I wouldn't be mad if Dominick just decided to vacate his belt. A bunch of contenders defending/fighting for an Interim belt isn't fun.

Yeah, Barao needs to fight McDonald. If not, he should fight the winner of Pickett vs. Wineland.

So glad that fight week is here! I guess that they decided not to "publicize" the open workouts tomorrow (I think the hotel is worried about capacity), but I'm going to try to get there super early and see if I can get in.

Then the press conference is Thursday, weigh-ins and Q&A w/ Mighty Mouse on Friday, and fiiiiight day Saturday.

Also....I just realized that the Diaz bros are going to be IN Seattle the day weed is officially legal to possess and consume (Thursday). Hoping Nate will wait until Saturday night or Sunday!

Fuckkkk, Sunday will be fucking awesome because of this card.

Renan Barao vs. Michael McDonald Confirmed for 2013

Heck yes.

@arielhelwani: Dana just said GSP told him I want Nick Diaz. Dana said that's probably the fight we'll make.”

Ronda Rousey vs. Liz Carmouche Headlines UFC 157

[Stavie Steelo]

Sucks GSP is running from Silva now, oh well hope Diaz knocks him out.

[DrStrong]

Damn, Dana putting all of his eggs in one basket for Ronda and UFC 157. Would be HILARIOUS if Ronda loses, but of course, she is fighting a Japanese can, who lost to two other contenders in Strikeforce, being Coenen and Kaufman.

Ronda beat Kaufman easily, and never faced Coenen, but she should have.

Other than that, Cyborg is NOT the "only fight that makes sense", as Dana says. I don't remember her name, but the other Olympian chick.

Also, the whistling from the crowd will be the main reason women's MMA will not be successful.

[Stavie Steelo]

I'd rather see her fight Tate again but I guess give her an easy fight so she wins right away so they can justify just handing her the belt.

Dana is either fucking her, or is trying to. But I will laugh my ass of if she gets injured, or loses the fight in a devastating way. If she does lose, can they really justify building the division around Ronda?

They need to get the headliners over:

-Tate
-Kaufman
-Coenen
-Cyborg
-other Olympic chick (what's her name!?)
-Carano

Sara McMann?

Yea, that's her. She was supposed to fight Liz Carmouche (who Ronda is fighting), during the Mir/Cromier Strikeforce card, but since that folded, she is still sitting out with a brand new Strikeforce contract.

This kind of makes me wonder if Sara was even asked to fight Ronda, it would make since; two olympians and both undefeated...but I guess the easier fight is what Dana looks for.
