Looks like it’ll be Woodley bs Usman on March 2nd as the Co-main to Bones vs Anthony smith if bones can get licensed in Nevada.

I don’t even like Colby but it’s messed up how the ufc does their match making. I think what it is is Dana wants Woodley out of there. Colby has almost no chance to beat him but Usman does have a shot. Tyron better make sure this doesn’t go to a decision.


I really like Kamaru, think he'd be a dangerous opponent for Woodley.

I think Covington is overrated and a clown. Can't stand his cringeworthy attempts to trash talk or try and be cool.

I also definitely agree that Dana doesn't like Tyron, he's never liked him, and would be grinning like a damn fool if Kamaru is able to handle business.

Completely agreed Mo. I’ll be tuning in just to see the Dana antics should Tyron win again lol.

I heard Colby was threatening to go to another promotion over this. Lima or Rory vs Colby might be interesting.

I'm not 100% sure how it started, but Woodley has some Floyd like tendencies with how he approaches fights (intelligently). In his two fights with Wonderboy and against Maia Woodley fought stylistically in the best way to win the fight, but not the best way to make the fight exciting. This pisses Dana off because he wants Woodley to go out there swinging for the fences every fight and make it a bloodbath generating more $$$. Woodley picks whichever path is the safest for him to win. He criticizes Woodley publicly for it and doesn't try booking him any money fights because of it. This causes Woodley to have sort of a victim complex, which makes Dana hate him (and some of the fans) even more.

Thanks for the nice breakdown, 22. Always appreciate you.

Woodley went to war with Wonderboy in their first fight. I see zero room for complaints in that one. Second fight snooze was as much Thompson’s fault as Ty’s.

I’m not sure what anyone would expect from a Maia fight other than what’s happened in every single one of his fights. So I think there’s a disconnect with the sound reasoning you provided and the reality of Dana’s thinking.

It’s obviously personal. That shot of Dana’s face while Woodley was being named the winner of the fight against Till was hilariously epic.

I know Dana has a problem with Woodley’s injuries and surgeries but that’s only justifiable if Ty’s playing possum, which Dana’s comments and attitude imply. My guess is it has to do with negotiations and opportunities.

Ty has a chip on his shoulder to begin with so when he murked Lawler, he probably had an expectation of how he was going to be paid and treated. Probably felt like he’d paid his dues to get there and wanted to be compensated and that view was probably amplifies by what he saw other fighters getting. When it didn’t go the way he hoped and Dana started souring on him and questioning him, didn’t Ty suggest race was a factor?

Either way, Till was placed in that fight to remove Woodley and that it didn’t happen is why Usman is getting the nod. He’s got the better shot to dethrone Woodley.

It’s a shame it’s gone down like this because Tyron is a beast.

100%! Ty did bring race into it and that really pissed everyone off lol.

I don’t think it’s about race, but Dana just doesn’t agree with how he does things. Also agreed that’s why Usman was picked over Colby

Is all the Dillashaw hype as the predetermined winner such a good idea?

Cejuno is very strong and it is His belt..

Now TJ is already talking about challenging Holloway..

Confidence and ego are great but this feels a bit overboard

White boy went Hulkamania in round 2.. (bleep) Hardy blasted him right behind the ear with an illegal knee while on the ground

I think he went street mode because he was losing and didn't think clearly

The shot that tagged him looked like it just grazed him but it was right on the temple. Sent him to Q street.

TJ was due for a humbling and the bell rang.

Props to Cejudo for making the most of his opportunity.

Glover can take a licking.

Cejudo will now get a title shot at 135.

Kinda funny he wanted to resurrect 125 but now he will go fight at 135 lol. I understand though he’s gotta do whats best for him

Pretty good card!

Ego without respect for your opponent is a really ugly trailer trash mentality

I cannot like Dillashaw until he finds some humility

Quote:

“I am leaps and bounds better than Henry Cejudo,” Dillashaw said. “I greatly believe that. But unfortunately, I didn’t get a chance to prove it.”


You got a chance and looked like a little kid fighting a man.

Thought it was an early stoppage, where is Mario Yamasaki when you need him?

Nonetheless, Cejudo was all over TJ like a rash, and perhaps would've put him down for real if he'd been given the chance.

Nice to see TJ getting a bit of an ego check too.

Conor v Cerrone would be an interesting fight. Man the stand up would be intense and there would be some shots landing in that one.
