Conors supposedly got the Australian variant of the flu according to a few British tabloids.

Emotional return of Matt Hughes to the UFC, he walked to Cageside unaided and sat with Dan Lambert and Dana. Paige VanZant broke her arm in the first round of her fight but went the three rounds.

That was a great moment for DC to get some redemption.
As for the main event, I thought I was watching Tank Abbott vs Don Frye from 1996. Don't they have treadmills in France? Ngannou looked like he only trained 5 minutes a day thinking he'd never go to another round.
And man, Miocic has some heat with Dana just taking the belt away from him. People on twitter were making Austin vs McMahon jokes.

Cool to see DC win, he deserves to go out on top when he retires. Definitely bad blood between Stipe and Dana. Wouldn't be surprised if he walks when his deal is up.

Nah, he's making way more than Bellator pays. They're great if you're mid-level or older. But a prime career fighter who gets PPV percentages couldn't make the same money.

Chuck Liddell will be on Celebrity Big Brother.
Eddie Bravo believes the earth is flat, but what he just said is even crazier than that. Khabib tortures people.
Fans of the enduring reality series Big Brother can rejoice this coming week when its first Celebrity Edition premieres February 7th.
The cast is about as C+ level as you would expect, but boasts names like UFC legend Chuck Liddell, American Pie actress Shannon Elizabeth, famed basketball player Ron Artest aka Metta World Peace, and Mark McGrath of the band Sugar Ray (who really does not enjoy being called ‘Sugar Gay’).
But perhaps the biggest name of the eleven contestant roster was that of Omarosa Manigault, President Trump’s former White House aide and three-time Apprentice contestant. While it was long rumored that a member of the Trump White House would join the cast (particularly Anthony “The Mooch” Scaramucci), Omarosa’s inclusion was seemingly last minute — explaining the odd number of contestants.
While the internet seemingly had endless fake lists that included the likes of Flavor of Love contestant Tiffany “New York” Pollard to MTV’s The Challenge‘s Johnny Bananas (neither of whom were contacted), the original list of ten contestants changed gradually as production inched closer to shooting.
Stars that had originally been in the casting mix and eventually were cut or had to drop out include forthcoming Celebrity Big Brother competition host and N-Sync member Lance Bass (who was forced to bow out due to a prior business engagement), American Ninja Warrior host Matt Iseman (whose NBC contract conflicted with participating on a rival network), Sharon Osbourne (due to scheduling conflicts) Academy Award nominee and previous Celebrity Big Brother UK champion Gary Busey (due to salary and health concerns), The Karate Kid‘s Ralph Macchio, YouTuber GloZell, and former Sirius XM shock jock Gregg “Opie” Hughes (who was cut).
Celebrity Big Brother premieres February 7th on CBS.

Re: MMA Thread (UFC/Bellator et al)
Can they find a big enough jabroni he can beat? Maybe have a contest to pull someone out of the crowd?
Priscila Cachoeira's nickname is Zombie Girl and apparently Mario Yamasaki took the name literally and wouldn't stop the beating. Dana said he never wants him to come back. Even PRIDE refs would say this was too much.

Holloway certainly can't talk like Conor, but that's the third time he's shut him up on social media.

I like Punk but hes not a MMA fighter. He's just exacerbated his risk of CTE getting into this world. He should just walk away and go to New Japan and wrestle for fun and him having 5 star matches and main eventing Wrestle Kingdom shows would be a bigger FU to Vince and co then getting beat up again on PPV.

Here's where you miss PRIDE. They'd make the match and treat Floyd/Big Show like it was a shoot and say he was 1-0 against the WWE.

Well, if Conor isn't coming back he won't be fighting again anyway, so he doesn't care about commissions seeing that.

Re: MMA Thread (UFC/Bellator et al)
I'll believe it when I see it.
15 years ago you got this from Tito Ortiz sitting out a year playing the "no really, I'm coming back" game to try to get leverage for more money. Even doing the "please respect my other work" stuff over Punishment Athletics.
