I'm listening to Steve Cofield's UFC 183 pre-show on Sirius and just heard Carlos Condit say he plans on returning around May (targeting the 5/23 card).

Yeah, Dana said they are both moving up.

Remember, Jacare pulled out of the Romero fight due to pneumonia. They probably aren't offering him any fights until he gets back healthy too.

Durinho said that Vitor turned down an interim title fight with Machida since he doesn't have enough time to train for a southpaw. Of the list of opponents Durinho mentioned, I can see him fighting Romero.

Your friends don't make bright decisions.

To let you know who is the better girl that lost to Ronda Rousey.

It wouldn't happen because of said UFC show and probably being a conflict of interest, but it would be worth the subscription to hear Meltzer shit on his own commentary. Either that or we get an epic angry rant in response to fans criticizing his commentary that ultimately ends up on the year end comp show.

Sara McMann can beat Miesha 30-24 on every scorecard. She still ain't getting close to a title shot.

Gastelum and Lineker will be both fined 30% instead.

Dave Sholler say's it is on and it's moot now, but they could have easily bumped McMann vs. Tate to the co-main. Fox might be a little pissed, but it's not like Lineker vs. McCall is a bad FS1 prelim headliner. I mean "Strasser" Kunimoto was out there headlining the prelims not too long ago. As far as Ronda goes, I think the Holm vs. Pennington co-main gimmick is kinda intriguing. It could also backfire because Lenny Fresquez might not put Holly in there with Ronda yet for a couple good reasons. First, they didn't go to Europe to fight Cecilia Braekhus in boxing and that would've crowned the best female fighter in the world. She would have gotten paid more in that fight than what she will get paid in her 2nd UFC fight. Second, I think Holm has said it herself she has a lot of work to do before fighting Rousey. If you know Fresquez is a notoriously hard dude to deal with (his dealings with the Sauerlands and the first Holm/UFC negotiation) and Holm might not call her out if/when she wins, you might as well have tried to get Yoel Romero or Vitor a tune-up as a co-main instead. I think that's very, very risky long-term. Short term, it can help the PPV do decent business by selling people the Rousey/Holm angle. However, people will be pissed if it doesn't happen and ends up being the winner of Bethe Correia/Sarah Kaufman or somebody who won't help promote the fight. You also have to take into account that Ronda is also very low-key since she has more responsibility with her personal brand and her movie career. She most likely isn't going to do what use to sell her fights back a year or so ago.

Cormier suggested Woodley take his money and fight Thatch instead. I mean that's not a bad idea.

Guilherme Cruz ‏@guicruzzz 37s Ray Longo told Combate TV Chris Weidman had "a freak accident in a weird spot" while training wrestling. Said Weidman feels bad for Belfort. Dan Henderson has fought 3 times since Belfort beat him in Vitor's last fight.

Gastelum is just not built to make 170 moreso than Alves, Anthony Johnson, and other guys in the past who had problems make 170. He is one of the few guys in MMA who has a boxing body (the highest weights; 154 and up) where all his weight is concentrated around his mid-section. He isn't even fat. It's just the way he is built. Those others guy were just muscular as hell.

Lineker is also 5 pounds off and will not try to cut again. I assuming that's the end of him at 125.

Woodley tweeted that Gastelum is nine pounds over.

We got have a Kickstarter for Chris Weidman to find new body parts: Bloody Elbow ‏@BloodyElbow 7m Weidman injured, Belfort fight scrapped; Rousey vs. Zingano headlines UFC 184 http://sbnation.com/e/7718660 I'm guessing Belfort fights Romero since why the fuck not. Edit: Torn rib cartilage and return set for April/May.

Gastelum is going to miss weight and take the 20% purse hit instead of attempting to cut anymore weight.

I wonder how all this is going play out because 5/23 is JBJ/Rumble, 6/13 is Velasquez/ Werdum, and 7/11 is Aldo/McGregor. Lawler is expected to return somewhere in that timeframe. Although it could be the 189 co-main event, I am not ruling the welterweight title fight headlining 7/12 or the July Fox show in Chicago. Someone is going to end up with a Rousey co-main either way.

The main event for UFC 189 (July 11) is indeed Jose Aldo vs. Conor McGregor for the UFC Featherweight championship.

Apparently, Kelvin Gastelum had a bad weight cut and went to the hospital. However, the fight is still on as now.

Andre Fili vs. Godofredo Pepey and Shayna Baszler vs. Amanda Nunes have been added to the 3/21 Rio card.

You didn't miss anything. Good grief.How the heck do you get that many people whose work I like into one movie and have it be completely awful? If you didn't have Craig's quote, I would think you were talking about Child 44. Oldman may be in "Hey, it's a paycheck" mode.

I'm just going to blindly assume Universal had to contractually release this and move on with my life.
