I imagine the next stop for McGregor will be the winner of Edgar and Swanson, the winner of which will take on the Mendes Aldo victor, which in itself is a really interesting fight.

Special mention for Cruz by the way, he looked absolutely brilliant coming back and I think he would make short work of Dillashaw.

I'd be very surprised if they put McGregor in with either Edgar or Swanson in the next fight.

For all the hype McGregor is very raw. His fight on Saturday wasn't even on the main card.

A few more fights before he's ready to face the big boys of the division.

Knee injury.

Mark Hunt (yes, really ) to fight Werdum for the interim Heavyweight title

Seems they are having most events ruined by injuries nowadays.

Yeah, they've had a particularly bad run of late. That's reflected in sum very average PPV numbers this year.

UFC 180 was the first event to be held in Mexico. Valazquez missing from the card no doubt puts a major downer on it.

Cannot wait for Hunt to win the belt. Absolute legend!

Aldo v Mendes last night

[Gibbo]

Great fight, thought the judges scoring was right as well.

Aldo.

[meffin]

For somebody with such good stand up, Aldo doesn't seem to finish many people

Gabi garcia (wins everything in BJJ) has dropped loads of weight in order to compete in MMA.

This was her before

[Gibbo]

Charges dropped against Rumble so he's clear to compete again.

Hunt - Werdum

[RichC]

I caught the Smith fight last night look at the state of her ear.

[Gibbo]

I would ****ing hate to have Mark Hunt swinging his arms at me.

[Gibbo]

Ah yeah while I'm on the subject, did anyone see the headbutt from that kid in the ultimate fighter finale when he was 2 rounds up?!

Very silly.

One of the few old school fighters left who don't have much skill, but are naturally tough as nails and have ridiculous power.

How many ultimate fighters do they run at the same time! Its hard to keep up with them- I'm watching the female one at the moment. How fit is Rose, Pat Barry's mrs
