Even after subbing guys like Gus, I always felt he should have left the UFC and improved on his stand up in smaller orgs. Now its too late. Hes a lost cause
You don't leave the UFC in the position he was in, that's crazy talk

^^That fight would be great between the 2 if it happens. I thought Eddie had one more fight he had do w/Bellator, but if he was able to get out of it and sign with the UFC :blessed:

This is not a done deal yet, so I wouldn't get too excited. :lupe:

If it does happen, Cerrone via TKO. I don't think Alvarez's chin holds up.



My thoughts exactly. But Cerrone can be a punching bag, at times and Alvarez has good, active striking...it's gonna be Alvarez bouncing around and Cerrone trying to walk him down methodically. this 178 card is stacking up to be an all-time great event...even without Gus.

He's a perrenial top 5/top 10 guy in the light heavyweight division....what other type of fighter can he possibly fight?

He just fought a guy similar to Glover and got wrecked. You step back and fight a guy like Bader, Feijao, or Rua. Hell even a guy like Cummings would not have been far fetched. Thats what Bader does. Fight a top guy, lose, and face a can or low ranked guy to get his confidence back. You don't go from Anthony Johnson to a fighter with equal heavy hands and an even better ground game

Bones suffered a deep cut over his eye during training. Shouldn't have any effect on the fight though per Dana White.
