    Cormier will defend his belt against Rumble on December 10th, in Toronto.

    Cain Velasquez will rematch Werdum at UFC 207.

    Pettis wants on the Toronto card and has called out Nate Diaz and Halloway.

    Interestingly enough, DC / Rumble II was not announced as the main event...GSP, your move.

    How about Jones/Gustafsson 2 as the co-main?

    Jones/Gusto II sounds perfect.

    BJPenn.com reporting that GSP will make a major announcement next week; they speculate a 206 fight. With Nick Diaz' ominous tweet last week; could they be rematching?

    Is anyone else (lol, or one of the five other people that visits this sub) as disinterested in this fight as I am?

    Having it on PPV almost guarantees it will be a three rounder, too.

    lol, hey we are a strong extremely tight knit little MMA community. Denny ignores us.

    I don't care to see the fight again.

    Although I think that's a fucking ludicrous fight for GSP to take after a three year absence. Ali had two tune-ups before fighting Joe Frazier right after his suspension and still lost.

    Yes I am absolutely equating the two fights and fighters.

    Daniel Cormier apparently knows how much GSP is asking for to return and doesn't think it is a "deal breaker."

    Ariel Helwani reporting that the rumour of GSP/Ando is just a rumour and has no substance.

    Translation: Georges doesn't want to fight at the price we are giving him.

    Possible:

    - Rousey gets her shit pushed in by Nunes and quits MMA for good
    - McGregor takes a year or two off
    - Jones gets a suspension and can't return soon

    And they are lowballing GSP. Unreal.

    Should mention that GSP being represented by CAA is probably the main problem. He's a Pepsi guy in a Coke league.

    BTW Pepsi is an obscure slur for French Canadians in Canada but that is not what I meant.

    I have nothing to confirm it, but I've always had a suspicion that DFW just doesn't like GSP because he isn't a flash KO artist or outlandish star. Even in his prime, I felt DFW didn't like GSP...and my uninformed guess is that that disdain is playing a lot in his reluctancy to compromise with GSP here. I mean FFS, I'm not even a GSP fan; but I want to see him back in the octagon. I feel he has that right after his reign of title defenses; he should be able to come back and have a shot @ the #1 contender or the title if he wanted it.
