For some reason I really like Vagner Rocha. I'm not even sure why. It's cool to see him back.

NOW BRING BACK RONYS TORRES. Goddamn it.

Rony Torres should of never been cut.

Also a fan of Rocha. We really only got to see his BJJ against Cody McKenzie, but I really like what I saw. I remember a smooth transition game.

Stockton, I was thinking the same thing.

Poor Ellenberger, full fight camp, probably already started cutting weight and now nada ... sucks balls for him.

He gets his show money, maybe even his win money and will have a quick turnaround fight probably within 15-60 days. He'll be extra game this time around too, keep positive...dude went through so much and he's made it to the UFC.

Short notice fights happen all the time at all levels of MMA. Fighters take fights on 24 hours notice and commissions don't stop them.  I would not see why a commission would not allow Cowboy to fight unless he has a suspension from Barboza fight.  He is past the mandatory 7 day no fight window that he would have so pretty sure he would be good to go.
