    Sorry for all the event threads. I've got a busy couple of months coming up and am trying to get ahead of the game.

    Big test that I think Stipe will pass.

    He has to avoid Junior's power..If JDS does win, I think it will be by a late 2nd round TKO/KO or 3rd round TKO/KO. I'll be pulling for Stipe.

    I can see it go down as a boxing match, so as long as Stipe is smart he will be okay because he is the better technical boxer (I think). We'll see at UFC 173 if my assumptions are true.

    DFW has basically shut Jon Jones up...the next 3 LHW title fights are already planned out pending major injuries/rematches, etc..

    Jones/Glover winner will fight Gus, and the winner of that fight will fight Cormier.

    I hope Jones loses any of them. Can't stand him anymore.

    Jones had a little Twitter spat with Tyson Griffin. Twitter flame wars leave everyone looking worse but Jones came off, if you can believe it, as kind of a dick.

    Holly Holm is closing in on a UFC deal. Hopefully they don't rush her into the title picture.

    Michael Johnson was rebuffed in his efforts to get a fight with Khabib Nurmagomedov so he's set his sights on estranged UFC lightweight Nate Diaz.

    “UFC Fight Night: Henderson vs. Khabilov” will take place June 7 at Tingley Coliseum, ABQ, NM.

    Good place for Holm to debut.

    Here are the rankings for WW.

    Champion : Johny Hendricks
    1 Robbie Lawler +2
    2 Rory MacDonald +2
    3 Carlos Condit -1
    4 Tyron Woodley +7
    5 Jake Ellenberger
    6 Hector Lombard +6
    7 Matt Brown +1
    8 Demian Maia -1
    9 Tarec Saffiedine
    10 Dong Hyun Kim
    11 Jake Shields -5
    12 Mike Pyle +1
    13 Kelvin Gastelum *NR
    14 Gunnar Nelson *NR
    15 Erick Silva *NR

    One would assume Rory Mac is in line for the next shot.

    And how is Woodley not ranked over Condit after just beating him?

    Duane Ludwig out as head coach of Team Alpha Male. Ludwig had a one-year contract and is now looking to open his own gym in Sacramento. TAM is looking for a new head coach and apparently UFC veteran Mark Hominick is a candidate, among others.

    The UFC is no longer interested in Team Jackson standout Holly Holm after Dana White cut-off negotiations with her manager saying he doesn't care for him. Holm is thought to be the best striker in WMMA along with Cris Santos who, incidentally, was randomly tested by the NSAC this week (she passed) in advance of her upcoming kickboxing bout.
