The UFC is out for the next 2 weekends and Fightpass has absolutely nothing for the first time since they started, but we've got other promotions stepping in to fill the void.
For the first time in a while, I'm actually kinda looking forward to Bellator. They are having both of their semifinal heavyweight grand prix fights this weekend. Friday 8pm - (Paramount) - Bellator 207, Mitrione vs. Bader This is a top-heavy card. The last two fights are going to be fun, but the rest of the card is prospects and guys I never heard of. Saturday 8pm - (NBCSN) - PFL 9 The opening round of the PFL's playoffs in their lightweight and light heavyweight tournament. I assume you can see more fights before the TV broadcast on Facebook as usual. 8pm - (Paramount) - Bellator 208, Fedor vs. Sonnen I would watch the PFL except..... they had the bad luck or made the bad decision to compete with what is a very good Bellator card. The last 4 fights should all be worth watching. https://images.tapology.com/poster_i...jpg?1535035560 |
Dana White admitted that UFC 229 will not break 3 million buys, but it will break their record and go well over 2 million buys.
He also changed his mind on possibly stripping Khabib and now says that it absolutely will not happen. He thinks Khabib ought to be suspended between 4 and 6 months, and get a $250K fine. https://www.mmafighting.com/2018/10/...-ufc-229-brawl |

So, I think they are squeezing as much money out of DC as they can. Give him this easy fight, hype up the fight against Brock in January, and then win or lose maybe they can then cash out and throw him at Jon Jones in March. |

The UFC wants DC to end his career at HW defending that title. |
Now that they have set this up as the MSG main event, the UFC is going to let Joanna have her title shot back in December.

Derrick Lewis winning the HW title on 4 weeks notice with, maybe a 2nd-round KO (his cardio is gone after 3 rounds) would be the most dumb, hilarious, and chaotic outcome imaginable.

He didn't mean any of what he said the night of the fight. The UFC being blamed for inciting a riot is business ending.
But tears and rage on. |
I like Cormier, but pulling for Lewis 1000%. It would be hilarious to watch the UFC scramble after something like that.
