Swanson is scheduled to fight ortega on dec 9th the following week.Seems like the only logical next move would be to offer him the fight.

If Swanson gets the fight. I'd then get Yair into replace him vs Ortega #6 vs #7

 

[Gibberish]

This really blows.

I'd love to see the Aldo rematch but they'll want to keep him on the Brazil card i'd imagine.

Facial injury requiring surgery from training... Damn son.

What's up with Yair these days? How is his face?

Not sure to much on details but I read this morning that he wanted in on the DEC 30th card. just wondering if he'd go for a main event on the 9th in Fresno.

thanks baby.

That's the fight i would make then. No one else is leaping out at me.

Holloway should have fought for the title ages ago, now his title defences are mostly rematches.

Would rather see Holloway vs Ortega than Holloway vs Swanson 2. Wouldnt mind Dillashaw throwing him name out there.

I'm pumped to see him live. I'm hoping the card holds together, after the last winnipeg went to shit I think we're due for some good luck.

Somehow Gaethje/Alvarez will work it's way up to at least co-main as it should.

TJ taking the fight and winning would be an increadible FU to Mighty Mouse. he could essentially own the entire UFC under 145.

Damn, I'm always down for an Edgar fight, this news sucks. At least there are some good challengers on tap.

I know Cub is on a decision streak and it lines up time wise but... Max beat the hell out of Cub not that long ago. It just doesn't really do anything for me.
