Mike Bohn ‏@MikeBohnMMA 11m Robbie Lawler vs. Carlos Condit set for UFC 195 on Jan. 2; Urijah Faber vs. Frankie Saenz at UFC 194 on Dec. 12, per FOX Sports Live.

Max Holloway vs. Jeremy Stephens has been officially added to UFC 194.

Interesting thing that I saw a couple days ago: Ant Evans said that the Fight Nights events in Russia will now be shown on Fight Pass. The 9/25 (moved from 9/18) will be the first. Most importantly, the co-main event of the show at this moment (it MAY have changed) is Bellator heavyweight champion Vitaly Minakov vs. Geronimo "Mondragon" dos Santos. Minakov said he wants to finish out his Bellator deal. Bellator can't let this dude fight on a UFC stream while still holding their belt. That's weird as shit.

Ariel Helwani news tidbits on UFC Tonight: - Lawler is only going to be out a month; Wants to Return at UFC 195 - Travis Browne and Matt Mitrione want to fight each other - Al Iaquinta doesn't need knee surgery. Iaquinta will be getting stem cell injections in his knee. He might be ready to go in January. He wants to fight Beneil Dariush. Dariush's team wants that fight as well. - Michael McDonald is cleared to return from his hand injuries. He wants to return before the year is over. - Do Bronx did come into the Holloway with a pre-existing next injury. Doctors said he can return to training next month. - Sam Stout has officially retired.

Sage Northcutt is moving down to LW and facing Frank Trevino in his UFC debut at UFC 192. Bilyal Makhov, who is under UFC contact, is competing at the World Wrestling Championships in Vegas starting next week (9/7). He is doing both Freestyle and Greco-Roman. He needs a top six finish to qualify for the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio. He finished third at last year's WWC in Greco-Roman.

I believe Weidman isn't on there because his wife is expecting their next child soon.

Neil Seery vs. Jon Delos Reyes has been added to 10/24 Dublin card.

This should have been done a long time ago. http://www.mmafighting.com/2015/9/1/9242365/csac-will-no-longer-recognize-wins-earned-in-unsanctioned-events?utm_campaign=marc_raimondi&utm_content=chorus&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter

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

Guilherme Cruz ‏@guicruzzz 2m2 minutes ago Former UFC and PRIDE champion Rodrigo "Minotauro" Nogueira has officially retired, will work for the UFC. Story coming to @MMAFighting.

Greg Savage said the plan is Lawler vs. Condit at UFC 195 on 1/2.

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.

Michelle Waterson vs. Tecia Torres has been added to UFC 194.

Roger Goodell is on the phone with various hitmen as we speak.

I joined because I cave into peer pressure easily.
