Josh Barnett popped for I think the 4th time in his career
Seriously. They should be shut down for malpractice or something.
White announced today that next show is Goldberg's last.
I've never got the Goldberg hate. I've always liked him.
Certainly easier to listen to than Anik.
Anik is not that bad. I used to dislike him when he was trying to join the bald dick head club (with Dana and Joe Rogan), but know that he is working on his own persona, i can enjoy his performances a bit more.
Werdum apparently turned down fights with JDS and Overeem. Sounds like he's not very highly regarded with White after that.
Also, the bit about Aldo wanting to move up to 155 to fight Khabib was interesting.
That's a shame, didn't know he was going to retire.
Him and Rogan were the perfect duo. I fear Joe will stop soon aswell.
Anyone see Hendricks media scrum? Very strange.
Yeah he seemed drunk.
Sad Goldberg is going. Loved hearing Rogan constantly correct his mistakes.
Rousey made weight and stormed out within three or four seconds. 
He's not. Dana is pushing him out. He's not a fan.
By all accounts, Rogan has grown tired of commentating so yeah, I imagine he'll be done soon too. I think he renewed last summer after the takeover, so it could be ALL OVER!! by the end of summer...
Joke that Dana gave Rousey a pass for media obligations....Nunes better sub or ko Rouseybecause I can see Dana and the UFC salivating at her getting the belt back....Nunes can't let it go to a decision.

I like Rousey, but the way they are building this PPV its more Rousey returning rather than Rousey returning to go after the belt and champ, who is....
I get she is pretty much the reason that women are allowed in UFC but come on now, at least give props to the champ in the build up.

Rogan stated that he was considering quitting in the summer, he only wanted to do PPV's and only the ones in North America, they signed him up for another 3 years around September iirc, so he'll be about for a while.
Borg and Hendricks still haven't weighted in... 30 minutes left.
173.5 for Hendricks... cueck.
129.5 for Borg...
Unprofessional fat bastards.

Hendricks poorly managed again. Joke.
Surely last chance for Hendricks @ 170
He will be a small middleweight but he could still do well.

It's his own fault by many accounts
Dunno what is up with the man. He doesn't look to be in a good place mentally at the moment, for me.
Just watched the interview above
Very concerning indeed

Cruz is destroying Garbrandt in the build up to this fight. Such an underrated and undervalued personality/character, he's been brilliant at selling his fights since he got healthy again. Been great to have him back healthy, takes the division to the next level.
I think he'll be a huge loss. Now for Rogan...
Strange.
He's top class.
Even better. Almost McGregor like.
He needs to fight TJ again though. He certainly didn't won that fight (a draw at best).
If he starts calling the shots a la Conor would be quite shitty, specially if he starts picking easy fights. (A semi retired Faber and a easy pick on Garbrandt (according to many))
The only positive of TJ not getting a title shot if he defeats Lineker, would be him dropping a division to fight MM for the FlyW belt. Would be quite interesting.
they are trying to leapfrog el Cucuy again
fecking Dana cheap bastard, pay the man!!!
Luckily Khabib himself has come out rejecting that fight and asking for the only fight that makes sense.

There will be an interesting story behind the Goldberg thing
Dana and him were quite close I thought and he fought quite hard to keep him a few years ago when Goldie was looking to move on
Could well be the new owners who have made the call
Rogan will almost definitely follow.
I think Anick is fine and it should be him but apparently some guy called Jim Rome is been tipped to get the gig

Ugh. Rome is a legendary wummish sport radio show host. Not sure how it would work with Rogan. If true, I'm willing to bet Ari Emanuel is behind it.
I remember a few months back, Dana was doing a backstage interview with Megan after an event and looked visibly annoyed after he had spotted Goldberg running around shouting with his shirt off during the interview.
The same thing happens here at 4:20. You can even hear Goldie shouting that he's naked in the background.
Add to that the rumors about drug/substance abuse problem a couple of years back, maybe Dana is trying to avert bigger issues down the line.
Goldie
He'll be missed.
He'll be missed.
Gonna assume Honda will run off before Rogan can ask her anything. Man, I think she'll win tomorrow but if she doesn't... She'll look such an idiot.
So good to see Kim fighting on the main card, love this guy. Another win here puts him back up in the mix again.
This main card is absolutely fantastic.
