We will see, it should be entertaining either way :)

Do you wonder if going from the UFC to a lower organization like Bellator feels like going from the Varsity team to JV to those guys?

No not at all. With UFC not allowing sponsorship and bellator allowing sponsors for their fighters I think alot of ufc fighters are viewing bellator as a better option financially for thier careers. Since Coker has taken control of bellator i think they have gained major ground on the ufc and are not far off from being the better product.

Alot of people also said strikeforce was inferior to the ufc but just look at the top ufc fighters are now champs like cormier,lawler and werdum had all came over from stikeforce and it also had the womens division with rousey.

UFC is only a big hype train and like nick diaz said they sell wolf tickets.

LOL and just look at what luke rockhold had to say today about the UFC hype train. He even says what I did how strickforce was far superior to the UFC but the casual fans only care about the UFC instead of other more legit fight orginizations

Good night of fights last night

Ortiz got caught in a bad submission after being in control the whole time ala the way fedor got sub'd by werdum.

After seeing Ortiz control and take mcgearty down at will I have no doubts the Phil davis is going to 100% wreck mcgeary.

No pal. Mma is a sport like any other.Some preferred wcw,some wwf when they had a choice. It's all a matter of opinion. Personally I always preferred pride over ufc.

Over the years since I watched ufc 1, the brand has grown and grown and now has the best roster in the business. They have made the brand known throughout the world. The ufc to me has the better fighters and fighter I enjoy watching.

Only way bellator can be better than the ufc is to either take ufc fighters and force people to watch both or to get the crop of new gen fighters and force fighters away from the ufc. But both would require improving the brand and global view ability. As far as I'm aware they don't even have anywhere in uk to watch it live.

UFC has good cards obviously, but they have a lot of duds too, I think it's cause bellator fighters want to make a name for themselves and UFC fighters are more concerned about getting the win then putting on a entertaining fight

Jon Jones officially back on the UFC roster!

"Following a review of the plea agreement reached by Jon Jones and officials in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and the judge’s decision, UFC announced today the formal reinstatement of Jones to the UFC roster. Effective immediately, Jones is eligible to return to competition. As such, UFC expects Jones to meet all of the terms of his plea agreement, including mandatory community service, as a condition of his reinstatement.

UFC is currently discussing with Jones a potential date for his return to the Octagon.

“We've made it clear to Jon that this new opportunity to compete in UFC is a privilege and not a right, and that there are significant expectations we have regarding his conduct moving forward," said UFC Chairman and CEO Lorenzo Fertitta. “We’re happy to read and see reports that he has embraced the terms of his plea agreement and is using this experience to grow and develop as a person.”

“I am thankful to be able to do what I love once again and I look forward to proving myself as a champion in and outside of the Octagon,” Jones said."
