Should have not done Cruz/Faber and went with Cruz/Mighty Mouse, IMO. Flyweight needs time to recover from what Johnson has done to it.

It seems everyone wants that fight except for MM. That's the money fight, if there was one in the BW/FLW classes.

Biggest sub Conorweight class fight ever. But can't really blame a fighter for (apparently) not being that interested in fighting a bigger guy.

Easily. They have history, champion vs champion narrative and potentially another two-divisional champ.

I think Mouse will take the fight but wants to break the title defense record first.

Mayhem missed weight by 24 pounds.

Serves that promotion right for giving that guy a fight.

MMA media is getting ridiculous. I get Conor is a big star that people care about more than any other fighter for some reason (save Rousey probably), and it's going to be news whenever he says something, but...

He gave one interview, and it's 4 of the 5 top stories on MMAfighting. At least junkie limited it to 2 of the top 5.

I'm with you. To make 4 stories on one interview is kind of excessive and ridiculous

I like Fightmatrix, but I think Emil Weber Meek being the 9th ranked WW exposes a flaw in their system.

Go to 91:30, lovely story on why Rockhold hates Werdum so much and how Dan Henderson saved the day.
