    reckon Dana will be happy to see the back of him though!

    was being overlooked for not being exciting but when he got a fight which may have been a title eliminator he got finished

    He ought to do very well in bellator though

    I don't think he was on a losing streak was he?

    Won 5 then got finished by Jan.

    Cody also getting the next 125 title shot, the divisions a shambles.

    Watched Dana White's Contender Series for the first time there and thoroughly enjoyed it, admittedly fast forwarded through the Build Ups to the Fights. Thought your young fella Rodriguez deserved to beat Rivera although two judgds scored it 30 27 to Rivera!

    Agreed, thought the cards were weird in that fight.

    The Serbian lad looks a decent prospect. I'll be keeping an eye out.

    I noticed a nice little thing on Fight Pass today. They have a little "Cramming" section where they've listed the regional fights of the fighters on next week's episode. Nice little touch.

    No love dropping down to 125 in November to fight for the title.

    He is 1-5 in his last 6 fights. with the win been over gastelum. then lost to souza but if my memory serves me right i think he looked good in that fight and was 20-18 going into the 3rd round. last outing was a first round tko to reyes who some believe beat jones. I think win or lose he might be ok but it could depend on how many fights he has left on his contract.

    I think Cody should make 125 pretty easily, he is a tiny guy and has never been 'shredded' as in he has always carried a few extra pounds of fat on his frame.

    But then again it will be miserable

    Ten less pounds against a guy who can explode his chin every bit the way TJ and Munhoz did too. Risky fight for a guy building back up.

    One of his fights against Dillashaw was in California where they weight the fighters on fight night and release the weights to the public (this should really be done for every card as it is interesting as fúck) but from what I remember both Cejudo and Mighty Mouse weight more or less the same as Cody. There was a couple of Flyweights who actually weighed a few pounds more than him.

    If they can make the cut then Cody should be able to as well.

    weidman might be the one guy that makes Luke look good again

    If that's isn't the most obvious fight for both I don't know what is.

    Robbie Lawler steps in to fight Neil Magny on Aug. 29 with Neal out. Amazing fight, can't wait for that. Big Magny fan since I met him at MSG a few years ago. Really nice guy, this could launch him up the rankings.

    Huge Lawler fan but at this point in their careers I think Magny takes it.

    Rockhold v Gastelum is all I'd put forward for either, both had great runs and fallen off the tracks.

    PVZ turned down the Bellator offer and signed with Bare Knuckle Boxing. Jaysus.

    Stipe is easily one of the most down to earth fighters on the roster.

    I used to like him but the more episodes of Embedded and Countdown etc that I see him on the more I dislike him.
