(1) no real punishment, (2) afforded him an excuse for an extra long vacation while he can say "i really want to fight now but they won't let me" (3) a prime film snippet for the promo trailer of his next fight what an incredible turn of events... who could've possibly predicted that? i'll give you a clue.. his initials are similar to Peter Parker's tyrannical editor at the daily bugle. | ||

You said it was choreographed and nothing that you've mentioned really proves that nor does any credible journalist back your theory afaik | ||

The news today is both GSP and Dana White saying that his return would make sense for UFC 231 in Toronto in December. His last fight in TO did 55,724 fans for the most in UFC history. GSP wants this winner of the Mcgreggor fight. Dana wants him to stay out of the LW division and fight WW or MW, But GSP wants to be the triple champ! I'm sure the biggest fight the UFC can do will end being it, since it will make everyone the most $$$ but we will see. | ||

regarding highest attendance: the highest UFC attendance occurred in Australia at UFC 193 not in Toronto and GSP has only fought in Toronto one time. The attendance in TO was inflated due to the province dragging their feet on legalizing MMA in Ontario. This created huge pent up demand. The high attendance in Toronto is the result of a plethora of circumstances and one of them is that GSP is a big draw. I don't think Toronto has sold out even one ARENA show since the STADIUM show sold out 7+ years ago. | ||

flyweight "champ" (she one the TUF show for the belt but her opponent missd weight so she faught another girl for the title) got rushed to the hospital because of weight cut issues. Her opponent who was -800 favorite is probably pissed I'm sure it will be rescheduled pretty quickly. These weight cut issues are so huge it feels like every card some fight is off because of it. I have no idea what the solution is , because it is such an advantage to cut weight and fight "smaller" or at least not bigger people. I know they are working on it and have made some changes I hope they continue to improve. | ||

I think some of the issues is they want something that works at all levels and not just the UFC. A lot of other promoters can not afford something like that. | ||

How many punches did Till throw and land in the 1st round? i think you can count that on 1 hand and still have a few fingers left over. Considering Woodley had a year off recovering from surgery to repair a torn labrum (shoutout to Andrew Luck) he looked incredible. GSP is willing to fight at 155 or 185 but we haven't heard a peep about him fighting at the weight he fought at the vast majority of his career. Prolly cause he doesn't want any part of Woodley. | ||
