    With Conor's word vs. UFC's word you know its somewhere in between. Conor probably did offer to fight Frankie on short notice....for an absurd amount...and the UFC realized they couldn't market it in time (I don't believe that shit, though)...and it probably would have ended up being a catchweight fight because I can't see Conor making 145 on shortish notice.

    Conor will be stripped and come back to fight NATE and then he will probably fight for a title that he vacated. I think Conor tries to go back to 145. I think he pieces up Max again.

    Speaking of TAM, Chad Mendes is off suspension in June, surprised we haven't heard about a fight for him, or maybe I missed it?

    New rumour is that Conor offered (to the UFC) to fight Frankie but at 165-lbs. (presumably since he was out of camp, no regard for Edgar fighting 20-lbs. above his class) for the new super lightweight/jr. welterweight title. Great, have the guy hold up three divisions. No wonder the UFC balked.

    Bellator 200 from London will feature Carvalho vs Mousasi for the MW Championship and David Rickels facing Michael Page who continues to run from Paul Daley.

    Moose is on a six-fight streak during which he's beaten only quality fighters and yet he feels like he lost all his momentum in that fight with Storm.

    Enormous step up in competition for Carvalho who hasn't faced a ranked opponent (!!!) despite being their MW champion.

    Amazon will start streaming UFC pay-per-view events. Same price ($65) but... better than UFC's app or YouTube? I don't know.

    Shame that they are still charging so much when the cable provider cut isn't even a factor. I guess they can't undercut their own cable business?

    Step up that will be even harder because I get the feeling Carvalho will be fighting in front of a very pro-Mousasi crowd in London. I feel like he will have a bit of a home field advantage there.

    I feel like Reem is in the same area Hunt was in. Better knock Blaydes out quickly or it will be a relatively easy ground and pound win. The only difference is I could see Curtis finishing Overeem in the late 2nd or 3rd.

    Bellator have booked Roy Nelson vs. Cro Cop for their 200th show.

    Bellator is also looking to book Wand vs. Rampage 4 for a show in Brazil. Wand is going to be juiced to the gills for that one.

    Bellator acting like it's still 2007 in 2018...

    While Bellator is at it maybe they can give us Griffin vs Bonnar 3.

    Not really a surprise but Brian Ortega has claimed the top contender spot from Frankie Edgar and will be the next one to face Max Holloway (whenever he's ready).

    Luke Rockhold is trying to get a third fight with Michael Bisping (who is responsive so far).

    DFW is considering pulling the plug on the much-not-anticipated Nunes/Pennington bout and swapping Cyborg back in.

    They may as well do the Cyborg/Nunes fight. Neither girl really has a challenger in their division that anyone wants to see.

    Darren Till sees that his route to the title goes through RDA so he's challenged him.

    RDA could easily pass on this and wait for T-Wood but that might be a while.
