    Reebok is revamping their UFC Fight Kits.

    Not only have I never seen anyone wearing one but supposedly fighters on regular Reebok deals get $0.30 for each kit sold.

    I'm not much for toys and decorations but... this... I'll be looking on Ebay after this event.

    Not really surprising but Cain Velasquez thinks he won't fight in 2017.

    If the UFC were interested in him vs. Miocic (have to think they were) now they can move on with either rebooking JDS/Ngannou, making Ngannou/Reem, or giving the title shot to Ngannou. Miocic should be fighting before the end of the year.

    Cris Justino has been granted a boxing license in California. She's under UFC contract but has ambitions to box. Not sure this will go anywhere.

    Overeem in a title fight just means he's getting KO'd again. Ngannou will fucking brutalize him.

    Holloway is renegotiating his contract which is why his fight with Edgar isn't booked.

    Count Chocula says the only fight that would bring Ronda back would be one with Cyborg.

    Fuck right off with that bullshit.

    Stupid.

    Tate - Rousey 3 I could see.

    Cyborg would straight murder her.

    Rory MacDonald will face Doug Lima on Jan 20 at The Forum in Los Angeles

    Or he is supposed to. I have a suspicion that he won't. Lima's only had five fights since 2014.

    According to his trainer, Cain Velasquez is still not back to training. His surgery didn’t go as well as they would have hoped.

    Time to put the ol bull out to pasture. Hell of a talent but body just couldn’t hold up. Being 35 is only going to make this harder for him.

    I get the same feeling. I usually do not accuse MMA fighters of dodging others, but I feel Lima wants no part of MacDonald.

    I still really wish Askren was still in Bellator. I would love to see him tested against Rory. Unfortunately we may never know just how good Askren really was.

    Ngannou/Overeem booked for UFC 218. Guess Miocic isn't ready? Henry Cejudo vs. Sergio Pettis might also be on it.

    UFC 219-- Dominic Cruz vs. Jimmy Rivera and Cynthia Calvillo vs. Carla Esparza.


    All great fights.
