***spoilers*** UFC News and Discussion Thread

[EddieG]

After all the hype, we'll now get months upon months of Conor saying how Aldo's scared.

[Benjamin]

We've already almost a year of that already :/

Pedeineras has said that Aldo might likely be out until October, but the fight is officially still on.

[EddieG]

Oh yeah, but it'll just add fuel to Conor's fire.

[Draevyn]

Move the fight till October. I can do with that wait. Don't replace him though because otherwise it'll be next year before we see this fight.

[Benjamin]

The fight is still on. Mendes is on tap as a replacement in case anything goes wrong.

[Lineker]

Watching on a slight delay.

Holy shit, Thiago Santos!

[Cymbols]

So much basic jiu-jitsu on that card, dreadful. Thiago Santos and Yoel Romero super impressive mind.

[Cymbols]

Wait what did Yoel Romero say afterwards??

[Gazz]

So much basic jiu-jitsu on that card, dreadful.

Excuse me, that's my gimmick.

Romero is backpeddling on his post match anti gay rant faster than a broken footed Kalib Starnes...

Wait what did Yoel Romero say afterwards??

"What happened to you, USA? What happened to you? What's going on, you forget that the best in the best of the world, the name is Jesus Christ?"

"What happened to you?! Wake up USA! Go back. Go! Go for Jesus, no forget Jesus!"

[Benjamin]

I honestly thought he said "Go for Jesus, no for gay Jesus!"

But seriously, I was so high on this guy and he had to go and do that Eurgh, his explanation sounds slightly plausible, but with the timing, I just can't buy it.

[Benjamin]

Apparently I'm not the only one who thought he said "no gay Jesus", that's what a lot of the media heard as well.

[Walker]

I didn't see it myself but Tommy Toe Hold makes it hilarious:

Ok here's a throwback question, but I can't find the answer in looking for. I know Rampage left Bellator to fight in UFC again, but did he not walk out of a contract, and if so how was this deemed legal?

There was a clause in the Bellator Contract that he was aloud to leave if he wasn't given everything he was promised and part of the deal was a movie deal and he never got it so he left

[Benjamin]

I think he was also promised another reality series.

[Rich]

Bellator's contracts before Rebney left and Coker took over were getting a little bit weird and ridiculous as they tried to bring in some name talent.

[Benjamin]

I love how Rebney is the most hated promoter in MMA and the guy who took over him might be the most beloved, at least by the fighters.

[Rich]

I don't think Rebney is hated, he just became part of something which grew past what he could handle.

[EndOfAnEra]

I love how Rebney is the most hated promoter in MMA and the guy who took over him might be the most beloved, at least by the fighters.

I thought a lot of fighters had issues with Coker?

[Benjamin]

If anyone wants to watch, the UFC Reebok Fight Kit Launch is happening right now.
