My friend Josh Appelt won the heavyweight title at Westcoast Fighting Championship last night:
Also my buddy from college, Brandon Mccaghren, was awarded a black belt in the 10th Planet BJJ system by Eddie Bravo.
In other news, I have a single, lonely stripe on my white belt
That's great for you and both your friends!
I haven't seen the video. Does he use really poor technique?
Cain training weights... No wonder he's had to have acl and shoulder surgeries

And now Werdum is out . . . colour me suspicious
Me too. I don't think he's ducking Miocic, but the majority of money Champs make is from PPV points and he won't make squat fighting Stipe. Much more rematching Cain.
Wth?
Just got home from work and find out. So who will headline the card now?

Looks like Hendricks vs Thompson...until Hendricks doesn't make weight and they cancel the card entirely
That is just ridiculous. Don't worry about good form or technique just grind out reps.
Could you imagine? Maybe Jones will step in and "save" the card
I'm on the fence about $$$ vs. "ducking". Yeah, it's not as much coin, but it's more than sitting at home playing Xbox. Got to be tough to be training and planning for a wrestling heavy opponent who uses Ground 'n' Pound and pressure, only to have that switched out to a striking heavy stand-up fight.

Jones said he would fight Stipe but only if belt was on the line.
^What?!?!?!
wow!
wow!
didn't see anything posted about this, but UFC 196 will now be a "free" card on FS1.

PPV cancelled. Remainder of card moved to FS1
In other news, I have a single, lonely stripe on my white belt
Don't think about it being a lonely stripe. Think of it was an accomplishment. My first stripe gave me an incredible feeling. Blue belt talking here.
Keep on going to class!
Good card, Rumble is a scary guy. Wow!
Pretty decent card, it possibly could've held up as a PPV.

Looks like Dana's hype train just lost even more steam when Sage tapped out. It looked like he could've worked his way out, but I think he panicked from being in an unfamiliar spot. He'll be back and will most likely get better now that the hype is off. First Ronda, then Paige, now Sage...only one left is McGregor.
Missed the card completely bit watched a couple hilights.
Glad Rumble is back on track and Sage got taken down a peg.

Overall I thought it was a good card.
During the fight it seemed to me that Sage tapped early but Rogan and the guys on the Post-fight show said that they have all seen guys tap from that position. It will be interesting to see what happens in his next fight. I thought Rogan or Goldberg said that he is moving to Tri-Star or just moved there.
Ben Rothwell... That looked like an incredibly painful neck crank.
I have to agree with you George, Rumble is a scary guy. It didn't look like he was hitting Bader all that hard, but those punches were devastating.

Sage tapped to a joint lock, correct? I know a few guys who "fight" as part of their Martial Arts training (tournaments only). They have ALL said that they would NEVER tap to chokes, but would do so to joint locks. A choke leaves you with a headache when you wake up, a joint lock can destroy ligaments, tendons, etc, if you do not tap quickly enough. Just look at the damage done by Palhares when he holds on too long. I can see a relatively new fighter like Sage tapping quickly to prevent an injury.
