Just spoke with "The King of Rio" Jose Aldo, who confirmed that Dominick Cruz was initially supposed to be his opponent at UFC 301.
Aldo had heard that Cruz had an issue during his camp that forced him to withdraw, which led to the booking against Jonathan Martinez.
#OnThisDay in 1990 - Paul Banke defeated Daniel Zaragoza by TKO in round 9 of 12 to win the WBC super bantamweight title. One of the most attritional fights of all time.
Tim Tszyu-Vergil Ortiz is being planned for Aug. 3 in L.A., sources tell ESPN. Ortiz must first defeat major underdog Thomas Dulorme on Saturday and emerge uninjured. Terrific action fight on tap, part of a stacked Crawford-Madrimov undercard presented by Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
The MMA world loves to hate MMA posters so I asked one of the best in the business to grade posters from UFC, PRIDE and other promotions.

I don’t expect you to understand @MikeChandlerMMA. We are not on the same level. I am here to be the champ. You are just waiting for a paycheck. I also don’t understand why you waited Conor fight for 2 years, you could’ve lost 4 exciting fights during that time
Some business news that kind of slipped under the radar....
