If someone asked me three or four years ago (1) what year would a struggling to put together a great performance and wins Aljamain Sterling and ACB champion Petr Yan fight and (2) would it be for a UFC title, my answers would have been late 2021 or early 2022 at the earliest as Yan is climbing up the ranks and an emphatic hell no.

Crazy but amazing times we live in.

Speaking of both crazy and amazing, Poirier vs. Ferguson feels like a fight we should have seen before. I'll gladly take it now though.

Megan Anderson is not just fighting for a title...she's fighting for her job in the UFC. IMO Megan Anderson, on the other hand, is fighting to keep her division from being shuttered because they aren't meaningful names on the way.

barring Megan looking like an absolute killer and decimating Nunes.......I don't think it matters. I think Women's Featherweight will be going away regardless. I generally don't even see the argument for eliminating entire divisions, but in this case it's pretty much undeniable. 

i mean, take a look at the UFC's rankings page:

Megan's not ranked because the division DOESN'T EVEN HAVE RANKINGS! Megan's last two opponents were both making their UFC debut. Even Invicta's WFW title hasn't been defended in over a year. Nobody noticed, because there's a humongous lack of talent and challengers (well, and that whole COVID thing...)

Nunes vs Anderson is practically THE ONLY WFW MATCH. full stop.

This isn't like 2003 or 2004 where they can arbitrarily cut a division even if they have a champion. That's why men's flyweight is still around because they figured out how to go on without Mighty Mouse. If Anderson wins, the division is staying otherwise they wouldn't even go forward with this matchup. It's not like Anderson beat another contender to get here. As for the rankings, shit, I don't think they ever had rankings in the three or so years the division has been around. 

The true disaster part of this is Nunes winning this fight and then going off to spend time with her new family. If Holm beats Aldana, that would guarantee that pretty much. They could crown a new bantamweight champion if Nunes vacates that title. They won't do that at featherweight IMO.

So is this gonna be the Celebrity Night of the RNC, where they bring out the MyPillow guy and the Goya CEO and James Woods? 

Wait, the MyPillow guy is a Republican? Now I'm glad that I didn't buy one of his pillows.

The local news said he also got an F rating from the Better Business Bureau or something like that a long time ago. Nobody ever brings that up.

How bad do you have to fuck up to get an F from the BBB? There were fucking time-share companies that got an "A" from them.

Michael Bisping spent the day wishing a porn star well several times over after people fucked with him saying dude was in the military and a doctor. Bisping was a good sport because he's a hella good dude.

I really like Michael Bisping. So satisfying seeing him KTFO Luke Rockhold in the very first round on 17 days notice becoming the new UFC Middleweight Champion.
