I was using all middle tier guys even though it's acceptable for Condit to fight some of them. Ellenberger can have some bad fights. Now, early UFC run Ellenberger would definitely belong in there.

 

Also, Jordan Mein can fight someone for the sub replacement spot.

If Usman can clean up some stuff in regards to his defense, he can easily be a top 15 welterweight within 9-12 months.

Did you forget that list of serial killers you just posted?  He is a really good prospect, but if he runs into someone with decent takedown defense he might be in trouble.  He's going to have to prove to me he can withstand some heavy artillery before I'm putting him in that stratosphere.  It would be irresponsible for them to even put him in the cage with a lot of those guys in the next 9-12 months.

Sholler: We’ll do more research into the Magalhaes situation, find out what was going through his head before deciding on punishment.

 

Going to say...not a whole lot other than "how can I get cut from the roster"

McGregor and Faber to coach next season of TUF, Europe vs USA. But not fight each other afterwards, because Faber's 0-1 since going back to 135.

They only reason to see a McGregor vs Faber fight is the possibility of seeing the 2 Pac hologram with Dr Dre during the entrance music if Saturday wasn't a one time thing.    If he couldn't handle Edgar than no chance against Connor

Of the show? Nobody gives a fuck about the show.  The whole purpose of the show is typically to build up to a fight of the coaches.  So it builds for ratings of THAT fight. 

 

 

FOX gives a fuck about the ratings for the show.

At this point, Mike Tyson could enter the house and no one would watch.  That show has jumped the shark, circled back around and jumped it again.  The problem is that there just aren't enough unemployed fighters to make up a good enough cast for us to care.  They should make it a 23 and younger competition that is looking for promising guys before they can be signed by someone else.  No one would watch, but it would at least serve a purpose.  Most of the guys on the show in the last few seasons aren't very good at all.

It's on a shitty channel that nobody watches. Their "give a shit" is at a pretty low level. They're not trying to beat NFL ratings on a Sunday. They're just trying to fill a time slot with something that someone might watch. Mission accomplished only now there's no end payoff that benefits from the season long time waster. Now it's truly just a shitty show on a buried channel with no reason to watch.

They're just doing TUF with Conor and Faber to (1) keep Conor in the limelight while they figure out how promote the Aldo fight and (2) just provide content for Fox which is pretty much the only remaining purpose for TUF. Right now, everything Conor has touched has been gold. Most watched Fight Pass show, most watched FS1 UFC show, and most likely the most profitable fight at 155 and below in MMA history leading a fight that is going to be WAY more profitable than that. If it's not holding up an entire division and helps keep one of the biggest stars they've created on TV in some capacity, then why the fuck not? I mean not a lot of people watched the Rousey vs. Tate season, but people still bought the shit out of UFC 168. That's the ultimate end game. If it helps out 1/2 even a little, they will be extremely happy.

 

Plus, it's going to be intriguing to see how this particular season does after the Women's World Cup raised FS1's profile. They've managed get out of that holding pattern that CBS Sports Network and NBC Sports Network are still stuck in.
