    It makes more sense than GSP/Bisping and the timing of it is good with the other WW contenders coming off losses. Yet something about it doesn't sit right with me.

    The timing would work out for the MSG show or the NYE show. Not sure when GSP will be ready by.

    I am perfectly fine with GSP getting next crack at the title. Dude never lost it, and was kingpin at the weight class for several years. He is a big name that I feel earned the fight. If GSP can still go at even 75% of what he used to I think either matchup is fairly easy for him.

    If that's what he is clinging to then dude can't be serious about a comeback at this point can he?

    DFW says that GSP/Bisping is going to happen and Whittaker will fight the winner.

    I wonder if Woodley fucked himself by fighting so safe tonight? It was only a few days ago that the plan was for him to face GSP.

    Dana is acting super fucky tonight. Is he on pills?

    He basically described the GSP/Bisping fight as a #1 contender fight to face Whittaker.

    He also wants Holly Holm to fight Cyborg. I'm sure that's a good scenario but what has Holm done since beating Rousey that suggests that she'll match up well with Cyborg?

    He booked both of these fights directly after saying he doesn't book fights after an event.

    DFW confirms that this is exactly what happened. He was so unhappy with Woodley tonight that he's taking the GSP fight away from him. Not sure if it was ever that close but that's what he's saying.

    Fuck Woodley. 3 boring ass fights in a row. Always looking for a one punch KO. Never follows up with storming his opponent with combos. I really hope Lawler can get a rematch and beat him. Going from Robbie (JUST BLEED) Lawler to Woodley was the worst thing to happen to the WW division. Woodley sits there and makes excuses for everything, cries racism, cries he's being disrespected but does nothing to excite the fans. Fans love an athletic black dude with dynamite fists built like a fucking jumbo jet. The fact that they can't stand Woodley is solely his fault.

    And go ahead and start "leaking" shit. I'm sure what Woodley knows is actually very little. It makes him look extremely petty too. You don't play this game with DFW, whose a child as well. However, he's a more powerful child who controls a lot of Woodley's life. I foresee Woodley being relegated to UFC on FOX from here on out.

    And for the record, what Dana said wasn't even that fucking bad!

    What is so unprofessional about that? ON top of that, he said people don't want to watch Tyron fight. In the 4th round they had the rock concert cell phone lights going. They were chanting THIS IS BORING. They booed him off stage. Dana White says stupid shit a lot. He crosses the line a lot. This is not one of those times.

    However, with Woodley demanding an apology...I'm sure DFW is ready to unleash his other side lol.

    Tito, Randy, etc......Dana has gone up against far more popular fighters than Woodley and stayed where he is at. I don't see anything Woodley can "leak" that will do anything other than upset Dana. It's a bad plan whatever it is.
