Finally, we get the rest of the HW grand prix. We also finally see KJ Noons come back and fight at LW. I am dying to see him match up with Gilbert. MMA is picking up

JZ is on the prelims? Ouch. I wanna see how Cormier does against Monson too.

Interesting that once Zuffa takes over there are prelim fights that are actually worth watching. The Challengers card that on the week after looks solid also, with better matchmaking than in the past.

Very true. I can't believe JZ is on the undercard. He is one of the most talented LW's in the world imo.

Carano has been pulled from the card, KJ Noons/Jorge moved to the main card

If anything that makes me happy, Unless cris cyborg is fighting than woman's mma is just to sucky at the moment.

I'll be there in the second level, right in front of the entrance. This card is going to be really good.

I heard she was just going to the mens 125 division. She slammed Tito during grappling.

Man it's so surreal looking on FB and seeing these pics on my newsfeed by the UFC page.

LOL

Is that real about Tito? Is there a video of it?

I'm definitely excited for this card. Not 'stay up until 3 am UK time' to watch it but definitely Sunday morning excited. :wink:

Total BS. For one, no atheletic comission would ever sanction an intergender mma bout. Secondly she struggles with the cut to 140, she couldnt make 125 if her life depended on it.
