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

Doubtful, Dana seems to have a hatred for her right now. Plus in the past she's failed to make weight by 5 pounds at 145. Add in the previous failed drug test and I can't see UFC being willing to risk giving her a title shot in her first fight. Not when you have an American Olympian who can draw a crowd as the champion.

Miocic versus Dos Santos is the co-main for UFC 173. A bit of a gamble there, what are they gonna' do if JDS wins? Miocic is basically the only viable contendere they have after Browne and Werdum.

[Gazz]

Hope Overeem beats someone relevant.

Mac Danzig has announced his retirement, citing health reasons

Takanori Gomi, ex top 155er, is now fighting Isaac Valle-Flag at UFC 172 after Danny Castillo drops out.

Jake Shields has claimed he would like a title shot next, if he beats Hector Lombard in their 170lb fight at UFC 171

[Benjamin]

I think if the winner of Shields and Lombard, they'll put him and Rory together. If Condit wins he's most probably getting the next title shot.

Is the Fight Night from tomorrow not on TV?

For any UK people who care, it's live on C5.

Anyone watching the Bellator card? Heavyweight tourney, which means fun, at least!

Plus some title or something

Cyrille Diabate is retiring after tomorrow's fight. Oh, and Davey Grant vs Roland Delorme has been cancelled as per UFC UK on Twitter. Bit of a late one considering both guys made weight.

EDIT- They were waiting on a MRI scan on Grant's knee and apparently it's too bad for him to fight. Both guys get their show money though.

EDIT x2- Jay Hieron (23-7, 0-4 UFC, 3-1 Bellator) has announced his retirement. He hasn't fought since getting starched by Tyron Woodley at UFC 156

Isn't Fight Pass on XBox?

[Rich]

Nope, no apps for anything like a console yet.

I really don't like the British commentators and the announcer. Maybe it's because I'm used to Buffer/Rogan etc but it just feels a bit second rate. Also I really dislike John Gooden and his stupid bowties.

[Liam]

Does the Brit in the main event actually have much of a chance?

[Cymbols]

Not sure really. He's 3-0 in the UFC and his last 4 fights have ended via injury/doctor stoppage so he's alright. But Gustafsson is most likely on another level so it's fair to say that he's the overwhelming favorite. Should be a decent fight regardless I think.

[Rich]

Jimi is a great athlete, but Gus is the better all round fighter.

I am really liking the UK announce team, it makes the card feel different to the "normal" cards and Gooden and Hardy know their stuff and seem passionate enough.

I also like Gooden dressing more smartly, between Buffer's and Goldie's mob bosses gone wrong look and Rogan's "EVERYONE LOOK AT MY NIPPLES" shirts I feel like it is much more professional.

[Liam]

Are the prelims on somewhere?

[Cymbols]

Change is good, and Dan Hardy has potential but something about Gooden just annoys me! I also thought that Brad Scott won that fight but apparently not.

EDIT- The Prelims are on fight pass, so you have to pay or get a free trial I think.

[Liam]

Meh. Thanks.
