    TJ Dillashaw wants to bet Dom Cruz $100,000 he'll beat him in the rematch.

    Cody Garbrandt chimed in to say that TJ hasn't been the same since USADA.

    Dilon Danis tweeted out a picture with McGregor. McGoat looked very lean. Is he going to be defending his title?

    Id love to see it. Will brooks is campaigning for Johnson. I would love to see that too. Want to see Brooks against better competition.

    Will Brooks should be trying to fight Khabib.

    The UFC are working on a fight between Khabib and Dennis Bermudez. Sounds like a great fight. I guess with having RDA booked to fight Tony Ferguson they don't have a lot of options.

    I think Brooks would be a higher level opponent. So would Jose Aldo if he was willing to jump up.

    Apparently Jose Aldo has asked for his contract termination?

    “After all of this, I see I can’t trust a single word from president Dana White and that the person in charge of the event now is Conor McGregor,” Aldo said. “Since I’m not here to be McGregor’s employee, I ask for my contract with the UFC to be terminated.

    “When they suggested the fight against Frankie Edgar, Dana said the winner of this fight would either be McGregor’s challenger or have the linear belt, because if he didn’t return to the featherweight division after the Nate Diaz rematch he’d lose the belt.

    “After so many times being lied to, I don’t feel motivated to fight in the UFC anymore.”

    It's not like White and the UFC have a history of turning their backs on longtime champions or anything...

    Aldo is one of the GOAT's of MMA.

    He's also one of the guys who has openly complained about the way the UFC does business for a few years.

    So on the one hand you have a guy who deserves whatever he asks for and on the other you have a history of pettiness from the UFC working against him.

    Dude should be trying to figure out how to fight Dom Cruz, Khabib, BJ Penn, GSP-- making some bank and retiring.

    McGregor is so deep in his head he should be paying rent.

    Jose Aldo, for whatever reason, says that GSP asked for $10-million for a Conor McGregor superfight and the UFC balked.

    Pretty sure GSP vs. McGregor, as lopsided as it would be, would sell 2-million PPV's. That's $55-million or so gross for the UFC.

    Gusto has withdrawn from his fight with Little Nog; replaced by Bader.

    Helwani: UFC is leaning towards Linekar/Garbrandt and Cruz/Dillashaw 2

    I like it. Give Garbandt another stiff test before throwing him in there with Cruz and give Dillashaw a rematch for a close fight.

    Caraway is trying to sneak into this mini tournament. He wants to fight Lineker.

    Nate Diaz has been given a warning by USADA for his vaping post-UFC 202. Who cares?
