Though there are discussion pages and forums on these websites as well, I recommend that you also discuss topics on TeamLiquid as well. These websites can feature the bottom-of-the-barrel MMA fans who have virtually no discussion-worthy input such as "screw gsp boring canadian" or "i trane ufc, i could beat any fighter in the ufc". There will always be points/notes of discussion, such as post-UFC event discussions, MMA news, and any MMA related events we might partake in ourselves.
Please do not ask in the thread for illegal streaming services to watch Pay-Per-View events.
OP note: If you are new to MMA in either practicing it as a sport or keeping up with the UFC and have any questions, feel free to post in the thread your questions or shoot me a PM!

Anyways, Cain has an injured back; Miocic will now face Werdum at 196 for the title.
Can't say I'm surprised. Its about surprising as Yoel getting popped for roids. Its sad though. Cain likely spent most of his prime injured.

The sad part is the guys at AKA have said they won't change how they train.
Yeah, I heard long ago that many thought the way Cain trained and getting his cardio to be what it was that his body could not handle it. So basically what made him great has also destroyed him. Poor jds took so much punishment by just catching Cain in his prime. And now he two is a shadow of his former self.
Conor and Ronda prolly made the most money from the UFC in 2015. A lot goes into their success. But, they also get the simple things right. They show up.
Horray for 2016 thread. I like it this way. Thanks SynC[gm]

UFC 196 is now on Fox Sports 1. i guess they are not going to try and cobble together some kind of heavyweight fight to replace the previous main event. a WW non-title fight is now the main event.
McG gets angry at a presser about not being able to show off his featherweight title belt. McG laments his belt is not shown on posters and other promo material. Dana counters with a perfectly logical explanation. Logic does not matter folks. McG gets his way. LOL.
