I feel like Francis wants ANYBODY. Volkov was just the highest ranked guy that was an option for one reason or another. I think after getting called out and the news making finish, Francis is going to end up fighting Rozenstruik.

It's a little bit further down the road I guess, but I'm also curious how Rumble is going to fit in. Apparently he is targeting June/July to come back.

I hope they throw Rumble in there against the top tier right away. I think the Latifi/Lewis winner would be appropriate and the timing should work out.

Rumble vs. anybody in the top 7 or 8 would be interesting. I just hope at some point we get to see Jones-Rumble. We never got it at LHW, but maybe at HW. Rumble-Francis would obviously also be a dream match up at some point. I don't know how long Rumble is planning to stick around this time, though, especially if he loses a fight.

Lost interest in MMA a year or two ago... But rumble is back? I thought he retired? Hows he look?

Hell baby
I would just like rumble to stop being arrested for domestic violence. Sounds like the latest incident wasn’t too bad as he just picked up the girl and carried her to a different room but there were two other incidents in his past and generally speaking that’s way too much smoke for there not to be a fire

Wonder what he weighed for the grappling event over this last weekend, he looked smaller than this pic to me but it was hard to tell.

He's getting ready to re-enter USADA so he probably is smaller now. He hasn't been shy about what he was doing while trying to become a bodybuilder.

Doing some research and it seems like Rumble is around 240, so pretty solid for a HW. I think he was around 280 a few months back.

He looks like we would be more than 280 in that picture, but yeah, it makes sense he would lose some weight to get into fighting shape.
