9 eastern on the Paramount Network. Heavyweight Grand Prix semi-final. Winner faces other finalist Ryan Bader for the title early next year.
Benson Henderson vs. Saad Awad
Cheick Kongo vs. Timothy Johnson
Alexander Shlemenko vs. Anatoly Tokov
Henry Corrales vs. Andy Main
I don’t care what anyone says that Bellator Card kicked ass mad props to the Bendo, American Gangster, the Last Emperor Fedor for putting on a killer co-Main/Main Events it was pretty cool.
It was neat seeing such a previously inconceivable matchup between Fedor and Sonnen.
UFC Fight Night on now, prelims on Fox Sports 2, Main Card at 10 eastern on Fox Sports 1.

I can’t wait for the main and co-main. Rooting for Johnson over Lobov in what should be a great fight. And I like Lionheart and Ouzdemir evenly so I’m just rooting for a sweet knockout.
Lionheart with the RNC win.
Old news but I missed it, Jon Jones is returning, he will have a rematch with Alexander Gustafsson (who due to injury has only fought twice in 3 years) on December 29th at UFC 232, the LHW title will be on the line (DC to vacate it). In the co-main Women’s 135 champ moves on up to 145 and takes on fellow Champ Cyborg.

Saw that- Would love to see gufstafson win as he came so close last time- was a great first fight- hope the second will be better-

I don’t know much about her, but it would seem the division is really scratching about for opponents for Chris- Why would a person move into a division above their fighting weight (optimal fighting weight) to fight the toughest woman on the planet? I think she’s going to be, once again, outmatched- Have they noone who is big and strong enough to take cyborg on?
For money, it will make more money than any other fight Amanda Nunes could get right now. And a chance at glory, slim though it may be.
i guess, i just think she will be dominated unless she gets chris in a submission or something- won’t make for a very interesting fight otherwise i think-
