Well if Aldo can't go and Mendes steps in, Conor is f***ed. Straight up f***ed.
He was f***ed against Aldo anyway but even worse with Mendes. There's a reason he never fought him on the way up.

Honestly, I think Frankie(who really SHOULD have gotten the call in a 'next man up' scenario') is a tougher match-up for him than Mendes. And I don't think any of the four are 'f***ed' against any of the others.

In other news, Alexander Shlemenko has been suspended for three years for a failed drug test by the CSAC. Holy shit! Well Shlemenko's career is pretty much done for states side so these no f***ing around multi year suspensions have surely gotta make fighters think twice before they use PEDs.

No thread for The Dragon fighting? Got taken out by some Yoel Romero elbows.
Big win for Romero. Looks like Lyoto is winding down now.

Yeah, Romero seriously f***ed him up BAD. I think Dana may have to have "THE TALK" with Machida now.

Just announced on Bellator 139 Josh Koscheck has signed with them. This makes sense if they want him to fight Paul Daley as that fight can probably carry a card due to both of them having some name value and a good storyline given their history. This has to be the first (and possibly last) fight for Koscheck in Bellator though. He hasn't looked good at all during his losing streak even if those fights were against skilled dudes. Don't give him a warm up fight and risk the Daley fight becoming even more difficult to market (losing to even a mid-level Bellator fighter will kill any amount of credibility he has).

Daley has already said that he has little interest in a Kosheck rematch and would rather focus on trying to fight for the Bellator WW title. But just watched Romero vs Lyoto and wow its hard to believe that in the space of a year the Dragon has gone from giving Chris Weidman his toughest test to getting brutally finished twice in a row Also what the bloody hell was Romero trying to say during his post fight interview.

Felice Herrig was just on American Ninja Warrior... and was KOed by the very first obstacle in three seconds.

Well, here's the Reebok uniforms.
Awkward.

(for what it's worth, I like both girls) In other news, the new UFC/Reebok fight kits are even more horrendous than I imagined they would be.

Half of these fighters will be injured for 4-6 months before the year is over.

So the UFC and Reebok took 35 minutes to showcase new shorts? Also they announced Conor last... It's as if they want him to beat Aldo or something.

I laughed my ass off at GIBLERT, esp. after Melendez briefly changed his Twitter to GiblertMelendez.

Glad to see the UFC and Reebok promoting the individuality and marketability of fighters by making EVERYONE LOOK EXACTLY THE SAME...I have no idea who is going to buy this stuff at the absurd prices they are selling them.

Jacare having "Ronaldo" listed as his nickname, Lyoto Machida's name ending up as Marcio "Lyoto" Machida, various dudes having their real names put down when they don't fight with them ever (Damian Baptista, Kevin Swanson, Gleison Alves), all the Chinese fighters having their first and last names arranged wrong, and even CM Punk had his name spelled wrong.

Tom Lawlor is already pissed that they called him THOMAS Lawlor on his shirt. Same with Bec Rawlings pointing out that she only lets her mother call her Rebecca. And yet, YOU HAD ONE JOB, REEBOK! GIBLERT!
