Has there been any updates if UFC and BT Sports will renew their broadcast deal? It's meant to end next week but haven't heard anything off a new agreement

The fact Eir are promoting the UFC on BT I would imagine they have retained the rights.

I'm delighted. Wonder what he's weighing now.

He'll add a bit of character to things that's for sure

Probably shouldn't be near the top contenders at either MW/LHW, but some fights against others near their end like Rashad Evans 2, or Rampage when he comes back to the UFC would be fun fights

Even Anderson for a 3rd time would be interesting to watch

Will always love Chael, when he went around with the fake belt after the first Silva fight will stick with me forever.

Would watch a there of those fights and be happy with them, for my choice I'm gonna say he's fighting Kennedy.

Coujd you imagine the craic at press conferences etc if him and mcgregor were on the same card

Does chael not get the Brock exemption?

He maybe could, ie be treated as his new fighter, if it wasnt for his past drug failures. In his case a clean test history would probably be a condition of his licensing. That was common even pre USADA

I've been following it for a while now and nobody knows. My contract is up the start of August so id like to know if i should keep BT or dump it. The only thing ive seen that would make me think BTSport has the contract. BTSport are still promoting the UFC and on the UFC site says BTSport has 201 & 202. James Elliot said last month they have made a decision on the TV rights. Ive no idea why there dragging it on and not telling anybody.

Anyone know when they'll announce the date for 204? Maybe during Holm Shevchenko or 201 perhaps?

the 8th of october? might be a bit late to make the announcement

Belal Muhammad (9-1-0) vs. Augusto Montano (15-2-0); UFC Fight Night 94, September 17.

Looking forward to this, Muhammads last fight was a cracker and I have high hopes for Montano even if he did get sparked.

Jon Jones' NFL playing brother popped for PED's.

I'd blame the hormones in the family dinner so.

22-07-2016 9:29pm

SevereMMA reporting that Dan Henderson said 204 would be announced within the next 48 hours. Maybe during the Chicago card then.

Looking forward to seeing those RyanAir flights skyrocket!

Hope they don't follow Helwani on Twitter, haven't booked anything yet but he'll more than likely break the news first, so I could steal a march on O'Leary!

Looks like it's definitely October and the 8th seems to fit in with the other numbered cards.

That's the one, I was thinking of a completely different fighter though in Augusto Mendes which I never copped wasn't him.

Nate Diaz gonna be on Conan o Brien next week, should be hilarious.

Depends how high he is, he can get to the point that he won't talk.

To be fair to you, for that price there's no risk really. You were dead right.

Yeah I figured it's 20 quid so feck it. 6 of us booked. Looks like theres already a fight night on either side of the 8th so fingers crossed.

I don't know, at his age it's probably best to stay retired unless they match him up versus some other veterans. He popped for 6 different things, a record that will probably never be broken. Everything from HGH, EPO, anti-estrogen, test. I'm surprised his piss didn't melt the container. How can he expect to be at any sort of high level after 2 years out and being off the sauce?
