Dumb question but is Fight Night live on Foxtel version of Fox Sports? With my increasing interest in UFC debating whether to sign up.

Pretty much. The fight nights are always shown on foxtel.

Bendo gets an immediate title shot. Think he has done a great deal here. I'm not his biggest fan but good on him

Man, he has never looked that lean.

Will do wonders for his energy levels if he can eat & drink a little over the next 2-3 days, then cut 4-5 pounds. You can sweat out 5 pounds in a couple of hours without too much fuss. Not that I've ever cut weight but playing sport its easy to lose a couple of kgs fluid.

My brother used to cut over 6-7 days for wrestling & Judo & its not an enjoyable experience.

Rockhold vs Weidman is set for a rematch. No spinning s**t might be part of the game plan at Serra/Longo.

A designer steroid called ostarine is the drug in question according to reports I've read. Was looking forward to this fight.

Lame...

Anyone know if Tim Means had been vocal in the past on social media regarding doping?

Any chance Cerrone will step up and fight himself?

If they let him I dare say he would.

Reminds me of the scene from Liar liar: 'what are you doing?' 'I'm kicking my ass!'

The only other guy they could call at short notice around this weight just signed for Bellator, so he might have to.

Hoping Masvidal gets the call, that would be a great fight.

So there's a rumour going around that the Fight Night card in Brazil headlined by Belfort vs Jacare is now going to be a PPV and headlined with a Werdum vs Miocic title fight.

I don't mind that! they have to add another PPV card so UFC 200 keeps its date.. so I'm assuming the rumor has legs

 

[Jab]

So the "Dirty Bird" was found dirty. He sent a tweet out like he was shocked and tagged USADA even. I want to see Siyar Bahadurzada fight so I hope they get someone else to fill in other than his opponent.

could of been a contaminated legal supplement. or even a legal over the counter protein powder that he hasn't checked properly.

thems the breaks tho

Alex Oliveira is in for Means to fight Cerrone. It's a big step up for him, but I've loved what he's done so far in the UFC.

That is an awesome fight.

 

[Gigantic]

Are they still going to be fighting at welterweight?

Also, lol @ Oliveira's nickname also being Cowboy

 

[Gigantic]

Bellator also signs Sergei Kharitonov

If Bellator keep this up, and also manage to snag anyone unhappy in the UFC, I think they could really get themselves out there

 

[Guy Threepwood]

I believe so. Pretty sure Cerrone wanted to test the waters there and Oliveira seems to be a pretty massive lightweight so would probably enjoy not having to cut.

Kharitanov is a great get for Bellator. Would have loved to see how he would have done in the UFC.

They should have a side bet that the loser has to change his nickname.
