    Would love to see this again. I think Rose takes the rematch as she won't be trying for armbars mid slam. She'll rightly respect Andrade's grappling a bit more but be confident enough to know how well she was doing last time before the slam.

    Will Rose be ok going back to New York after her terrifying experience last time out?

    Woodly v Edwards seems to be done too. That will be an interesting one.

    Thought he beat Whitaker to be honest so no problem with this.

    Is Till going fighting cannonier in March now Whitaker is out ?

    It's like a comment I saw about holly holm
    "holly is 2 losses away from a title shot"

    i have no issue with yoel getting a title shot. i believe like many that he beat whittaker in the second fight. plus costa is out for a long time after bicep surgery.

    izzy wants to be active and i cant see anyone else who would get a title shot.

    maybe cannonier if he had of beat whittaker but thats been scraped

    really cant wait to see how izzy does against yoel

    It is a bit.
    He’s ranked 3. The guys he lost to are 1 and 2, but they’re both out. So it kinda makes sense.

    Aldo looks to run her close, The powers that be are apparently engaging to book him to take on Cejudo at UFC250 he has chalked up those 2 losses in a row in fairness so hard to argue really :pac:

    Yeah I saw that on ESPN. Apparently Cejudo keen on fighting him in Brazil and the money men want it to happen.

    I reckon Izzy knows he'll fight him at some stage. If that fight happened in a year or two people would say he beat an old Yoel (if he won). They probably will anyway.

    He was absolutely robbed in the last fight on the cards, was a joke of a decision.

    Disagree. I think aldo lost and deserved to lose. Although it was tight. No way a robbery.

    That's absolutely laughable.
    I'm a fan of women's MMA but get a grip.
    Jessica Eye, Pena, Gadelha, Ansaroff shouldn't even be on that list anywhere.
    Holly Holm over McGregor, Holloway, Ferguson etc.

    Zhang at #3??? She's had about 4 UFC fights. It's a joke!

    The most offensive part is the fact that she's #3, despite being behind two people in joint second! Should clearly be fourth!

    Edit: Oh, it's men and women seperate AND together. My bad.

    Men and Women have always been on the one list. Which made no sense.
    Separate them onto two lists is makes a lot more sense.

    Holm is on the womens list. McGregor is on the mens list. :confused:

    Ok maybe on 2nd viewing I've read it wrong. But if they are separate men/women's lists why even amalgamate them like this.

    Very much doubt I'm the only one who found it confusing.

    Click the link I posted, the UFC ranking page. The lists are completely separate.
    The screenshot above was probably when it was being updated to separate lists.
    Kinda clickbately to the guy to pretend that's how it's suppsoed to look. But that's "media" I guess. All about the clicks.

    Really ? he's never fought anyone of any calibre in MMA and just constantly calls out lads who aren't even in the same organization as him , He's 27 this summer and had 2 fights against cans,

    Oh sure, I don't have his tshirt or anything!

    Spose I mean Id be interested to see him progress and if his BJJ is as good as they say.

    I do like a good trash talker though.
