onto UFC 208: Dana White is not happy with the referee. another devalued belt. the women's featherweight title didn't gain any more credibility last night. in fact, it probably lost some.. as little as it has any way. Germaine De Randamie established a large anti-fanbase with her 208 performance. Smart move by Dana White to state "Cyborg is next" because GDR's haters will pay big money to watch her get her head kicked in. After seeing all this Halo Wars 2 advertising i'm going ot run right out and get the ultimate edition.  | ||

regarding Halloway getting i title shot my explicit, specific comments have already been made. do i ever mention Halloway does not deserve a title shot. More than once now i've said Halloway deserves a title shot. Halloway does not deserve a belt which should not exist because the current champ is active. Germaine De Randamie is running from Cyborg already. | ||

![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/pSQGkcl.jpg) Germaine De Randamie claims she needs surgery on ligaments damaged in a fight in March 2015. She can't fight Cyborg. Now, she wants a Holm fight. ok. | ||

Do you guys think that Germaine shoulda got points deduced on the first or the second late hit? Normally I'd probably say second, but given how hard the first one landed and just how late after the bell it was, I woulda been completely fine with her losing a point right then and there. | ||

Lol what. As long as the opponent is ready to fight within 15 months, you can't just say I'm going to fight for the belt with someone else, especially after you're busted for roids. If UFC is on board of this, then we're definitely watching a fairly quick fall from grace by management who doesn't know how to think. It's been such a sad time to be a UFC fan since the sale, sigh. They're trying to run the company like a steel screw manufacturer, but all these intangibles that are difficult to write in the accounting books are not being considered at all by current ownership. | ||

UFC now making coaches buy Fight Pass subscriptions to study opponents Studying opponents can likely be one of the biggest roles for a coach in mixed martial arts. By knowing their opponents strengths and weaknesses, it helps them to develop their gameplan to increase their chances of winning. On Tuesday, Brandon Gibson, coach at JacksonWink MMA and the BMF Ranch stated that the UFC notified him that they will no longer be providing footage of their opponents and that they would have to subscribe to Fight Pass to study tape. source: http://www.bjpenn.com/mma-news/brandon-gibson/ufc-now-making-coaches-buy-fight-pass-subscriptions-to-study-opponents/ UFC, you're a goof. Can someone explain this logic to me, and what good it will do? | ||

If GSP is comes back we could have a Hendricks//GSP rematch at a rolling catchweight of whatever weight Hendricks can get himself down to. I'm sure everyone is dying to see Hendricks and GSP fight at 195 lbs. | ||

5% is very easy, like I could go do that myself starting tomorrow with only the help of google. 10% of body-weight is considered an easy-to normal weight cut. 15% is what top guys who really have it down do if everything goes perfectly, without a significant drop in performance 20% weight cut is on the hardcore end, where you'll have performance loss, really struggle to hit weight, bad for your health, etc. If that's what the fighter has to reach, success rate is probably 30%~ in the UFC. 25% Ballpark figures of largest weight cuts achieved in the history of UFC. Probably not possible nowadays with the IV ban. These is the rough weight loss between weigh ins and 2 weeks before the fight (though more than half of that weight is lost in the last 2 days). | ||
