    The UFC will want to put her into the title picture right away. Holly Holm would be the second option. Cyborg a distant third.

    I like Daley and hate Kos... this could be good or disappointing again.

    Yeah. All depends on whether Kos's legs still have some drive left in them. Daley is tough to take down on a good day. If Kos can't get him and keep him down he's going to get his lights put out.

    I don't know where Koscheck's heart is at when it comes to fighting these days.

    Wandy's probably going to fight when his suspension is up, or sooner in Japan or Russia.

    Chris Lytle wants to come out of retirement to fight him.

    Anthony Pettis has left Roufusport to train with Greg Jackson full time. Not sure if this means his brother will as well.

    Good move for him to get his career back on track.

    Jackson is a genius

    The UFC looking to add women's flyweight (125-lbs.) next.

    Great, let's take two shallow divisions and water them down even more.

    I thought we'd see minimumweight (100-lbs.) first.

    They both look huge.

    Any rumors on Nicks' comeback?

    His suspension is up in August, IIRC.

    He's said he only wants 'big' fights.

    His return coincides with the return of Yoel Romero which would be a fascinating fight. Rory MacDonald is another option if he beats Wonderboy since Rory would still be a fight away from a title shot, perhaps.

    Him and Michael Bisping had a little exchange after the Silva fight but I think the consensus is that Mike will fight the winner of Rockhold/Weidman, possibly in NYC.

    Robbie Lawler vs. Tyron Woodley is the headliner for UFC 201.

    No word yet on whether this is going to be the same card as McGregor/Diaz 2 or if that fight is still happening.

    Which means the FW belt won't be defended until at least November/December. But with the annual NYE card around the corner, I suspect Aldo/McGoat II will headline that.

    See what I did there ?
