    Expect to see several more fights added in the next week or so. I'm sure they have bout agreements signed already and are just waiting to announce.

    Have you boughten any ufc apparel recently? If so, what do you think of the quality.

    Planning on buying my wife a red panty night t shirt and myself a notorious conor McGregor shirt for the fight.

    I have owned a bunch of shirts over the last decade or so but all of them were prizes or giveaways. I've had Dethrone, Silver Star, FORM, TapOut, Scramble, and official UFC. MMA brands come and go so I don't know if my experiences are current.

    The best articles I had were Anderson Silva's UFC 117 Walkout T from Silver Star (very nice stretchy cotton blend material, lasted a long time before succumbing to deodorant damage) and my Scramble rashguard (Coffee & Chokes long sleeve, great as a baselayer as well). I still have a Michael MacDonald Dethrone t-shirt but the cotton material has become rougher over time. I also have a black Urijah Faber (plain) FORM shirt that is holding up. I don't know if FORM became Torque or if they are different brands. I don't think FORM is around anymore. I don't think Silver Star is either, for that matter.

    I had a UFC brand shirt from the UFC 92 weigh-ins. It was a freebie and not something that was very good quality but this was some years ago I suppose.

    The worst was TapOut. Bad fit, coarse cotton, oddly tight collar. Wouldn't recommend without trying it on.

    Not sure if any of this helps. If it is Reebok gear you could probably compare it to their typical apparel in store as it will be the same. If it is UFC brand look for reviews.

    Why Michael Johnson, who has lost two fights?

    Ferguson is the back up for either RDA or McGregor. If one of those guys goes down he'll step in. He'll fight Johnson otherwise and then be next for the LW champ if he wins.

    I didn't realize Siver is pushing ten years in the UFC, now.

    It would be a good match-up for Penn. Siver is a decent striker and Penn can test himself on the feet if he wants. He will have an advantage on the mat but Siver isn't easy to take down.

    Penn/Siver expected to be moved to UFC 197. Point for Nik Lentz who predicted that Penn wouldn't be ready this soon.

    I thought I read that it was the UFC that wanted to move Penn back to 197, not Penn?

    I wonder if RDA will bull rush Conor the way he rushed Cerrone. If so, I expect Conor to land some counter shots that could end the fight quickly.

    Sanchez/Miller to headline Fight Pass prelims. Lame.

    Pretty shit televised and pay-per-view card if not for two of the biggest main events of the year.

    Frank Edgar can't go.

    Nate Diaz and Donald Cerrone both being considered.
