Man, Cejudo is NOT happy this event lost it's co-main. He wants Gaethje/Benny as the co-main. My man is clearly thinking about his PPV points. I can tell you right now Gaethje isn't turning around that quick.

I hope Belal/Burns get's booked. If Burns is willing to turn around that quickly Belal should step up. Ramadan is over today. My man has 3 weeks to re-hydrate and with all the fasting he's done for the past 4 weeks he shouldn't need to cut much if any weight. 

The way Belal talks, he should be ready to take a fight on 7 days notice. He's been calling out anybody and everybody and making it sound like everyone's ducking him. Time to put up or shut up.

I think both Sterling and Cejudo be cool guys to chill with, both guys just want to sell PPV and then they can be a bit annoying when they do that, I'm personally don't care for press confrence for this reason, More a fan of embedded where the fighter seem more genuine and not trying to sell PPV

I don't really hate when fighter try and sell tickets, More indifferent, I just want see the fights, If the fights are fun than I watch

I despise Henry Cejudo because because he has forsaken his heritage to become a right-winger.
