Rumors, likely:

Lawler-Saffiedine
MacDonald-Ellenberger
Danzig-Guillard

Hard to know if Rory vs Ellenberger is headline material for a Fox card. Considering how stacked the card is next weekend, Fox 7, I don't think so.

I know this is a weird sentiment, but I kind of get disappointed when we see sf guys matched with sf guys, even though they never fought. Kennedy/Gracie, Lawler/Saffedine etc. Besides sf sucking at the end, the intrigue in the merger for me was matchups that were never possible. Kennedy/Stann, Gracie/Ring, Lawler/Kos was fun, Saffedine/someone Pierce's level...Jacare/Philippou is awesome...Cormier/Mir is awesome...

Agree completely, that was my first thought when the fight was announced.

Demeitrus Johnson will likely be on it defending his title against John Moraga

Tate/Carmouche planned, if Tate gets clearance in time.

People who know more than me: Is Carmouche good? Like is she a top women's fighter? Or was she just kind of in the right place at the right time?

I think she's good, but not elite.

She also has a win over "unknown fighter" on her record.

Schaub/Mitrione added.

I can't distinguish those guys anyway. ^

I think one of them played football for sure.

Guillard is 1W, 4Ls in his last five. The Blackzillians aren't exactly gonna turn that around (LOL!).

Some good female talent in those two fights. All women whom I could recognize, anyway. And women who can bang too.

lol at Mitrione's "suspension".

Carmouche will now face Jessica Andrade with Meisha out. If history repeats itself, Carmouche will lose, as Andrade doesn't have a losing record.

Which would set up Rousey/Carmouche II.

I pay more attention to women's MMA than most, and I have no idea who Jessica Andrade is. I think Carmouche should be okay.

Well I don't know anything about Andrade, but supposedly 6 of her 9 wins came against fighters making their pro debut.

You can tell almost nothing about a female fighter by her record. A lot of them fight cans and a lot of the good ones fight nothing but top tier fighters.

Saff is out against Lawler, Siyar Badmanhurtzada is in his place.

Bang. Fest.

I hope they haymaker each other into oblivion.
