So Alvarez vs. Khabib was expected to take place at UFC 205 but Eddie didn't sign the agreement on time. They're going to re-attempt to set up the fight for 206. Full UFC 205 card to be officially announced on Tuesday by Dana White at a press conference in MSG. They have fighters sign two days before the fight sometimes. Explain. He was given a deadline to sign and missed it, sounds like he's holding out for more money and/or a McGregor fight.

Sounds likely considering that the two just traded barbs again. Only thing is Dana nixed it, at least for this year. Which, considering Conor is still not cleared to return, makes sense.

McGregor needs to fight Aldo or give up the f***ing strap. Anything else would be ridiculous after he spent all year dicking around as a psuedo-Welterweight with Diaz.

I'm just waiting for them to announce some stuff for the Albany show, should be a cheaper show and since it's the night before 206 maybe a randomly good show that shows up the PPV.

Joanna Champion vs Karolina Contender will be a fantastic fight. Karolina is a great and seems like the nicest person, but Joanna is my girl. No way am I rooting against her. I can't wait to see the Embedded vlogs for 205 though.

It seems like yesterday was a big one for women's MMA. Of course we had the news of Joanna's title match with Karolina at 205, but also on the card will be Meisha Tate's return fight against Raquel Pennington: mmajunkie.com/2016/09/miesha-tate-vs-raquel-pennington-slated-for-ufc-205-in-new-york-cityAs well as this reports have also been spreading that Ronda Rousey has been offered the opportunity to fight Amanda Nunes for the Bantamweight title at UFC 207. www.foxsports.com/ufc/story/ronda-rousey-nearing-return-to-the-ufc-092216Amanda's tweets about upcoming fight news, as well as recent pictures of a healthier Ronda, seem to support this proposal, but I can't help but feel that this is a move by the UFC to force Ronda's hand into taking the fight. This way if the fight doesn't happen we know the reason (and the person) as to why.

I'm most interested in Big Country vs Bigfoot. That's going to be interesting no matter how it goes down.

Just a casual watcher, but I liked that prelims fight between Chagas and Silva.

Fight is stopped due to the cut. Francisco Trinaldo gets his 7th straight win.

I am loving Cruz on commentary. He's in my fave five regardless, but he's legitimately really good.

Bigfoot is such a strangely proportioned dude. His arms looks as skinny as mine.

Big Country gets the KO victory and is pissed at Big John for the late stoppage.

Really with Cyborg what do you really do with her?
Don't ever see a fight with Ronda ever happening
