Erick Silva would be unstoppable if he had endurance. Shame he couldn't stop Matt Brown

Agreed. Nothing exciting about it. Just gives him more retirement money when he hangs up the gloves. Before he left he looked past it...not sure what has changed? Will be slower and relies too much on throwing bombs.
Yeah, I got tired of Rampage years ago. Won't be long until he's complaining about how bad UFC treats him again.
The most interesting part about it is that Coker and Bellator are saying they still have him under exclusive contract. UFC typically doesn't do stuff like this so I guess Rampage's lawyers and/or UFC lawyers found terms in his Bellator contract that they believe haven't been fulfilled and that it's enough to allow him to walk. Interesting timing too with the anti-trust lawsuit just being filed.

Saw Coker's tweet so I'm a touch confused too. Not sure Rampage is worth the law suit to be honest. Maybe UFC has purchased Bellator haha.
Loses the last 3 fights in the UFC...now it's a massive signing...
At best becomes a division gate keeper. More likely a stepping stone for an up and comer

Nope. As Cruz said he will get eaten alive. Brock brought high level wrestling to the party. CM Punk brings nothing and at 35 doesn't have much time to learn

Brock was also HW.. anotoriously thin division and it was even worse back then..
I would say punk gets beat up pretty bad fighting at WW or MW in the AFC... so good luck in the ufc.. ain't no easy fight for him there.
Machida. WOW

ahhh CB...that was reminiscent of Bonnar vs Silva. Ridiculously outclassed
The audio of that kick says a lot. Damn that would have hurt!

Simple answer....No, it will be like throwing a pup to battle with full grown dogs. He isn't even a fighters chance imo
Watch today's main event
With rumours of Punk fighting at 185 he will be begging to go back to the "E"
So who gets Weidman after he beats Vitor?
185 pounds
The division with a top 10 that could cripple Phil Brooks

We don't want the W.A government watching his fights ? How could you argue with them after something like that
Romero v Jacare is a fight I am looking forward to
I think Weidman takes Vitor
Jacare subs v Romero
If Rockhold and Machida happens,someone is getting ko'd
Part of the reason why I hope Brooks sees how crazy this is and goes back to pro wrestling

Rockhold for me. I think he's the only one who can match Weidman
