People who pay more attention than me, help me name a fighter? -  Think he's lightweight or welterweight, white American & a submission specialist favouring nasty looking leg locks & heel hooks. Apparently has trouble getting fights as people don't want to match up with him & he won his last fight quickly earlier this year. A quiet & unassuming type. Hairy chest.

Ring any bells?

Yeah you’ve timed that question well Mike. Hall vs Elkins is the pick of the bunch on tomorrow night’s card for me. 

TBH I knew tomorrow's event was on but hadn't really looked past the main card. My interest has definitely piqued now,

Don’t want to get too excited until it’s confirmed as concrete somewhere reliable but there’s a bit of talk on Twitter that Korean Zombie vs Brian Ortega is in the works for the Mexico card in September.

Donald Cerrone vs Justin Gaethje is the main event for the Vancouver show on September 14th. According to Kevin Iole. It’s confirmed on all the main news sites. 

Fucking yes! Only shit thing for me is I’m going to Vancouver in October. I could’ve witnessed it live if it’d been a month earlier.

Think I just had the MMA equivalent of Mandela Syndrome - for some reason, I had it in my head that Gaethje and Cerrone had already fought, and that Cerrone had won. Odd.

I can't believe I'm doing this, but that's fight of the year isn't it? 

That's happening on my stag weekend, I think my Polish language skills will struggle too much to find a bar that's showing it, but I can watch it hungover in the airport the next morning all being well!

Helwani tweeted something about Yair Rodriguez pushing to get that Zabit fight made for the Mexico show in September. I hope that happens. 

That’s the card that the rumoured Korean Zombie vs Brian Ortega fight was supposed to be on as well. Imagine a card with both Yair vs Zabit and Zombie vs Ortega? Just inject that shit into my veins.

According to Brett Okamoto, Chris Weidman’s debut at 205 is against Dominick Reyes on the Boston show in October. Tough introduction to the division for Weidman that. 

Just seen as well that the UFC are looking at doing Ben Askren vs Demian Maia but it was BJPenn.com reporting that so fuck knows how legit it is.
