It will be interesting to see Cain vs Bigfoot 2, though I can't imagine the outcome being much different. JDS/Overeem is interesting, I'm looking forward to seeing how JDS comes back.

I'm thinking Junior is going to run right through Ubereem.

Yeah the way Cain looked against JDS, I can't imagine Bigfoot beating him but stranger things have happened I guess.

As for JDS, I see him knocking out Reem.

LOL, what a dumb broad and probably one of the most unattractive ring girls I have ever seen.

Rory MacDonald injured, Johnny Hendricks to take his place and fight Carlos Condit. In the words of Joe Rogam, that's gonna be one helluva fight ladies and gentlemen!

Former welterweight contender Jon Fitch was among the 16 UFC fighters who were released from the promotion on Tuesday.
UFC president Dana White also confirmed with MMAFighting.com that the following fighters were also let go: Wagner Prado, Mike Russow, Jacob Volkmann, Vladimir Matyushenko, Che Mills, Jay Hieron, Terry Etim, Paul Sass, Jorge Santiago, Mike Stumpf, Simeon Thoresen, C.J. Keith, Motonobu Tezuka, Josh Grispi and Ulysses Gomez.
Each fighter was coming off at least one loss in his most recent fight.

Don't understand the Fitch cut at all, the Volkmann cut surprises me as well. Some of the others I seen coming especially Etim and Grispi.

What was the point of releasing Fitch. He is one of the best welterweights in the world

Isn't welterweight the most stacked division in the UFC? Half the guys in the top 10 aren't ever going to make top 2 - which the same can be said for most divisions

Pretty much. The other really stacked division is lightweight, that's why you see a lot of fighters dropping to 145 like Edgar and Guida among others.
