[member 51464]

No staph and both guys make weight. Come on, MMA gods.

“Listen, that was a great fight,” White said, speaking to the media ahead of Saturday’s UFC 248 event in Las Vegas. “A great fight. Absolutely, the head butt had a lot to do with the knockout too, not to take anything away from him, it was a great fight, but I think you have to do that fight again.

“First of all, he didn’t make weight. Joe still fought him, there was a headbutt, so a lot of controversy in that fight. But it was a great fight. Both guys came to fight, I’m sure you guys know how I feel about him not making weight, but we’ll do it again. They both deserve it.”

Sure. It's not like there's anything else going on at flyweight.

Sounds like we're getting an immediate rematch (which I like personally). The headbutt played a factor and when you don't make weight you always have a debt to settle with your opponent. I think the rematch goes the same way as this one but at least the division will (presumably) have a champion.

I'm fine with a rematch too, but that's probably only because I like Benavidez.. which isn't a very good reason. But whatever, it's flyweight so I won't pretend to care that much.

They are running back the Ankalaev - Cutebala fight at UFC 249.
