Condit looked kind of... gassed?
What in the world were you watching sir? Thiago literally landed nothing.

Woooo! So glad to have Condit back. How can you not love that guy?

That event ended up being pretty good head to toe. Give that strap to Condit.
Prob cause UFC brass thinks Brazilian fans only want to see fellow Brazilians. Except for the main events most of the Brazil cards are loaded up with nobodies and TUF wash outs.
If it's him I'm sure we won't find out til July 12th

Alves nose got pushed up into his forehead. Shit was nasty. Good to see Condit back in action though.
ANyway, so it's June and we haven't heard shit about CM Punk yet. What's the deal? Anyone think there could be some sort of snag? Like Punk and/or the UFC realizing he's nowhere near ready enough and has no business headlining a UFC card?

Samman wrote an article on the Reebok deal that's actually interesting.

No way this Reebok thing sticks around long . It's a ridiculous approach to an organization that has a long way before making the UFC into a legitimate sport .
How does the Expo work when fighters can't have other sponsors? Lol

Exactly, it works with the NFL and the NBA because of their union and how their payout works. UFC pays as little as $10k a fight with zero guarantees.

Latest UFC cut list. Kinda surprised about Tim Elliott. He always brings it and has pretty entertaining fights. And you figure that weight class needs all the warm bodies it can get.
Tim Elliott
Dylan Andrews
Louis Gaudinot
Alptekin Ozkilic
Vik Grujic
Shayna Baszler
Shane Howell
Rocky Lee
Tateki Matsuda
Alexander Torres

Elliot, Gadinot, Baszler? If so, then ditto.

Didn't Horiguchi get his title shot by beating Gaudinot? Who Elliot also beat? Maybe the UFC's plan is to downsize the Flyweight division to just two fighters: Mighty Mouse and whoever's challenging him.

will gently cradle you as time slowly ticks away.
I trained with one of those guys (Rocky Lee) in Taiwan. I imagine he'll get a contract with One FC fairly easily.
Also, I've been packing strawberries in a farm for like 15 cents per 250g box. I imagine I'm making barely enough to pay my rent. Or in other words I'm considered a UFC champion in the Reebok deal.

I remember Baszler on TUF acting like she was the biggest badass in the world, only to get completely embarrassed in her first fight on the show. Her two fights in the UFC afterwards were just as bad--she gases as fast as a heavyweight. She also got TKO'd by a leg kick a couple minutes into one of her fights.
Good article, nice to get a little more perspective on the issue, even if it is just another piece explaining how bad this deal shafts the fighters. It sounds worse every time I read about it.
