Starting slow. Getting his sea legs back under him. Padding some stats after a pretty bad run that was considered his twilight.
Meh. Not the worst of ideas. Coming out of retirement to even face someone on the level of, and please don't take this as an insult, Cheick Kongo would be dangerous all things considered.

Dillashaw has left Alpha Male, he's moving to a team in Denver and will continue to train with Ludwig.

John Dodson is officially moving to bantamweight according to Ariel Helwani.
Also, Myles Jury will face Charles Oliviera at UFC On FOX: Dos Anjos vs. Cerrone II.

When Connor is right about stuff IDK whether this is a good or bad sign lol. This is def going to cost Dill in regards to the little nuisances that go along with being a champ and getting the fighters to the camps "under him"

Really? It just comes off as a little sour grapes and misunderstandings adding up. Uriah basically kept pitching for him and eventually he got his shot and from what it looks like Dill feels he's reached his limit with them essentially getting in big boy territory. Going to be interesting to see how his first defense goes and who he can recruit.

If Dillashaw beats Cruz then Dana almost HAS to set up Faber as the next opponent at this rate.

Ben Rothwell has been pulled from UFC Dublin as UFC couldn't find a short notice replacement for Stipe Miocic.

UFC is reportedly going on a wholesale cutting spree, as the following are among fourteen gone with a total of fifty or more cuts expected:
Eddie Gordon (who I follow on Twitter, incidentally) Matt Van Buren Soa Paleilei (retired) Marcus Brimage Francisco Trevino (unsurprising in light of missing weight, getting quickly TKOed, pushing Herb Dean afterwards, and failing a drug test)

It's a shame knowing that Duffy won't get to fight on Saturday and that Poirier won't have a replacement but I really want to see them fight in another card down the line. They can have a good fight if they're all in.

WHO? Seriously that card fell right the f*** apart like nobody's business! When this show was first announced there was talk of Conor McGregor fighting on it (though realistically it never would have happened). Now, we have two flyweights main eventing it. Those Irish fans must be bummed.

Those Irish fans must be bummed. Holohan may not be the best but he's damn scrappy a fighter, and he's Irish. In fact, there are several other Irish on the card, so the fans will still be going nuts. But the Duffy injury does still suck, and Poirier refused to fight Norman Parke on short notice, so yeah.... Also, this is the THIRTY-FOURTH main or co-main altered or outright scrapped this year due to the damn injury bug. Speaking of which: Andrei Arlovski and Stipe Miocic will face off at 195 in the co-main. Poor Ben Rothwell.
