    Michele Waterson supposedly next in line for a title shot. Rumoured to be on the 210/211 card as the co-main.

    WFLW and MFLW both suffer from the same problem--rushing fighters into title fights due to dearth of talent in the division.

    Waterson doesn't stand much of a chance, IMHO.

    Gegard Mousasi is concerned that he won't be able to travel to the United States due to the ban. There aren't clear rules for dual citizens (he's Iranian born but raised in the Netherlands).

    All UFC athletes have been summoned to a retreat in Las Vegas in May for what is presumably a speech on why unions are bad and scary.

    Nate & Nick have both been offered fights. Neither will respond.

    Dealing with these two must be a joy.

    Nate has responded to the UFC's offer by laughing at them.

    Yoel Romero thinks he'll be fighting Michael Bisping on this card as well.

    Frankie has one fight left on his deal and would like to face Lamas or Holloway. He's not getting Holloway.

    If things keep going the way they are going Edgar will be signing with Bellator this year. Edgar is a guy who is on the cusp of being a world champion but won't get there again, and is expensive. Hard to picture him elsewhere, though.

    Romero is (pretending?) he has set up a GoFundMe to help Michael Bisping pay his medical expenses after they fight in May.

    Troll Romero.

    Jose Aldo's manager says #wheresjosewaldo creator Max Holloway is actually the one making excuses and not allowing the FW unification fight to happen.

    Aldo/Holloway should've happened at 208 but Holloway said his foot was injured. Then he had to go to Disney with his kids. Then his gym was closed and he couldn't train. They STILL can't book the fight.

    Something's fucky.


    For the record, frustrated, Aldo offered to move up to LW to get a fight, but Nurmagomedov, Ferguson, and McGregor aren't interested.

    The UFC reportedly offered Aldo a rematch with Cub Swanson. He beat Swanson in 8-seconds and doesn't see the point in a rematch.

    I'm not 100% sure if I'm understanding this Tweet but the implication would be that Bellator via Viacom would be suing whoever accused them of fixing, namely Dan Hardy.

    Dana White said it was a 'done deal' and so it appears. The UFC featherweight title will be unified at UFC 212 with interim champion Max Holloway taking on the man who was awarded the UFC featherweight title following Conor McGregor's stripping, Jose Aldo.

    The bout was first confirmed by ESPN's Brett Okamoto on Twitter, but no date was given. FloCombat has since confirmed the event, date and location with multiple sources and it will take place at UFC 212 on June 3in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
