              Yeah, I don't care about the main event either, but a few interesting matchups in there at the middle of the card.

                  ufc is trash how are there any new fans? Lpga has more entertainment value, im not joking. I got in during pride and now only watch for wrestlers i know. Sport is garbage and they make zero money. Boxing has an amazing card coming up this week. Burns vs Crawford should be great.

                    Japanese strawweight prodigy Mizuki Inoue targeted by UFC

                    Strawweight prospect Mizuki Inoue won't be a part of season 20 of "The Ultimate Fighter," but it looks like she will be in the UFC soon after the new division debuts.

                      stupid move by shu. but what do you expect. shu let akano get blitzed by cyborg weighing 150 lbs. mizuki trains in a gym for little kids and has some bad take down defense, she will get robbed and held down in the ufc. Japan completely f-cked this up. Mizuki should be boxing for a gold medal in 2016 and winning double gold in Tokyo in 2020. Mizuki would be a huge star like Mao winning the gold in boxing instead of getting into this stupid sport of mma. Imagine mizuki standing with double gold in Tokyo she would be the number 1 star in japan. Now no one will ever know about her.

                        The funny thing is, I'm the victim here. There's a girl on Twitter talking about a grappling match against Hughes. Then Hughes mentioned it. I said if we're going to do it, I want to hit the guy. Then he says I have to lose weight. Look, I'm a ninja turtle, I'm at my school, and I'm training six days a week. But I like my pasta. I'll put it down for the fight. I don't need anyone make a name off me. I like a legit grudge match between two old champions. I'll fight him for his job. What the heck does he do? Who's going to talk to that guy if he has a problem? GSP with his issues, if I was in that job, he'd still be in there fighting." - Serra

                                  Wow very interesting. Kind of bummed this happened. Once Vitor lost the TRT exempt, he was finished. Would have been easy money. This matchup is definitely a bit more dicey to pick a side. Still think Weidman is the side but not as confident as I was against Belfort. Wonder what the line will be...?

                                    im sure there will be some excuse as to why he cant compete...something along the lines of not being healthy to abruptly stop TRT because hes been on it for years but he also stated a few weeks ago hed fight weidman even if he wasnt granted a TUE so idk...lost respect for belfort w/ this move...i dont even think the TRT was the reason he was winning...TRT isnt the end all be all...belfort is just beastly but this was a corny move...not sure what the line will be on the new fight but i still like weidman for a pick at the moment...

                                      I loved Weidman all day vs. Vitor. Especially a non TRT, tested Vitor. But if Machida is near the odds Vitor was I will side with him. He has many more variables to do better. Better cardio. Better TDD. Can pretty much play keep away vs. anyone, even though that has lost him some decisions. More patient than any other fighter out there...doesn't care if he is boo'd out of the arena.

                                        Machida has a much higher chance of being able 2 defeat weidman than belfort had. should be an interesting matchup.

                                          Machida could cause an upset, you never know with machida there's no one like him and no way to train against his style might actually be worth throwing some money on the dog. as long as your covered if he loses.

                                            Books doesn't seem to have realized yet that Weidman is JBJ type scary. And i'll happily throw A TON on him against Machida aswell, i'd say Weidman is even more scary then JBJ because Weidman is further along in developing his technqiues.

                                                so apparently belfort was randomly tested 2.5 weeks ago around the time of the MMA awards...whats the chance belfort failed the test miserably and thats whats really behind him pulling out of the fight? a qoute from Weidman from a day ago...

                                                "Honestly I'm kind worried he's going to fail a drug test now that he's getting tested all the time," said Weidman. "Supposedly at the [World MMA Awards] ceremony a couple of weeks ago in Vegas, they supposedly just randomly drug tested him. Like a (urine) test. So now I'm getting worried he's going to fail ... It's all fun and games when I'm talking about him on TRT and how I don't like it and then all of a sudden I don't have a fight."

                                                        Love Machida in this fight. Weidman will gas after chasing him for five rounds. Nah kidding Weidman comes from the best camp in the business. Eventually he will wait for Machida to finally engage in round 4.

                                                          Much closer match-up than Vitor IMO.

                                                              Vitor Belfort: UFC pulled me from UFC 173; I didn't withdraw


                                                              Vitor Belfort announces it was not his decision to pull out from UFC 173, expects to fight the winner of Chris Weidman vs. Lyoto Machida next.


                                                              Hours after the UFC announced Lyoto Machida will replace "The Phenom" in a title fight with Chris Weidman on May 24 in Las Vegas, Nevada, Belfort posted a statement on his Facebook page on the subject.
                                                              According to the Brazilian, he didn’t decide withdraw from UFC 173 after the Nevada State Athletic Commission opted to ban the testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) on Thursday.
                                                              "Vitor Belfort didn’t give up on the fight," he wrote, "he was forced to give up.
                                                              "I never gave up on UFC 173 fight and never said that. Any information about it in the media is not true. What I said was that I’ll ‘quit on TRT’, and not ‘quit on the fight’, to continue my dream to fight."
                                                              Belfort says that he needed more time to get ready for a fight without the use of TRT, and he expects to fight the winner of Weidman vs. Machida when he returns.
                                                              "The UFC has decided to put another opponent in my place because of the fact that I won’t have time to suit NSAC’s new rules," he said. "According to the UFC, I will fight the winner of Weidman vs. Lyoto under the athletic commission new rules.
