Magny came back and finished Lombard after taking a beating in first round Lombard's MMA career was probably reduced by a few fights thanks to that ref. I can't believe that fight wasn't stopped towards the end of the 2nd. You'd think his corner would've had the sense to not send him back out for the 3rd as well.

Fairly big day in MMA/UFC They finally might get legalized in New York (only state in America where MMA is not legal/sanctioned)
In the past, dirty politics stopped the MMA bill ever getting to a vote at a certain committee Whereas today they are finally getting to different voting stages
If this happens, UFC @ MSG will likely have a huge event, one that will rival UFC 200

Comes down to the Fertitas, who own majority stake in UFC and own Station casinos in Vegas. Apparently they won't unionize their casinos, and the culinary union hates this, and uses their political reach and power to influence lobbyists in NYC. It sounds crazy, but I guess that union is highly connected, thus UFC has never been able to get their bill down to an assembly vote. It always gets passed the rules, ways and means committee with very favorable votes in favor of it. But in the past, the speaker, Sheldon Silver would never allow it to get to a vote to the assembly floor. However, early last year, that speaker, Sheldon Silver was arrested for federal corruption crimes. So he's not the speaker anymore, and can't bat down the MMA bill anymore.

Gotta go with Jones. DC really couldn't do much against him in the first fight (just rewatched it, ufc just put it up on youtube). If DC can't take him down I don't see the fight panning out any different than their first match.

I agree with you about taking Jones down, thats what he has to do, Jones is too long and too smart on the stand up game.

I wish no one could win the Jones-Cormier fight. I love Jones' fighting ability and think he is clearly the best overall fighter in the UFC but holy fuck is the guy an idiot. DC just seems like an insecure try-hard and his personality annoys the fuck out of me.

Looks like Frankie Edgar will be fighting Edgar for the interim featherweight title at UFC 200.

The 145 division is such a fuck up right now. McGregor-Diaz 2 seems like such a waste of time but it's all about the money. Goddamnit...
I bet the UFC is praying that Aldo beats Frankie again because they know how bad of a matchup Frankie would be for McGregor.

i understand it's a money business but what a joke. how can you have a standing healthy featherweight champ fighting a catchweight fight at 170 while two other contenders in his division are fighting for an interim belt...on the same card? that's ridiculous. you are creating an interim belt for no reason. call it a #1 contender fight at the very least and don't insult our intelligence. the interim belt is there only to placate aldo and edgar. i'm actually looking forward to that fight, but the principle and logic of this is flawed and absurd

That's fucking lame, but you can't do anything about it I guess. I'll watch Jon fight literally anybody and be entertained
