Personally, I'm not interested in Masvidal-Diaz rematch or a McGregor-Diaz trilogy. Not that I don't like Diaz but I'd rather see more Masvidal & McGregor fight someone new. That's more exciting to me.

Even i do not want to see the rematch between Masvidal and Nate Diaz but McGregor and Nate Diaz trilogy would be a great fight as the second fight was really close and somehow McGregor was able to edge that and in the first fight McGregor was stopped and so it would be great to see their trilogy.

In the same interview, Dana also said he might make new announcement/update on Fight Island.

Where is this fight island situation, i have not heard about any media revealing the location.

To be honest, I want to see Mike Tyson competing in the ring for the last time (maybe). I have watched Mike Tyson's video, he looks strong and tough despite the influence on the age factor, the charity fight is not just entertainment but will greatly help the crisis when lockdown up and I fully support if this match will be held.

Even i was impressed by the training video but going for a real fight at 53 is really not a bright idea. Mike Tyson needs to be smart and pick his opponent like Floyd Mayweather who fought a very tiny fighter for millions in Asia and he should do the same rather than fighting someone who is dangerous. I am a fan of Mike Tyson but no idea why he want to fight for real at a really old age.

It's not as appealing as it was before. Nate loss his last fight while Conor won. I believe Conor is gunning for a title shot and I feel like Nate is not the right fight to make for him to move closer. At least Nate has to register a convincing win to make himself relevant and back in the mix again.

Location to be announced. Maybe next week or at a later date.

I want to see Usman and Masvidal next and i do not see the BMF coming back again unless McGregor wants that title.

I thought Usman vs Masvidal was a done deal but listening to Dana, it looks like negotiation among the three parties have fallen apart and it's most likely due to disagreement in revenue shares. I think that's the reason he threw other names to fight for the title.

It doesn't look like Woodley has much of a size advantage.  I thought he was taller and bigger but he isn't.  Dropping some action on Burns ML at 2.45 (FJ odds).  I think I'm gonna go with Sakai and Chookgian too. 

You guys should also know that the cage for this event is 20ish percent smaller.  So bet accordingly.

A disappointing comeback for Woodley. It could be ring rust from the long lay off. He is already out of title contention and may need two or three impressive bouts before he can be back. Maybe it's time for the former champ to retire, he's already 38-years old anyway. I don't see him winning against upcoming fighters at welterweight unless he does a Daniel Cormier.

A disappointing comeback for Woodley.

Indeed but we saw how Gilbert cleanly burned him so there's really nothing we can complain about . That cut on his right eye (that's huge ouch) punished him all throughout the fight. That's why you may noticed that he ended up hugging every time they're having a clinch especially on the late rounds.

Burns completely dominated him. He is now having a 6 win streak . What's next? Maybe a title shot with Kamaru. Let's see.

^  Yup.  I was expecting Woodley to take advantage of the smaller cage but no.  He was passive as usual and wasn't able to fully use his explosiveness vs Burns.  And Burns exploited it.  Good match.  

Can't wait for the next one.

Congratulations on those who bet on Burns (with a hefty odds too - 2.60 average on different sportsbooks). After the fight, he went ahead and told the reporters that he's ready for the title. Looking forward to his next match.

As for betting, I stayed away from the main card and just stuck with the preliminary ones where I see some value. And boy, Chris Gutierrez delivered and won me some cash over the weekend.

Gilbert Burns was better then Woodley in all rounds, and this is one deserved win for him.
Just look at Woodley face  
Same thing I can say for Katlyn Chookagian in fight against A.Shevchenko

Gilbert Burns and Katlyn Chookagian proved a point. I did not expect Gilbert Burns to outbox Tyron Woodley as i thought Woodley was always explosive but Burns shut him down every round and Burns called out for a title fight or a fight against Colby Covington and the number of title contenders in the division is growing and for Woodley to get another title shot is really small.

Here is the complete results

Looks like Jon Jones is going to will vacate his UFC light heavyweight title after
going up and down with UFC President Dana White publicly several times!
Would be interesting to hear reaction from all other fighters if this is confirmed.

It was a very exciting match, Obviously, Gilbert Burns deserves this win, it was the 2nd non-stoppage victory of his career. I've seen the full match, I could not blink for a moment, he played very well. Gabriel green lost to Daniel Rodriguez by a unanimous decision. I really hope he will give us greater matches in the future.

Now i really think he is really having some mental breakdown, till now i never thought about this situation even though he was messing up and getting into trouble with the law all the time now after the pandemic we are seeing the break down of one of the greatest fighters and showing signs of some sort of depression. If he keeps on going around like this and getting into fight with the boss then he might not last that long because he already has a soar relationship with Dana for years.

I did not expect this result, i thought Tyron Woodley could win the fight and he was the favorite and i have not seen Gilbert Burns fight earlier either. I thought Woodley would get an immediate rematch after loosing his title and that never happened and now he lost another fighter to an upcoming talent and it will be difficult to be back into title contention.

Agreed! I also appears that Jon Jones might also be in hurting need for money. He was demanding to receive $15m from the company as mentioned by Dana on the press conference. I speculate that he wants to retire after a big fight hehehe.

I expected the same thing (like expecting Ferguson will defeat Justin) but unluckily it didn't happen. Now his chances to reclaim his belt once again becomes slighter. Burns made his possible early retirement lol while he is slowly climbing up on the ladder. I'll look forward to his future matches coz I see a lot of potential from him .

Hahaha, maybe because he think that would be a big step for his career so he must get big money for doing that. So that when thing don't work well, at least he still have tons of money . Greater risks means greater rewards.

It looks like he wanted big money as he lost most of his purse in the past 4 years and the damage he did to himself and because of that he lost many lucrative advertisement deals worth millions and he still keeps messing up and after watching his past two fights i do not think that the invisibility will last longer and hence he might want to make the maximum money while he can and get out because once Jon Jones looses a fight then he will never be the same fighter.

I'm particulary interested in what Garbrandt has to offer here. So much promise for this guy before but he's been on a three fight losing streak since winning the title against Dominick Cruz (a guy whom nobody could beat at the time).

[TopTort777]

Hope Jon Jones signs the papers and advances to next division. Wish him to be KO cold Dont like this guy and his dirty way of fighting. Such things wont help in heavyweight and his head flies away from single punch.
