Oh yes!
UFC on Fox this weekend - some decent enough fights - I'm fairly sure that Northcutt will give Gall more of a fight than Punk did! 
Worth watching just for VanZant vs The Karate Hottie imo!!
(truth be told I'm probably looking forward to the weigh-in more than the actual fight!

Scottish guy making his debut in the prelims tonight. Used to play in the Hearts youth team will check that out.

Sage seems like his timing is all wrong?
Sage needs to improve his ground game, it seems like his ground game is well below the level of the average MMA fighter.
Some decent fights on this card, the highlights for me were:
- Faber looked amazing
- Leslie Smith vs Irene Aldana (on the prelims) was awesome

Glad to see Perry get beat he seems like a complete knob. Gall calling out Hardy was a bit 'wtf' - for a start Hardy is retired.
Sage needs to go to an actual camp and stop his dad thinking he knows best when it comes to his training, he doesn't.
He needs to be training the ground almost exclusively, otherwise anyone who he fights will just look to take him down and man handle him with BJJ.
UFC can't be too happy, Sage and Paige both losing.

Well Hardy has been talking about a return, don't forget he was forced into retirement by a medical ban, he still wants to fight and has fights left on his contract it seems. If he can get cleared, he'd jump at the opportunity to fight again I think.
Some decent fights at the weekend.
Glad Sage lost. I've no doubt he can go far in the UFC but as others have said, it's so obvious that he needs to sort out his ground game.
Gall calling out Hardy is a bit silly even if Hardy does want to return. Hardy was a stand-and-bang man, so Gall will obviously do what his did with Sage.
Not a fan of Paige particularly either. She always seems to shy away when getting punched. I know it's not nice, but it's one of the things that's the difference between the men and a good number of the woman; the acceptance of punches to the face
Faber looked really good; quick and sharp like the old days. Aside from a few calf kicks, Pickett was 2nd best all fight.

Seeing rumours that Aldo vs Holloway is off and that Aldo will move up to fight for an interim title against Khabib? 
For one, why would Aldo get a shot at the interim belt at 155 when I thought it was widely accepted it'd be Khabib Vs Ferguson. Secondly, why on earth would Aldo want anything to do with Khabib.
I see people commenting that Aldo would be able to stop the takedown, because his defense is so good at 145. Well, he hasn't ever fought a monster like Khabib. I see Aldo getting rag dolled all over the octagon if that fight happens.

It'd be interesting to see just how good Aldo's Jiu Jitsu is if that fight ever did happen - he's touted all the time as being even better on the ground than he is on the feet by Joe Rogan, not sure if this holds much truth.

She got flagged for a diuretic, not PED. They aren't the same thing.

Apparently Rousey doesn't have to do any press at all in the run up to her Nunes fight...WTF?! So Conor gets pulled from a card for not wanting to do press and Ronda gets to do WTF she likes?
