So I am going to be in Vegas for 205. Any suggestions on where to watch it?

I have called a bunch of the sportbooks (ie Caesar's, MGM, etc) and they are all saying that they will only have the undercard on since it is free. I guess they don't want to pay however many of thousands of dollars to buy the ppv.

Try Westgate. They have the biggest sports book in Vegas. If it's a big event they usually show it.

GSP sent out a video saying he made peace with Dana, and met with the new head of the UFC. Still not fighting Bisping at UFC 206, but I guess there is still a chance he fights for the UFC.

Just checked with Westgate, same answer as the others. I am pretty sure the hotel doesn't want to have to pay the gobs of money to buy the ppv for every TV feed.

Thanks for the headsup tho, might go over to Westgate for Sunday NFL Football.

I have been in Vegas for a number of UFC events. I never found a single place that would show the PPV's. I don't know if it is an official "non-compete" order or just that none of the casinos give a fuck. A pirated feed back in your hotel room might be your only option.

Muurloen Hope this helps.

UFC Bars - NV

As a former local I would always go to one of the Station Casinos. All the Stations are owned by the Fertitta Family. It would be a $10 cover and $5 20oz beers. I was surprised they were still listed on that site considering the Fertittas sold the UFC but maybe part of the deal was they still get exclusive PPV rights over all the other Casinos. I assume you are staying on the strip and therefore, the closest Station would be the Palace. That place is a dive, I suggest Buffalo Wild Wings or one of the other chain restaurants on the list.

Honda was on Ellen again and said she's on the way to wrapping up her career after this fight.

Good. The sooner that E. Ronda is out of this sport the better.

Rockhold vs. Souza has been scrapped due to Rockhold injury. Brunson vs. Whittaker probably now the main event. Souza might get a title shot at UFC 206 in Toronto.

Jesus Rockhold went from telling everyone no one in the division had anything for him as the newly minted champion to peon in less than 2 fights.

Cerrone: I’d gladly be face of a fighters union

I can't think of a better person to be the face of a fighters union. Wonder if it would ever happen

Fight · Nov 3, 2016

The union probably needs to happen. Though, the UFC had better retain 100% of the match making rights. If the fighters start to fuck with that aspect of the sport and start ducking one another, they will inevitably end up like boxing.

100% agree

calhoonjugganaut · Nov 3, 2016

Gotta get up at 04:30 Saturday morning for work but gonna stay up and watch the Bellator main event tomorrow. Phil Davis and Liam McGeary...could be boring but could be a good fight.

Oblio · Nov 3, 2016

I am so fucking excited for UFC 205! I wish it was this weekend, going to be a great night. The best part for me is that it will be a fun night out with my wife & friends at an awesome Sushi Sports Bar.

It would be a slippery slope with a fighters association. I could see them calling bullshit on shit like the Bisping/Henderson fight where Henderson should have never gotten that shot, but if somebody starts ducking other fighters in the union it'll tear the union apart.

And to Fight's point, the UFC should totally maintain control over the fights.

zombiewizardhawk · Nov 4, 2016

Yeah, if there was a union (and I'm not opposed to the idea either with UFC keeping controlling of fights) it should just be to help fix the pay system for the 99% etc. after the whole reebok/sponsors stuff.
