Can't wait for UFC 217!

And is there any news on Robbie Whittaker?

Won't be fighting until next year because of his knee and the Bisping/GSP fight

I know he has started boxing again, not sure about grappling

Looking good.

Hope Whittaker sits and waits for his shot. Rockhold vs Romero should be for next in line.

Sits and waits? He's the champ. He should be fighting the other champ now, not gsp.

Of course. No chance Dana flip flops again on the GSP fight though is there. Plus he should make sure his knee is 100% right.

Sorry, I read it as the winner of Rockhold v Romero gets the next shot at Bisping. My mistake

Condit v Magny confirmed for 219, hes back baby

Not sure how I feel about Condit coming back.

Seemed the main reason he left was he was having bad concussion symptoms. Hope he is over them.

 

[Barry Roundhouse]

How good is that!

Hunt dropped from UFC Sydney. Werdum vs Tybura now main event. Judging by Hunt's instagram this is not improving his opinion of Dana..

 

[Barry Roundhouse]

Well this is going to be a big story. How can they pull him against his will, after he signed a contract?

 

[Quivorir]

Good. The bloke is a ****wit. Piss off Mark.

Goodbye Hunt, Not the smartest bloke in the world

 

[Barry Roundhouse]

Hunt is a dickhead but I love watching him fight. His career resurgence has been nothing short of remarkable.

It seems that interview he did has given the UFC reason to pull him but that is NOT the reason they have. It is certainly the law suit.

They have just resigned Condit to fight who made very similar remarks, continue giving Gomi fights, continued giving Bigfoot fights long after he was ****ed.

He has every right to be fuming.

 

[Quivorir]

Not to mention GSP who has visits with aliens and has admitted he misses hours in most days.

 

[bkozican]

Hunt will be at Bellator soon

 

[phantom13]

Didn't they sign hunt for this after his lawsuit was filed? Happy to be proven wrong but I can't see why they would do that then pull him later? He has every right to be pissed but I think the UFC just thinks he is more trouble than he is worth and I can sort of understand that.

"If I could fight every three months, I would do that," Werdum said. "My idea is October and December and three more times in 2018. I want to fight. I don't want to be waiting. Hunt was never one to talk trash, but I think he wants to get that win back. I don't know, but I have to think about everything. Australia has other fees to pay. It's very far away. I'd have to adapt to the climate... I don't even know why Hunt spoke of it." - Fabricio Werdum less than a month ago on why he didn't want the Hunt rematch in Aus.

Even tagged Dana in his post

 

[Barry Roundhouse]

At 1:10. GSP looking thic as ****.

Jose Aldo vs Ricardo Lamas added to the UFC Fox card on Dec 16 in Canada.

Good fight to see where Jose is at.

Feel like we are heading towards a big, exciting end of the year for the UFC and MMA in general

 

[Dan]

That upcoming fight night card in Canada is looking good.
