    Gaethje/Alvarez is filming in Vegas. Fighters will be 125-lbs. women. Finalists will either fight for the title or the top contender spot.

    Yoel wants to fight Bisping if Whittaker is injured. Doesn't care if the belt is on the line.

    Yoel Romero has vowed to follow Michael Bisping around until he gets the fight. He says he will be at UFC 214 and at UFC on FOX because Bisping will be there. Sounds like entertainment.

    Globo is reporting that the Nunes/Shevchenko rematch has been officially moved to UFC 215 in September in Edmonton.

    DFW said that he wouldn't have Nunes headline again so the UFC can either make JDS/Ngannou the main event or grab DJ/Borg or something. Kind of late right now to add another title fight.

    Edit: 215, not 209

    Bisping is afraid of Romero. Fuck Bisping. Fuck Romero too.

    Stipe vs Cain being targeted for UFC 216. Hope they have a contingency plan.

    Bisping says the plan was for him to coach TUF against Romero, had Romero won vs. Whittaker.

    The UFC didn't want Whittaker as a TUF coach so once that fight finished the way it did, those plans were scrapped, although the timing of Gaethje/Alvarez being booked to coach doesn't quite work out since they were selected before Romero/Whittaker took place. Take it with a grain of salt I suppose.

    Things could change if Whittaker isn't able to go for November.

    Michael Bisping doesn't understand why Yoel Romero is so upset with him, you know, after constantly insulting him for months, heckling him during his fight, and ripping up the Cuban flag. Bro, it was just a prank, bro (buddeh).

    If this fight never happens we'll feel cheated.

    Now that Cyborg is booked, guess who's back? Broken hand has recovered nicely.

    I guess not that late. DJ/Borg added to headline the show.

    Luke Rockhold, who turned down several fights and talked about quitting MMA, is now sick of sitting around waiting and has been ready to fight since June.

    I'm guessing he'll wind up fighting Derek Brunson. Dunno if they can squeeze him onto the 215 show but that'd be a good swing bout.

    I know Yoel is looking to fight but I'm hoping they book Romero/Silva.

    Michael Chiesa's appeal to the Oklahoma State AC over his loss to Kevin Lee rejected.

    Well who'd've thunk it?
