Apparently the main politician that has been keeping MMA out of NY is going to be arrested on corruption charges.
Sheldon Silver, New York Assembly Speaker, Faces Arrest on Corruption Charges
So, MMA in NY looks like a done deal. Also Dana recently hinted that it would happen soon so maybe he knew something.

Ben Saunders vs Erick Silva added to Fight Night 62 in Rio in March. Guaranteed fireworks as long as it lasts.
On paper it looks like win for Silva. Saunders is like a taller, skinnier, and less skilled Matt Brown. But he's a bit more grapple oriented, and who knows how he'll react to body shots. Plus he's got decent gas so if he weathers the early storm he can make Silva's life a real unhappy existence. He uses his height(6'3) to land clinch knees and to threaten/sink in subs from any angle on the ground. He does not particularly use it to keep good range, which is stupid. He needs to sit down and watch Cerrone/Alvarez and learn that stifling knee, and watch Semmy Schilt running through the best strikers in the world using his length. Maybe watch some Klitschko's to learn that killer jab.

Nico is heightening!
edit: So Cro Cop said right away the reason he was coming back to the UFC was to avenge losses. He claims he's healthy for the first time in years and wants to take care of business.
First fight scheduled. UFC Poland, April 11th headliner. Mirko Cro Cop Filipovic vs. Gabriel Gonzaga.
What do you call it when something is hilariously stupid AND something you didn't know you desperately wanted but are now very excited for?
