, I'm just hope there isn't a slew of "What would have happened had UFC signed him in 20__?" win or lose for Fedor. Stuff like that is just too hard to predict because one man could change the trajectory of several other fighters' careers. However, I will say that looking at the overall picture is definitely more interesting than focusing on one fighter. Just crossing off who so and so might have beaten is lazy because you never know if some of those fights ever got made. You had people already on the outs with Zuffa so Arlovski and Sylvia may have never even fought him. Plus, you have other orgs trying to sign big names that people like Brock may have went elsewhere and got Fedor's money to fight Brett Rogers or whatever schmo. -
Just for reference: This is funny because you had people who wrote articles fantasy booking Tarantino directing a season of True Detective. I am not sure about now, but 1995 Quentin Tarantino would've tried to kill Nic Pizzolatto on set. It would have been something like Brian De Palma and cokehead Oliver Stone when they were shooting Scarface.

The interim WBC 122-lbs. title fight before that with Ruiz and Ceja was also good. Crazy last three rounds and a great finish.

FrontRowBrian® @FrontRowBrian Sounds like @MMA_Prophet has the scoop. Heard from a trusted source Fedor to UFC is essentially done. Bellator not in the sweepstakes. -
So they may now make a whole $23 dollars in profit on this fight.

We're a couple days away from September. He would technically need to start training in about two weeks. If he only needed 3-4 weeks to heal, that would put the fight in mid December. The problem is you already got fights scheduled for then. From Iole's story, Dana is hopeful that Lawler can return for UFC 195 and said it's not a serious injury. He also was thinking about having Joanna fight Letourneau as the co-main underneath Rousey-Holm in Melbourne, but Letourneau isn't ready for that turnaround. It looks like Letourneau is getting the next strawweight title shot anyways with Claudia still healing.
