I think it's after a lot of people have complained about the entertainment value of his fights.

I imagine he will go to Bellator or somewhere similar, win a few fights and will be back by next year.

[Alex]

Aye, hell be back. Suppose your right about his fights being boring. UFC is an entertainment show.

[Alex]

Anyone hear the rumours of ESPN possibly going to sky sports? Be amazing if it did. Imagine....weigh ins on SSN, fight highlights, more archive footage. Loads of stuff.

[Alex]

Also, Rhonda Rousey tonight!

What's the fuss about Rousey?

Not overly keen on seeing woman smack each other in the face to be honest.

[Alex]

Whys that? They are fighters. Have you seen her go? She is so impressive. I never get the hatred/dislike of women's combat sports.

To be honest it's woman's sports in general that I have little to no interest in. Vastly inferior to their male counterparts.

Who is she fighting? Is it some tomato can that she's going to steam roller in under a minute?

Would much rather watch Henderson vs Michda fight.

Vastly inferior is doing a disservice. Obviously it won't be on a level with mens. Buts it's close. Is just the power they lack. Technique is just as good. Rousey has broken 3 arms with her arm bar.

She's fighting Liz Carmouche. Not seen much of her, but just the fact that its on the card is a good progression for Female MMA. It's just as legit as the mens IMO. Just not got the amount of stars in it.

I'd rather the Henderson fight was 5 rounds than 3, but what you gonna do. It's a good looking card tonight.

Cris Santos is another amazing womans fighter, be good to see her and Rousey go at it, which is being touted about.

[Alex]

Cyborg? She's an animal, but I'm sure she got done for roids recently.

Seems she's moved to a different promotion but you get the feeling they'll fight before too long - weight might be an issue though

[Alex]

Interesting reading, didnt realise Ortiz was her manager. They are both young, so I guess the fight will happen in a couple of years.

Didnt realise that Zuffa had her on contract though. Can kinda see the logic in going to someone else. But its weird, you would have thought the UFC could have done a better job of promoting her than some promotion with only 4 events to date.

[RichC]

Very strange isn't it, there was a time though that she was struggling to find fights as nobody wanted to fight her.

I guess she's moved across for $$$$$$$$$$

Been thinking this for a while, Sky have often tweeted about it. My worry is that they will start putting the events on Sky Box office, similar to wrestling.

Haven't decided if I'm gonna watch it yet, really doesn't interest me at all.
Rousey is very pretty though.

She refused to drop her weight as low as Dana has his "women's" division, so she wasn't offered a contract.
