Anyone watch the first episode of Dana White's Tuesday Night Contender Series on Fight Pass? Apparently there were some great fights.

I don't care about the rematch, Poirier won the fight.
This was the fight I wanted, and anytime they aren't tying up belts on TUF it's a good thing.

Khabib sighting...

Kind of funny. But also like usual, his punches are largely ineffective. Even a much smaller, untrained in mma, random person took his shot and didn't stay down...

Yep. His technique and ability to get a guy down and keep them there is impressive and he racks up the points for that, but he's not exactly heavy handed.

Jeff Novitzky says Lesnar hasn't re-entered the USADA testing pool and he still has more than six months left on his suspension. It seems like the whole thing is BS because the original report also said he was targeting a return for the November MSG card, which wouldn't be possible.

They'll lie for their own interests but Novitzky went on record to deny it so I tend to believe him here. Lesnar would also show up on the USADA website if he was indeed back in the program and getting tested.

One rumour was that Lesnar was doing this for leverage in his contract negotiations with WWE? But if he's planning to stay in WWE entering a strict drug screening program probably isn't the best thing

Confirmed fights for the Edmonton card.....
Demetrious Johnson vs. Ray Borg
Amanda Nunes vs. Valentina Shevchenko
Junior dos Santos vs. Francis Ngannou
Gilbert Melendez vs. Jeremy Stephens
Henry Cejudo vs. Wilson Reis
I told myself I wouldn't get tickets until closer to fight night after what happened with the Calgary card a few years back but now I think they're going to make me do it as soon as tickets go on sale.

Damn didn't know Dos Santos is fighting Ngannou. Although if Lesnar comes back, I would've loved to see him fight Ngannou.
Seems like an event where secondary market tickets will be cheaper than face value.
Cain for the interim title now that Miocic is holding out.
Just saw this - good for Stipe. I recall Ariel pressing him a little about this at the press conference after his last fight.

You're probably right. They should get cheaper as the event gets closer but it's also their first time in Edmonton so I don't want to miss out.

Unless I can get tickets for dirt cheap, I'll pass on the Edmonton event. JDS vs Ngannou is a great fight, Stephens vs Melendez should be fun, Nunes vs Shevchenko is meh, and I have no interest in watching flyweights under any circumstances whatsoever and there are 4 on the main card.

I swear DJ has been on a few UFC cards now in Canada and 1) they all do so poorly 2) people end up leaving before the main event and 3) all the cards have generally sucked
Stop putting DJ on PPVs. Of a year of terrible PPV buy rates DJ may set an even lower buy rate.
Vancouver - 115,000 buys (many left after MacDonald)
Montreal - 125,000 (just an overall horrible card, co was Page/Fabio)
UFC in Toronto next year deserves something big. McGregor at Rogers...

He'd have to be facing GSP for that to happen. Cowboys Stadium, Aviva Stadium in Dublin and even Wembley would come before Rogers for the McGregor show.
