    Rory is bummed. DFW said to him point blank he had the next title shot and suggested it would happen in Canada.

    Sounds like Lawler wants time off. He fought four times in 2014. Rory could fight Hendro or Hecto in the meantime.

    If they threw Askren at Lawler instead that'd be a mini-bike redemption moment.

    Its going to be Hendro/Lawler III. The two fights were way too close and Lawler has come out and said that he wants a third match to settle the trilogy.

    Hecto/Rory in the mean time.

    Goddamn these boxing relic rubber matches. I understand if there is money to be made but these are not breadwinners for the UFC. How are rounds 11-15 going to be any different than the previous ones? JDS/Velasquez 3 was a carbon copy of the second fight.

    Hecto/RedKing is a helluva fight, tho, if they make it happen

    Watch Burkman beat Hecto, lol. Burko.

    Then the UFC would be in the awkward position of hyping up Burko as having beaten Lombard and .... Fitch.
