The official injury that Cyrille Diabate suffered this past weekend at the UFC on FUEL 7 event was a strained left calf muscle and not a tear. Diabate was unable to continue his fight with Jimi Manuwa after the opening round and the fight was stopped.
This weekend’s UFC 157 card will feature twelve fights and kicks off at 6:35pm EST on Facebook with a 10pm EST pay-per-view start time.
There is a piece on Ronda Rousey in this week’s edition of TIME Magazine and was also featured on HBO Real Sports in a feature piece this weekend.
UFC president Dana White revealed over the weekend that had Josh Barnett signed with the UFC they were planning to match him against Junior dos Santos but when they couldn’t reach a deal they put together the Dos Santos vs. Alistair Overeem fight for May 25th.

The great debate of 2019 so far. Did Velasquez go down because of a punch or because of his knee?
To me, it looks as if Francis caught him with a very very short uppercut at the perfect time. He was trying for a takedown and the punch came at the same time he was going down. His head clearly snaps from a punch. And it maybe stunned his legs just long enough that when he landed his leg was way out to the side and just dropped and hurt the knee.
Either way it was faster than I expected and I dont think a rematch is deserved. Don't have someone else try to stall out the division. Let's get Francis vs cormier signed and get more heavyweights in the mix

It looked like he caught him with a small uppercut and thats what made his knee buckle. He was walking around fine afterwards. I just think Cain doesnt wanna admit that.
So ufc 236 from what I saw was pretty decent. Think I caught it from the 2nd fight on main card. That rountree fight was like a predator toying with his prey he looked phenomenal since moving to Thailand.
Adesanya vs gastelum was admittedly way better than I expected. I mean I didnt think it would be a bad fight but it was way better than I thought.
Holloway vs Poirier was fire aswell. Looked like max was out after the first round but he hung in there pretty well. I agree with both decision wins too. Poirier deserved the win when you consider the fight as a whole. And adesanya aswell. Holy crap he shut the doubters up! Alotk people were saying how over hyped he is because of his last win but no way he is a star in the making. Flashy, intelligent striker, knows when to hit and turn up the pressure and can evade shots like hes in the matrix.
All in all good fights.

Adenanya is good, real good. But I find it funny how people call him a "young, up and coming star" when he's damn near Khabib, McGregor even Jones' age - "veterans" lol. I thought he was like 25 or something until I looked it up.
That said, the dude has a bright future.

In all honesty,as much as I like Ferguson.... I think he should hang it up before it's too late. He is not in a good place mentally. I would hate to see a chris Benoit scenario go down.
Adesanya is like 29 or 30 I think but hes still newish to the ufc only like 7 fights in 14 months. If he stays the course and can beat whittaker then hes set.

I'm looking at this picture of UFC Ultimate Fighters and the fighter with the bright red hair looks like Tatanka.
