UFC 200 was so bad.... Jose Aldo's english was the performance of the night.

Highlight for me wqa seeing hunt thrown to the mat almost like he was nothing. Surreal.

Lesnar is one scary ****ing dude.

WTF was Rafa angry about, in fact, wtf is he doing there in the first place!

Jedrzejczyk - Gadelha was a fun fight on the TUF finale, very intense and a real clash of styles, enjoyed it more than the UFC200 fights I watched.

Who will get knocked out next fight.
Much as i love Hunt - he was the opponent best suited for Lesnar.

Also, also.

This bloke now owns the UFC

Overall UFC199>UFC200

I think 202 might well beat them both.

Dana White is staying on as UFC president, so hopefully Rogan stays

[Gibbo]

I think DC took it easy on Anderson.

Overall a bit of a meh card, but it's not completely uncommon with so many well matched fights, sometimes you get that with main events. The main positives were Aldo looked excellent, and Sea Level Cain was back.

Don't think the Knee just Meisha earlier, it was certainly a punch that broke her nose.

UFC: Mixed martial arts company sold for a reported fee of $4bn.

The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), featuring such stars as Conor McGregor, Michael Bisping and Ronda Rousey, has been sold for a fee reported to be about $4bn (£3.1bn).

Talent agency WME-IMG confirmed its purchase of the mixed martial arts promotional company on Monday.

Founded in 1993, the UFC was bought for $2m (£1.55m) in 2001 by brothers Lorenzo and Frank Fertitta.

It calls itself the fastest-growing sports organisation in the world.

"No other sport compares to UFC," said Dana White, who will continue in his role as president of the UFC.

"Our goal has always been to put on the biggest and the best fights for our fans and to make this the biggest sport in the world. I'm looking forward to working with WME-IMG to continue to take this sport to the next level."

The UFC produces more than 40 live events each year and sells out some of the most prestigious arenas around the world.

Shows are broadcast in more than 156 countries and territories, to more than 1.1 billion households worldwide in 29 different languages.

The Fertittas will retain a passive minority interest in the organisation.

It was an illegal knee. But I dont think it look like it properly landed. Imagine if that finished the fight!

I guess DC was being booed because Silva is such a favorite now. He is probably the greatest ever. But DC made it a boring functional win. Maintained his aura of a champion though. Imagine if he went for broke and lost.

i'm surprised they didn't even show it at all after the fight

anybody watch over the weekend.

disappointed with the crowd booing DC

and surely that was an illegal knee that finished meisha tate?

Looking at Conor I think he's lost a bit of muscle around the leg area. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing, think he'll be more used to having a heavier frame now which makes him less likely to gas, I think that's incredibly important because this fight (if Diaz doesn't finish him) will go 5 rounds.

Don't think Connor is capable of KO'ing Diaz then ?

That's quite an issue for Connor tbf, but maybe knowing/accepting that will ensure he fights in a more tactically astute way in comparison to last time.

[Gibbo]

Just looking at a clip of McGregor and Diaz squaring up for the cameras for 200, and i didn't notice any big difference first fight, but today, Diaz looks a lot bigger all round, bigger than Conor in all physical areas that matter.
