While I don't like how all of these headlines start with "DANA WHITE..." I hope Whittaker heals up well.

That's pretty awesome.

saw this the night before I came home. totally down for this fight. Cormier was killing it at HW before he even dropped down. and he only dropped because of Cain.

Pretty long read but some nice stuff there. Also interesting mmafighting.com basically ignoring this story as far as anything written goes.

Whoa, I can't recall Saki ever having looked this lean.

Its an illusion cause he's standing next to Latifi. That guy's too wide to enter most regulation sized doors. Can't believe they're in the same weightclass.

LMAO I was thinking of making a 'compared to Latifi's head' joke, but tried to be a better person.

For the Americans really but UFC ppvs on Amazon now. There was some talk of them buying fight pass from the UFC or something along those lines. Interesting to see if it was really just this or maybe they get some undercards or whatever exclusively soon too. Fight pass behind Amazon prime would be pretty interesting and might even get as a more regular customer than UFC does alone with fight pass.
