Jon Jones tore his pec and his fight against Stipe Miocic next month is canceled. Sergei Pavlovich vs Tom Aspinall is the interim Heavyweight Championship bout. Decent fight for the interim title. I wonder if Stipe is just going to retire then? I'd have thought he'd be one half of the interim title fight. Stipe doesn't deserve a title shot at all right now and wouldn't draw any money without Jon Jones.

Stipe doesn't deserve a title shot at all right now and wouldn't draw any money without Jon Jones. I agree. There are only two options here: either keep the title on Jones and have him fight the interim title holder when he comes back - or strip Jones and have Pavlovich/Aspinall for the proper title. If Jones still wants to fight Stipe when he comes back, it should definitely be the latter option.

TIL that Alberto Del Rio is a spanish commentator for ufc as of last year That's news to me! Francis put up a hell of a fight tonight, even Knocking down Fury in the 3rd! Fight was pretty good though, even commentary was calling it an upset before that decision. Either way, I think Francis' stock goes way, way up after tonight and is gonna bring eyes to the PFL when he eventually debuts. So, pretty decent night for MMA represenation!

Francis (and MMA) has come away a winner, regardless of the scorecards.

Alex Pereira has KOd Strickland, Adesanya and now Prochazka, which is quite the hitlist.

The Rock claims he was close to going to Pride in 1997, but they only held one show in October that year, he had already turned heel and the WWF getting popular and was actually paying more money at the time. If a guy like Lavar Johnson can go 18-10 in MMA, I don't see why The Rock couldn't have done the same thing.

I hope they retain the tournaments from Bellator. Always felt special in late 2008 to see them using the tournament format again. Also hope they can land on a good reliable network for TV cards. I personally don’t have any interest in ESPN+ and certainly won’t pay for their PPV’s anymore so hopefully they will get on TV.

Is anybody watching UFC on ESPN tonight? I’ve got the main card set up to record while I’m at work and probably watching it after work in the morning. Think it’s crap that they aren’t giving the prelims on ESPN along with the main card. Hope there’s good fights throughout.

Bellato vs Potieria was an absolute banger. Holy hell, I thought Bellato was out of there after that sleek ground and pound but he survived like an absolute madman. Guy's got tons of heart.

They had to give Miesha Tate a 35 year old who hasnt fought in 2 and a half years so she can get a win.
