    Regarding Henderson he lost against pettis rda and cowboy in a fight I thought he won. Suddenly he was 12 or 13. It's almost like they wanted rid of him

    Smashed thatch and beat masvidal is his last two, didn't see him going myself he was still a big enough draw.

    Those are interpreted by the media anyways it was 12 or 13 ranked in the WW division where he moved since the Thatch fight.

    I found him painfully boring as a fighter I have to say and know I'm not the only one, proposing to his GF after scraping a split decision after one of his fights was just embarrassing. Thought he beat Cowboy too but was delighted when he didn't get the nod :D

    What's interesting is Benson seems to have been around in UFC for yonks but 4 times is all he appeared on their PPV (3 of those times fighting for a title).

    Let's be honest he is mainly gonna be known as the guy who received the showtime kick in the last ever WEC event.

    UFC 198 now has

    Werdum v Miocic
    Jacare v Vitor
    Silva v Hall
    Shogun v Anderson
    Maia v Brown
    and possibly Zingano v Cyborg

    Great card. Anderson against Uriah Hall is a strange one though. Anderson doesn't really gain anything by beating Hall, Where as if Hall wins everyone will say Anderson is finished.

    Aw man i really like Zingano, do not want to see her get wrecked by cyborg. Would that be at 135 or 145 to test FW waters?

    Zigano? Wow she's the last person I'd be putting in front of Cyborg. She's been out a year after a bizzare showing verses Ronda.

    Cain v Browne looking likely for UFC 200. It's going to give me so much pleasure watching Cain punch Browne's lights out.

    You would think that's exactly who the UFC would want to feed Cyborg. Build up Cyborg for a potential Rousey (or Tate) showdown.

    Cyborg v Ronda will never happen IMO. Cyborg just can't make 135 without destroying herself and Ronda's not going to fight her at 140.

    The belt is at 135 which was the main stumbling block I would've thought Ronda hasn't got that now.

    So of Cyborg does fight in the UFC you reckon it would be catchweight?

    Also Mousasi was campaigning for a big fight well looks like he may have got more than he bargained for rumored bout with Derek Brunson seems slated for 200 too.

    Strong rumours that the UFC will be sold to Chinese investors according to Jonathan Snowden

    https://twitter.com/JESnowden/status/710510170061799424

    Jeremy Botter was saying something similar earlier in the year.

    The brothers have been trying to sell it for about 2 years now. Was talk of Yahoo! and then FOX buying it, but neither happened.

    Why would the Fertittas want to sell? Surely it's still a cash machine for them?

    I like Uriah Hall and Anderson Silva but as a match up I am not excited for it at all. I thought they would have waited for Belfort/Souza to play out first and then give Silva the winner for that at UFC 200 or a future Brazilian show.

    Just checking start times for the UFC tomorrow night and not sure if it's been discussed yet but what's the story with all the prelims being on Fight Pass?

    Now, I'm not complaining because there's some good fights on there but why have Ross Pearson/Laprise as the second overall fight rather than leading him into the main card?

    If the fights are on Fight Pass anyway, it shouldn't make much of a difference unless they're doing it for the supposed benefit of European/UK fans to watch him?
