TUF 24 in the Fall will be Henry Cejudo vs Joseph Benavidez. Winner (of TUF) fights Mighty Mouse.
eh, I understand why they are doing it, they have to keep the flyweight division going for Mighty Mouse, so they need to use the show to find more talent for that division. [Reply]
Mighty Mouse signed a new 8-fight deal with the UFC. (the champions clause only binds the fighter for 3 more fights, and he was in the process of fighting out his contract)
Not sure about the money, but I assume its worth at least a few million for all 8 fights [Reply]
Jacare is going to be examined by doctors tomorrow. If he is medically cleared, then he will probably be the replacement for UFC 199. If he is not cleared to fight, it'll probably be Bisping. [Reply]

I hope it's Jacare, if it's Bisping I wouldn't really feel like he earned it. He beat Silva after getting ktfo early but no one else even in the top 5 IIRC [Reply]
Weidman has a very badly herniated disc in his neck, and needs surgery to fuse it. He was going to just take painkillers and fight through it, but his coaches basically told him "no, don't be an idiot" [Reply]
The smart thing to do since Jacare just fought and said he had a banged up knee, would probably be to let Bisping have it as his reward for being a loyal company man, and then after he loses, set up Jacare vs Rockhold with a full camp.
If Bisping somehow wins, then obviously the UFC gets an opportunity to bring in more European fans, but thats unlikely. [Reply]
