Elsalvajeloco Posted August 16, 2017 Author Share Posted August 16, 2017 On 8/9/2017 at 4:10 PM, Elsalvajeloco said: The bout agreements for Bisping vs. GSP have been signed so that is officially the main event of UFC 217. As a result, that pretty much pushes a potential Cyborg vs. Holm fight to UFC 219 because Cyborg doesn't want to share Jason Parillo doing double duty cornering Bisping. So if there is a third title fight slotted for that show, it's probably going to be Joanna vs. Rose or maybe Ferguson/Khabib for an interim LW title. Update: The interim LW title fight is actually Ferguson vs. Kevin Lee at UFC 216 in Vegas. Khabib isn't ready yet coming off surgery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheVileOne Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Kevin Lee vs. Tony Ferguson is a good fight at least. Hopefully Garbrandt/Dillashaw stays together this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will probably be attending this card if the tickets aren't too crazy. The fight is on the 11th and my birthday is on the 10th. I will be in Williamsburg that weekend for some dumb time share meeting thing. Hey, it was a three night stay on the house and all I had to do was listen to some schpiel I was going to say no to anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Wilson Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 This gap between shows feels like an eternity for current day UFC, when was the last time four weeks passed between events? Then they have four events in September? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elsalvajeloco Posted August 18, 2017 Author Share Posted August 18, 2017 They got a picture of Dan Henderson from 2003 but Sakuraba's picture looks like it was taken today. Like a before and after picture for a meth abuser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
