    On account of it being a missed foul and not a misinterpreted or improperly utilized rule, Cisco Rivera's loss to Urijah Faber, spurred by a serious but accidental eye-poke, will not be overturned by the NSAC. It actually seems like their hands are tied with this one and overturning the result would be overreaching their authority. Sucks for Rivera, though.

    Jim Ross doesn't think Brock Lesnar will return to the UFC after all. Lesnar has "health and concussion issues" and Team DeathClutch hasn't heard anything from Lesnar that would indicate he wants to get the band back together.

    This is the problem with the over saturation of fights.

    You have a big fight, you announce it...oh wait, its 5 months away !? Fuck that shit. Look at this potential Mayweather/Pacman fight. Rumored for May 2, not even official yet. I like that. A 3 month time period is perfect.

    For the record,

    Rory MacDonald vs. Robbie Lawler will be the co-main event at UFC 189 on July 11.

    Conor McGregor vs Jose Aldo will be the main event.

    God, please let this card stay healthy. Conor has moved the needle and placed the lower weight class above the higher one.

    Pretty obvious Conor moves Dana and Lorenzo's needles from six to twelve every time his name is brought up.

    Speaking of PEDs we're still going to see Weidman/Belfort, likely at UFC 187

    Arlovski vs. Browne in mid-May. Nervous for AA.

    Hard to believe but Phil Davis' last fight on his contract was with Ryan Bader. Not the best way to earn a new one. No word yet on what will happen with him.

    UFC 187

    MW Champion Chris Weidman vs Vitor Belfort (I believe this was announced as the headliner?)
    LHW Champion Jon Jones vs Anthony Johnson
    Donald Cerrone vs Khabib Nurmagomedov
    Travis Browne vs Andrei Arlovski
    Joseph Benavidez vs John Moraga

    Are you serious !? Please if one card stays healthy...let this be the one!

    With injuries and PED's robbing us of 1/3 fights lately they need to do this more often. Not necessarily multiple title fights on one card but at least six or seven very good and consequential fights.

    Knock on wood, obviously, but every UFC title is scheduled to be defended between UFC 184 and UFC 189, a span of less than six months. Four of the six cards have multiple title fights.

    Trying to get all of them in before the new drug testing starts up or just a coincidence?

    Rousey tells a reporter fighters should get paid more than ring card girls (some should, some shouldn't, IMO), Arianny says she works hard and gets paid less than Rousey thinks, Rousey says Arianny gets more plastic surgery every time a new ring card girl is hired. Why is the women's champion feuding with a bikini model? If she thinks ring card girls are sexist (they are) she should just say that. No reason to go after Arianny personally. Arianny might not be an A+ but Rousey is a C in more ways than one.
