That sucks. I was really looking forward to that fight. Seems like Rory is always getting hurt, I think this is the fourth or fifth time he has pulled out of a fight now.
Shouldn't be a problem getting a good 170lb guy in there. Woodley, Marquardt, maybe Maia? Even if Fitch could take a bounce back fight v Ellenberger I would be interested in that.
Sucks that Rory had to pull out, must've been pretty serious as he really wanted this re-match with Condit. Props to Hendricks for stepping up and potentially putting his title shot in bigger danger, but if he beats Condit then there's no denying him the next title shot. As for Ellenberger's potential opponent, my guess is it will be Tyrone Woodley. He already stated he wanted on this card if one of the WW pulled out, we'll here's his chance.

That's what I posted when they announced the first two fights. It's gotta be all-HW. I like it.
Don't think so. Bader-Texeira and Cerrone-Noons have also been booked. That first fight at least is definitely a PPV fight, maybe both are, although Cerrone-Noons seems like a perfect anchor for the pre-lims.

Regardless, really like the Bader/Texeira fight. That is looking like a loaded card.
An all HW card would have been cool but this is still good.
Hopefully Bader can test Glover's takedown defense in this fight. We know what he can do standing but I don't think he has fought a strong wrestler yet.
I doubt Cerrone or Noons will try to take the fight to the ground. Shouldn't be a bad fight.
Wow. Aldo is refusing to fight Pettis but apparently Dana is going to force him too. But he apparently outright refuses to fight Pettis. **** cray cray.

That fight better happen. I don't really care about any other fight at 145 right now.

Dana said Aldo is refusing to fight Pettis - but he's still planning on that fight happening.

Wow is right. Looks like he's been talking to Anderson.
Dana will get it done.
Oh and Rashad just asked for Shogun on the post fight show.

Good point. This is something Anderson would do. Difference is that he's the best in the world and he can get away with it. Aldo has had four fights in the UFC and he has looked good but he hasn't been that impressive. He shouldn't be turning down fights or demanding more money to take a fight (if that's his angle here). But it's not my money so I don't care as long as the fight happens.
