"in 2015 Jackson Wink had over 60 professional bouts including over 40 UFC bouts with only 1 fighter being forced out with injury. The secret ingredients? Spacious new facilities, technical and Elite coaching, and on-site therapy services from Elite-OSM. Nearly 99% of Jackson Wink fighters made it through training camp to their book fights in 2015. We are taking training to a whole new level at JacksonWink Academy and Elite Ortho-Therapy and Sports Medicine."
they stripped McG of the 145 lb belt. now that Aldo is the champ why even create an interim title? Aldo became the champ in July. its like they are creating an interim belt just to make UFC 206 seem like it deserves your $60.
yep, looks like a union is on the way. i wonder what law firms and lawyers will be brought into this.
if Vince Mcmahon sold the WWE and stopped running it and retired it might still make some money but no where near what the WWE makes with Mcmahon at the top. the guy is an irreplaceable genius.
i wonder if the same thing happens to the UFC without the Fertitta's running the show. Ronda already has 1 foot out the door giving McG huge bargaining power. Now a possible union?
The Fertitta's sold at just the right time. I wonder if deep down inside Dana knows this and has mentally cashed out even if he is still collecting a pay cheque.
It'll be hilarious if 2 years from now the Fertittas buy back the UFC for less than a billion.
Appearently these guys are all represented by the biggest rival of WME. Seems there are some power plays behind the curtains going on. Didnt know Ari Gold (Emanuel) actually bought the UFC lol.
the NYSAC waived that 6 month suspension of Gastelum for not weighing-in. This allows him to fight Tim Kennedy @ UFC 206.
Michael Bisping has not defended his middleweight title in over 3 months so the UFC has decided that this Gastelum//Kennedy fight will be for the UFC interim middleweight title with the winner fighting Bisping.

Holy fuck, UFC has actually gotten to complete and utter shit.
You should not be allowed to create an interim belt UNLESS you have suspicions that the fighter in question wont be able to fight for at least 12 months from his last fight, or more reasonably 15-18 months.
Might as well create a silver belt, bronze belt, etc for everyone in the division so everything is for a belt, sigh.
Oh phew, woops, my sarcasm sensors didn't go off S:
Also I was mad about the interim belt with Holloway. Fine, give Aldo the belt, but making the UFC 206 fight for the interim belt makes no sense whatsoever. Aldo will be ready to fight right away.

sry about that man.. its only a good joke if someone bites on it though.
the main event is really just a top contender fight. at least, they've elevated Aldo to full champ and the FW division can move forward. this interim featherweight championship thing is silly. its a good fight and i'm looking forward to it.
EPT
