    Interested to see what Holm/Tate will do PPV wise if its a main event on its own (I'd imagine she's only fighting because the UFC are stuck for a main event). I think Holm will draw well. Think at a push she could do 500-600k

    I'll be interested.

    Ben Askren up to middleweight since ONE have banned weight cutting. I'd imagine most of there fighters will either follow suit or leave. Wonder would this push Bibiano to the ufc, some great fights could be made.

    Also Pena is a scumbag -

    Cowboy was fined for interfering with his 'uniform' after sewing a patch from his old shorts into them as a tribute to his grandmother. 3 other fighters also fined and another few received warnings.

    What an absolute load of bollix.

    They're all gonna go get that Univision money when their contracts end. I reckon Bendo is on the way there, Sterling is heading there. I think Diaz's contract is up soon, he's running there if they give him a decent contract.

    Interesting times.

    They need a union,the exclusive reebok deals the stars with the pull have is whats stopping a proper revolt against the whole reebok thing,they have ring girls worth more than fighters who risk their health absolute joke the ufc is I'd love to see every fighter on a card refuse to wear it.

    If Fitch and co win that class action law suit and they get the Muhammad Ali Boxing Reform Act is applied to MMA the roof gets blown off the whole thing.

    Diaz ban to be reduced to 18 months and back dated.... So essentially he's back in 5 months. That seems to be what's getting thrown around.

    When does the Reebok deal expire? It really is awful and the longer it goes on it just gets even worse

    That and he has more earning potential at Bellator, which is ridiculous.

    Cowboy said the fine is big 'think of a number, then double it'. He also said he'll continue to wear the patch and keep paying the five :)

    Looks like Nate Diaz getting fined as well for wearing jeans to the weigh in.

    Reebok is hands down the worst thing the UFC have done.

    The buildup to Cruz/Dillashaw has been fiery. Really hope Cruz beats him. Can't stand Dillashaw.

    I'm sure that secretly Dana is pissed at Reebok.

    The uniforms are dreadful, the endless cock ups like misspelt names and the legendary Irish shirt are embarrassing, and the backlash from all angles is endless. I'd say if he could roll back the clock he would never have signed it.

    Sounded good on paper, but the delivery has been terrible.

    I remember a number of us debating the Reebok deal when it was announced. I don't think even those of us most ardently against thought it would be this disastrous.

    Relativey it's not much money. After another year or two I would be happy to hear the UFC end the deal and pay the contract off.

    I could listen to Cruz talk about fighting every day of the week. He's so intelligent about the game. I say he regains that belt that he hasn't actually lost remember, and continues to put a beating on the division before retiring and replacing Rogan as the colour commentator.

    If Joe doesn't renew his contract when it runs out in August I can see Onnit starting a fight team out of Austin shortly afterwards.

    He said on a podcast before that they only reason they hadn't already done it is because it would be a conflict of interests for Rogan.

    Fight nights in Zagreb and Rotterdam announced thought it was a misprint but I think both events are actually on a Sunday.
