Rumble at HW is very interesting. I genuinely feel like he has the potential to beat all of them - besides Stipe and Cain. There are quite a few 'chinny' heavyweights on the roster. Rumble gna shatter that ****.

When DC pulled out of UFC 206, I was so bummed out considering I was going live. But then I saw that JDS was down to step in and fight Rumble at HW, and I **** my pants. That's a fight I would pay errything to see.

Interesting if a bit of a shame since it leaves 205 as dead as ever.

Great to see Rumble back in MMA again, and especially at Heavyweight.  I think he might clean house at 265 and take the belt from Stipe more than he could at 205.
