UFC 194 Dec. 12th Aldo-McGregor

[Luke]

Jacare by sub seems to be unanimous. At -170, I'm probably going to put a little money down on him.

What are the odds for Weidman vs. Rockhold?

[Luke]

Like you say, it's a great card if it stays together. It really is just AMAZING how many fights have fallen apart over the last few years because of injuries. I remember, when I was writing betting articles for this MMA magazine a while back, the frequency with which I would submit my article and then by the time it hit newsstands 1 or more of the fights I capped had been called off. It actually was so bad that they just didn't want to do the articles anymore.

I don't know what the deal is. Not sure if MMA fighters need start training differently or what.

Fighters started dropping out of fights at an alarming rate when the UFC started covering them with insurance. Before if they were injured, they just didn't get paid. Now, if they get injured they get paid a certain amount of money, so they're arent as likely to fight when injured....even if its a small injury

[Éire]

Will be putting some cash down on all 3 fights for sure.

Honestly the thing that brought this on was the UFC agreeing to provide health insurance for the fighters, and cover injuries that happened during camp on the policy. This happened around 2010-2011ish, and before that you had guys getting hurt just as frequently, the difference was they fought anyway so that they could say it happened in the cage, and get their medical bills paid.

Same here

[Luke]

The UFC really needs to start following the pattern of this card and putting the biggest stars as the main event. Mighty Mouse should never be a PPV main event

[Luke]

A lightweight bout between John Makdessi (13-4 MMA, 6-4 UFC) and Yancy Medeiros (11-3 MMA, 2-3 UFC) is the latest addition to December’s UFC 194 lineup.

How is Makdessi coming back so soon from a broken jaw?

Its not really that soon. His last fight was in May, this fight isn't till December. That's 7 months.

Jaws heal in about 6-8 weeks.
