UFC is reportedly going to book Woodley vs. Till and strip Covington of his interim title because he won't agree to fight Woodley in September. This gives more attention to Covington, which proves that's all he is about.

UFC has completely killed the drawing power of their belts. They don’t mean a damn thing to casuals, because there’s just too f***ing many. Hell, I follow MMA VERY closely, and I’m struggling to think of all the Champs and Interim Champs. Without looking it up: Daniel Cormier at Heavyweight and Light Heavyweight Robert Whittaker at Middleweight Tyron Woodley at Welterweight with Colby Covington as Interim Khabib Nurmagomedov at Lightweight Max Holloway at Featherweight TJ Dillashaw at Bantamweight Demetrious Johnson at Flyweight Cristiane "Cyborg" Justino at Women's Featherweight Amanda Nunes at Women's Bantamweight Nicco Montano at Women's Flyweight Rose Namajunas at Women's Strawweight The only one I didn't know was the Women's Flyweight and that's fairly new if I'm not mistaken.

And Cormier has now told Gustafsson to f*** off. Idk, I dislike DC more and more every time I hear him talk (or read what he writes). Take that holier than thou letter and shove it. Yeah considering his gym's history with injuries, him complaining about a guy pulling out of a fight, when he didn't even have an opponent anymore, is really stupid. DC is taking this pro wrestling persona a touch too far.

Yoel Romero will fight Paulo Costa at UFC 230.
Nick Newell's Tuesday Night Contenders fight is tonight on Fight Pass. Come for the inspirational story, stay for Michael Bsiping's excellent commentary.

This gives more attention to Covington, which proves that's all he is about. If anything, Colby's story ended up being pretty funny, if you think about it. He tried his damnest to get heat for himself in order to get a title shot, he wins an interim title that was meant to give him an unification match with Woodley... and now is set aside in favor of a more popular fighter with a niche audience. Colby can always fight Wonderboy and claim to be the real "undefeated and undisputed" champ, though.

@mmajunkie Dana White says Conor McGregor 'has faced a lot of repercussions' in wake of plea deal So much can be said about Dana's BS So 5 days of community service, some fines and anger management classes is enough punishment for a guy who put a PPV card at risk and, according to Dana himself, did one of the most heinous things a fighter could've done...

How much of a punishment did Jones get for his hit and run incident?

Dana's desperate for any sorta draw, so he'll kiss Conor's ass regardless. And honestly, Conor-Khabib will do huge numbers.
Unrelated, yeesh every interview Joanna does now, she acts like Rose didn't beat her ass twice. "I'm the strawweight queen." Nah, darlin not anymore.

Haha yep. Like I could maybe see if Rose had only won once and barely, but she f***ed Joanna up that first fight and then outlasted her in a great second fight

Saw some of the post fight presser and Joanna is still acting like Rose should just bow down to her haha. Reporter was asking about a third fight and Joanna was acting like she'd be doin Rose a favor. She beat your ass twice already! haha.

You lost by TKO and unanimous decision. There is no doubt Rose has your number and you still have at least another fight ahead of you before Rose can even think of entertaining you

It's just kinda weird; it's like hell there's no legit argument for you to GET a third fight right now

You got your courtesy rematch already after being champ for so long

It'd be one thing if there was any form of controversy, but the first fight couldn't have been more definitive. Then the second, while closer and a great fight was still pretty clear who won. She's even talkin shit about an interim title lol
