Who will DC face after rumble?
I wonder who will be next in line to face DC after the Rumble fight.
I'm rooting for Rumble but don't see him beating. DC
Cormier is out. No telling, at this point.

Man I dont know I just looked through the rankings..and I really dot see anyone they could put in for a Decent headliner...
at this Point, I see 2 options...
The UFC scraps the PPV and makes UFC 206 into a UFC Fight Night on free TV with Pettis Vs Hlloway headlining...
Or A really desperate option would be to Pull Velasquez Vs Werdum II from 207 and Make It the Headliner for UFC 206...
Now I dont think the UFC will do that, I think They want UFC 207 to be HUGE...but thats about their only option if they still want to go ahead with UFC 206 being a pay Per View...
Velasquez Vs Werdum II wouldn't be for a belt, but it is a big enough to headline a PPV and at least do a respectable buy rate...UFC 207 is As STACKED and could afford the loss.
The Move for Velasquez and Werdum isn't too bad either, UFC 206 is Dec. 10th and UFC 207 is Dec. 30, so They would be pushing the fight up 20 days, Not ideal but Not Absurd either
but again IMO that probably wont happen..
I dont see a replace for RUmble, forget a Main Event quality replacement, I dont even see a replacement for Rumble if he just wanted to stay on the card...
I think Rumble will be forced off the card and The card will end up becoming a UFC Fight Night Card.
Does anyone see any other possible Option? Can Anyone else think of another Possible Headliner that the UFC could make for UFC 206, because I certainly dont, not with ONLY 16 days before the event

Also I find it kinda funny this is 2nd time time in A row The UFC has tried to play hardball and it backfired imaginably...
At UFC 200, The UFC pulled Conor from the card to Show who the boss was and because they thought they had another Headliner waiting in Jones Vs DC II...annnnnnnnnnd That completely fell apart in the WORST way Imaginable when Jones failed a drug test the night before UFC 200
and Now It happens again with UFC 206...for some OLD reason the UFC is playing Hardball with GSP and refusing to let him come back or pay him what he's worth...GSP said all a long he wanted to come back a fight at UFC 206 and couldn't understand why The UFC wouldn't let it happen...Instead The UFC decided to go with An Incredibly weak card and with A Headliner in Rumble Vs DC II that NO ONE actually thought was going to be the main event and was ONLY the main event because the UFC refused renegotiate with GSP...(seriously DC didn't even want or think he should be the Main Event, He was Incredibly disappointed when he found he was the Main event for the card)
lol and now UFC 206 has fell apart.
Had the UFC just done what they should have done...
Conor would have Headlined UFC 200, Broke every record in MMA, Conor Vs Diaz II would have been The Main Event and would have been an all time classic.
and UFC 206 would have been headlined By GSP and would have probably had a PPV Buy rate of 1 Million +
instead UFC 200 is looked as a Disaster and NOw UFC 206 is probably going to be canceled...

I don't see 200 as a disaster.
I find it interesting how often fighters from AKA get injured and then are unablessed to fight. I'm not looking at the UFC on this, but more at AKA in terms of what they are doing and why their fighters are so oft injured.
I don't see 200 as a disaster.
I didn't either...
I enjoyed some of the fights, especially the Lesnar/Hunt Fight
but I was speaking on The Majority consensus when I said it was a disaster...
I listened to Dozens of podcast's, and everyone seemed to be extremely disappointed with UFC 200, from Jones/DC falling out the night before, Conor being pulled, and Lesnar failing 2 drugs tests after the UFC gave him an exemption and then The aftermath of Mark Hunt going on An Anti-UFC rampage after the fight, Oh and Jones failing a drug test...
Most of The MMA Community looks at UFC 200 as a disaster..
basically all the talk right before and then right UFC 200 was Disappointing and Negative...
Even the sale of The UFC was hurt by UFC 200...I remember ESPN doing A piece after news came out that Lesnar failed 2 drugs and They were talking about how "has any sale of a major sports franchise Soured so Quickly" and they mentioned how Awful The UFC looks with Jones and Lesnar failing Drugs and how they got Stars like Conor and Hunt extremely anger with The UFC...

The UFC is to blame for Conor not doing press and punishing him?
The UFC is to blame for Lesner being dumb and failing not 1, but 2 drug tests?
Look I'm in no way saying the UFC has clean hands, but pissing off Hunt (who I think is right) isn't exactly hurting he bottom line.
Also...oh they made lttle Conor soooo angry. Conor wasn't on UFC 200 to break records...you aren't seeing the forrest through the trees. UFC 200 was stacked even with Conor off and Jones out. It was going to sell. UFC 200 was solid...moving Conor to 202 an OK card with no "real headliner"...dang sonyou just turned a 350,000 card into 4 times that!
The UFC made Conor mas and in return hyped the fight more and made more money. 200 sold 1.2 wit out Conor...202 sold 1.6. Without Conor 202 would have sold I'd guess 350. The UFC made the right choice...and my guess is it wasn't unplanned.
DC is old and constantly getting hurt. The 205 division use to be stacked and fun, then Jones went crazy, DC gets constantly hurt, and no real up and coming guys. I guess they can do Bader vs Rumble for the interim.
I don't see DC beating Jones, and Jones will definitely return, so DC is really just a placeholder until it happens.
If you can read this then you are trying too hard.
Jobes'return? He can't return until July because of the USADA. My bet is the, with the way things are going, the NSAC will ban him until, at least, 2018. My guess is he will fight July 2018. Let's wait to see how the sport and the LHW division change to decide if Jones will return as champ.
shareI don't know if Jones will be back, I don't think DC can beat him though. Jones just continues to make it hard on himself, not sure Dana will trust him enough to give him an instant shot.
He's 29. He can compete next summer at the earliest. He'll be back.
