Holy moly... DC Vs Derrick Lewis confirmed for the main event of UFC 230(!). MUCH BETTER than Valentina and Eubanks. Eubanks still wants the title shot. Pretty sure the whole point of her getting it was Joanna wasnt ready for November. Now that the main event is changed, theres no point in Eubanks getting a shot. Anyways, Derrick Lewis wants retribution for Cormier disrespecting Popeyes Chicken lol |

...and now Dustin Poirier is out of 230 with a injury - no news on who (or if) Nate will be fighting...

I don't think Nate deserves a top 5 guy. He's living off that Conor win, but he's still just Nate Diaz. 19-11. Poirier vs Lee and Nate vs Gaethje made more sense to me. I truly feel this fight was only made with hopes Conor beat Khabib to set up a rematch vs whoever won this. |

I think Lewis has a shot, but I think DC is just so much better it's gonna take a hail marry one punch finish like he just had against Volkov. |

The list of legends he beat, the fact that his only loss was a questionable dq...And I don't think he wins this fight. He barely won the first time. Also man...tough for DC. Lose the LHW title without losing, then maybe lose th HW title and the Brock money fight. Man. |

Watching TUF 27 with DC and Miocic as coaches. First fight ended in a 17 second Guillotine with the guy passing out. Amazing

Well, ONE now gets Demetrious Johnson, in exchange for UFC getting Ben Askren. Ill be honest, i have never seen a Ben Askren fight. I only know him from the time he did Joe Rogans podcast. I will educate myself on him before his first fight.

I will educate myself on him before his first fight. It seems bizarre of the UFC to let a guy like DJ go - especially as they could have had a rubber-match with Cejudo and a big fight with Dillashaw. I've never seen Askren fight - but from most accounts, he has a fairly boring/wrestling style... and Bellator didn't even want to re-sign him when they had the chance. But we're getting him instead of one of the best P4P and most well-known fighters on the planet. It's just... strange. |

And Askren is VERY BORING, but he is being brought in as a hitman to take out khabib. Mark my words. 1 fight and them a title shot. |

Im thinking they want to protect Darren Till, cause Till would have been my first thought |

Great fights so far. Arce vs Moraes was bloody. I find it funny Eubanks was supposed to fight Valentina for the vacant Womens Flyweight title, and she missed weight for this fight.

Need to force her up like Gastellum and Hendricks. I think she knows she would get destroyed at 135 though, whereas 125 isn't really developed and you have fighters like Modefferi ranked. |
