    Francis Ngannou vs. Andrei Arlovski added to UFC Denver

    Arlovski is a badass. Such a risky fight.

    Woodley says he's defending at UFC 209.

    No word yet whether it is against Wonderboy, Maia, or other.

    Scott Coker is negotiating with Ryan Bader. Seems likely he will sign given that he's beaten Phil Davis previously.

    Lorenz Larkin also seems likely to sign with Bellator given his history with Coker.

    Anderson Silva wants a title shot against Michael Bisping.

    I'd be fine with it if a) there wasn't a backlog of contenders and b) he wasn't going on five years winless.

    DFW & Ari spotted buttering up deputy mayor of Moscow over possible event. Russia is a huge market for the UFC that they have had difficulty breaking into.

    Word is they wanted guys already in the UFC and none of them wanted to do it.

    The Bad Guy claims that Hughes/Liddell were making $30k/month flying to shows and generally doing jack shit as "athlete development leads" or something for the UFC.

    How about actually giving guys pensions instead?

    So apparently the ufc offered aldo an interim lw title belt against someone. And that someones dad told him not to fight aldo (obviously khabib).

    This came about because max doesnt want to fight at 208 (cant blame him, thats a quick turnaround).

    Ufc is probably using aldo as leverage against fergusons contract demands.

    Interesting though. I guess khabib will turn down fights.

    Helwani said he talked to his sources and this pretty much checks out too.

    I honestly have no idea what the UFC is doing.

    We're getting so far removed from 'sport' right now it's like the titles are meaningless.

    Tony won't fight Khabib unless the UFC gives him a new, big money contract.

    Makes total sense. Either give him a title fight or pay him. He stands to lose so much against Khabib.

    Lol @ khabib saying he wants a real battle. What a crock of shit.

    Aldo would give him a great fight and he isn't a little guy.
