Did not look very impressive... Understatement of the century. Dude's first fight ever and all he did was literally run away.

Derrick Lewis for retirement stakes fight. If Overeem wins, resign with UFC. Loss, Bellator.
But if I'm matchmaker-- I don't want to burn Bubba Lewis on a has-been fight. It devalues him, albeit its a great fight to solidify his legitimacy as a serious competitive heavyweight of high caliber. On second thought, it makes a lot of sense.

How about his size? We've never seen guys this big before without steroids. Overeem looked like a fat child. He's a fucking problem for anybody.
Its the new Lesnar except replace chemical enhancement with raw genetics. When he hit that KO we had a guy scream and stomp down "AND HE PISSES CLEAN!!". The real is real.
HW division is interesting again.

Conor replied to a picture of Holloway looking beat up and just said something like, "I miss the glasses."

Mark Hunt cleared for return to Octagon
The veteran slugger underwent a series of medical exams at the Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health at the request of the UFC after revealing symptoms of head trauma earlier this year.
...
'The Super Samoan' passed tests in Sydney but was told he wouldn't be cleared until he was examined by the organisation's doctors in Vegas.
Hunt's manager Zen Ginnen told The Daily Telegraph that Brazilian former champ Fabricio Werdum would be the preferred opponent.
“So we would love for Fabricio to be Mark’s opponent in Perth,’’ Ginnen said.
“We think Francis Ngannou is next in line for a title fight (with champ Stipe Miocic). So we’d like to go up against Fabricio and hopefully be in line for a title shot at the back end of 2018.”

News ringing hollow without a new Stipe deal signed. Glad they are choosing to ignore Hunt's lawsuits, accusations, and out of ring antics on social media though. The NFL would react otherwise.
The UFC probably feels bad about the lawsuit since it will just end up with Hunt owing them legal fees. I can't remember if the Wanderlei suit..oh nevermind, the UFC sued Wanderlei, not the other way around.
That is a really interesting dynamic. Wanderlei gets sued for talking shit on social media, but Hunt is shrugged off for making similar insinuations and about to be cleared to fight. Brazilian racism?

think Hunt has a chance to win, ufc changing the rules for brocks return gives it a little weight

did the Wanderlei lawsuit end with anything other than a facebook apology?

Ronda Rousey's move to WWE appears to be imminent
Two people close to Rousey told USA TODAY Sports that she is finalizing details of her move to WWE. The people requested anonymity because the switch has not been announced.
----
UFC middleweight champion Georges St-Pierre said Wednesday he's uncertain whether he'll fight again at 185 pounds to defend his title.
"We'll talk about it, but I'm not sure if I compete I will go back at 185," St-Pierre said to TSN. "I don't think so."
St-Pierre is expected to be sidelined for the foreseeable future due to a bout of colitis, and the UFC is reportedly moving on with the division, with interim champion Robert Whittaker in talks to fight Luke Rockhold at UFC 221.

I can't fucking stand Wren. Guy goes to Africa once and is like "Hey, I've got a Pygmy family now". Not to mention he's there to spread his bullshit religion.
