    It should be entertaining. Cat always brings it, plus they have to make some attempt to build this division.

    Big fight for that division. What did you think of Anderson against Holm?

    Holm wrecked her despite being very small in comparison. I'd expect Zingano to do the same.

    You don't think Anderson will have learned sufficiently in the meantime?

    Nurmagomedov beat McGregor in mixed martial arts in Las Vegas last weekend before calling out Mayweather, who says the fight must take place in the Nevada city.

    "Oh, we fighting. He called me out. So, he gotta come to my world," Mayweather, 41, told TMZ Sports.

    "I'm my own boss. So, I can't say what's going on on Khabib's end. But, on my end, we can make it happen.

    "When I face Khabib I'm getting a nine-figure payday. It's more than the McGregor fight. Probably 100m US dollars more, guaranteed.

    "I'm going to say somewhere between 110m and 200m US dollars guaranteed."

    It won't happen, it;s just Floyd being Floyd.
    If it did happen he'd just tool Khabib up as badly as he did Conor.

    Floyd's going to be pretty busy so as he's also said he's re-matching with Pac Man

    Watching a video on DC's first day of camp for 230 and it opens with him coaching a kids for his wrestling school.

    How could anyone not love that man?

    I thought she did well on the feet and was hitting Holly a lot. The fact that Holly kept taking her down where Megan is not that strong yet was proof of that.

    One piece of news that went unnoticed this year was that Cormier became his local high school's wrestling coach and he is doing it for free. His pay is going to the assistant coaches for the school. And as Rogan pointed out before the last Jones fight the parents of a lot of those kids in that class can't afford the fees so Daniel himself paid them which is such a nice thing to do.

    Recently rewatched DC v GUS and JJ v GUS,two unreal fights.
    The pressuring from DC was relentless.

    Me too. Great fight. The fire kid needs a big performance.

    232 is a banger of a card. The end of year card is always one of my favourites of the year, great to see it back to form this year compared to last year's.

    No

    I've stopped believing in Condit a long time ago I'm afraid.

    Love Carlos and thought he was robbed by the judges in the Robbie fight, but since then every fight has been like his heart isn't in it anymore. Overly cautious, no aggression, no slick striking and combination work. Just trying to not get hit.

    He needs to hang them up.

    Carlos going through a rough time now for a few years. But he has been in with some killers. Chiesa looked awful in his last two fights...

    Well Chiesa was cutting a ****-tonne of weight in fairness, that only gets harder the more you do it. Excited to see how he looks at 170, it’s a hard one to call IMO.

    Problem is his Twitter account is probably getting tonnes of traffic for this, and his article is probably (l haven't read it) getting thousands of extra clicks.

    Don't feed the trolls. It's what they want.

    Seems like every year there's one card that is just cursed, the MSG one is definitely the one this year.

    Talks of Weidman v Jacare which makes sense

    Is no one having a bit of Costa stepping up? He could either catapult himself into the title picture or be thoroughly outclassed.
