off topic who would u say is in charge with the jones/ufc contract situation, on one hand it looks like he has them over a barrel considering whats at stake if he doesnt sign.But on the other hand they didnt just accidentally announce a date but nix it cuz jones is still yet to sign a new contract, there is a method to their madness.

I think the UFC's original plan was to set up Brown/Diaz, but that fell apart and they called up Robbie. What do you mean deserves better? Are you saying Robbie deserves better or Brown?

I wonder what will happen with a Hector and T Woodley win. They're teammates at ATT. Woodley would fight Hector i think, but Hector won't fight any ATT guys. He'd rather just not have the belt. They'd be the top two contenders imo, so who knows.

It must be tough for them too. Woodley probably though he was going into this fight vs. Rory, with it being for a title shot. To have that idea taken away from you so close to the fight has to be tough mentally.

Brown is getting a #1 contender fight. This is a huge opportunity for him and it's against an opponent who's going to stand and trade with him. He's in a very good position.

If both fighters (Woodley and Lombard) win their respective fights, a #1 contender fight between the two makes the most sense.
