Beautiful fight. Wonderboy beats Lawler and it'll be a classic.

 

[Kris_90]

If Rory can't take Thompson down then I can't see him winning. Thompson has made all his opponents' stand up games look amateur-ish.

As I thought, Wonderboy's stand-up game is just too good.

How good did Cowboy look

 

[McBain]

What a disappointing main event The last round was the only entertaining part…. styles make fights and you could tell Wonderboy was apprehensive about the takedown. When Mcdonald started coming forward he got lit up. Good for Wonderboy to get 5 rounds under his belt though, I reckon he'd take Lawler/Woodley.

On the plus side Cerrone looked awesome at 170, and wants to fight in a few weeks at UFC200, how can you dislike that guy?

The O’Connell Vs Bosse fight was awesome as well. No idea why Herb Dean stepped in with a good few second left, they were throwing down ala Holloway Vs Lamas,

 

[Chonky]

looking back Chuck was pretty awesome

That's a considerably-lighter-than-he-is-today Overeem at 1:30 taking a big beating, if I'm not mistaken.

 

[McBain]

Aye, he's obviously not been dieting on horse meat recently

GSP saying he's ready to come back, could fight at 155, 170 or 185

McGregor/Diaz on for UFC200?

UFC 202

Looks like a done deal

http://www.flocombat.com/article/42802-sources-zuffa-accepts-4-2-billion-bid-for-sale-of-ufc

Our sources reiterated once again that Dana White will be staying with the company. His current shares in Zuffa will be sold as part of the deal, but he will be granted new shares to stay on in his current promotion capacity. A new CEO will be selected to handle emerging international businesses; the name we were told is Garry Cook, the former head of the Manchester City football club. White would continue to handle the promotional end of the company—with matchmakers Joe Silva and Sean Shelby staying on board in their current roles—while Cook will focus on expanding business dealings in new emerging markets.

 

[McBain]

Eh, Gary Cook has been on board with the UFC in that capacity for a while already.

 

[MrKnifey]

Yea I thought it was 202 but had Nate Diaz Facebook feed with a picture of ufc 200 saying its on ???

 

[R.O.S.S.I]

Oh yeh I've just seen that picture. Is it back on at UFC200 then?

EDIT - seems his Instagram has the full message "natediaz209See uguys at #ufc200 not fighting but going to get that showmoney #itstime #100 "

Lots of UFC action next week...
Thursday 7th July

Friday 8th July

Saturday 9th July

 

[McBain]

God damn that UFC200 card.

 

[cainer]

God damn that UFC200 card.

if i could only pick 2 UFC 200 fights to watch it would be Sanchez V's Lauzon
and Hunt V's Brock

 

[Kris_90]

I forgot Big Country is fighting Lewis next Thursday. I doubt the fight will last very long

The 200 card is ridiculous.

 

[nicktay2605]

That card for 200 is nuts, every single fight is potentially an absolute cracker, right from the early prelims through to the main event.

 

[CliffyG]

So TUF finale next week but there are still people to fight to be the finalists. Have I missed something?

 

[McBain]

Nope, there's always a final episode on the Wednesday before which shows the last two semi finals.

It's been **** for the most part though, so if you've missed any of it you haven't missed much.
