    Pettis is 1-3 in his last four. Holloway has won nine straight. If Aldo is fighting his opponent should be Holloway.

    I don't like Holloway/Edgar because there is no reason for Edgar to be blocking his route to a title shot.

    Alvarez/McGregor expected to be announced tonight

    Hoping they do something like Aldo/Holloway for the proper title on the same card. The UFC have been pretty adamant about not allowing McGregor to potentially hold up two belts.

    The UFC isn't going to strip their biggest star of his title.

    Bit of a shocker-- Al Iaquinta has withdrawn. He is unhappy with his contract. The UFC has made some concessions for him in the past. I don't think this will end well.

    Lol @ Al Iaquinta withdrawing because he's unhappy with his contract. I don't think DFW cares. He has to be getting annoyed with all of these B-level and C-level UFC fighters (yes, they may be B/A level fighters elsewhere) trying to pull a Conor/Ronda/Nate and demand more money.

    I think its good for the UFC; its time fighters start demanding more pay. All of this is only going to help lead to a fighters union and bigger purses. Hopefully they can get out of that horrid Reebok deal.

    Al signed his contract before the Reebok deal. He was expecting to supplement his fighting income with sponsorship money which he now isn't getting. So I am sympathetic.

    What he said about Joe Silva screaming at his manager and threatening them is about par for what I've head about Silva. He was more feared than White because he really was the guy to make or break a fighter's career.

    Hopefully Boris is making some headway.

    My first thought is that he's playing hardball with McGregor but...
