Considering an NBA team is now worth > 1bil, that's not really that much.

never even considered ufc to be anywhere close to $1b, much less worth as much as Star Wars selling price.
ufc should do a stock offering!

Gracie is probably kicking himself for selling UFC all those years ago.
and it was more fun watching 300lb guys fighting a 150lb guy in the old days. (and the 150lb guy wins by sub.)

where was this shown?
a ufc champ fight not on ppv?!

On their paid subscription service, Fight Pass.

After what Eddie went through to get to the UFC I hope he can get one champ pay day title defense in at least.

Apparently, he said he want's "an easy fight like McGregor".

Read between the lines.

He was trying to ruffle some feathers.

I know he was talking shit. But, the fact remains, McGregor at this point does look like an easy fight at 155. Though, if McGregor somehow pulls off the impossible and beats Diaz, I'm sure he'll get a title shot eventually.

Alvarez' quote

I don't know much about Alvarez, but listening to this press conference, it seems Alvarez is one of the most stand-up and grounded fighters I've heard. He's gotten very little money from mma before joining the ufc but persevered because he loves it. He seems the kind of guy one can feel good about becoming a champion. (He joins in at 8:36.)

I watched Eddie fight many times before coming to the UFC. When it did happen, I figured he would be a champion. I then watched him in the UFC and he would be hit or miss, so I changed my opinion. Then last night he showed up, he fought perfectly, but this is the UFC, so I don't know if he will hold the belt very long.

If he is on, I don't think anyone other than maybe RDA could take it from him. Who else in that division is really championship level? Maybe Diaz?

Gahdelah is the only fighter to have pushed Jedrzejczyk. It is going to be a good fight. Also, I don't think men can be 5'3 115. >_>

Gadelha was robbed imo. She dominated the first two rounds, and I thought she won a close third round. She certainly lost the fourth and fifth rounds. However, she lost on the scorecards 48-45, 48-46, 48-46. Even if she lost the close third round, there's no way she would have lost 4 and 5 by a score of 10-8 each, without having gotten a 10-8 or two herself in the first couple rounds. She rocked and dominated Joanna but was never really rocked herself, just took a lot of shots in the last two when she was gassed..I suppose this is the shit that happens when they keep insisting the big fights be in Nevada.

I wouldnt say robbed, but yeah, those werent 10-8 rounds. Her first two rounds were just as dominate as JJ's last two. Claudia was clearly out of gas and Joanna's strikes didnt really do any damage even though she was hitting a standing target. I could have seen it go either way, but it was clearly 48-47 for one or the other. I would have given it to JJ though, because she probably would have finished Claudia if there was no limit on rounds.

Like I said, JJ easily won the last 3 rounds. One could argue the 4th and 5th may have been 10/8, if you don't discredit JJ for not being able to finish.

Sad that Gadehla gassed after 3. It may have been more interesting.

Holy crap...UFC Fight Night: McDonald vs Lineker. The Ferguson vs Vannata fight is a fight of the year candidate!

Did Oleinik get his vile ass knocked the fuck out yet?

I'm not sure which fighter was who, but the Polish guy beat the Russian guy.

And McDonald vs Lineker was a pretty good fight as well, though quick. Lineker is one bad mofo.
