Anyone know how much longer we can all watch UFC on BT Sport...? I'm guessing it's all going to stop after Xmas and that sucks.

So Eddie Alvarez and now Mighty Mouse DJ have moved from UFC to One FC. I'm very surprised by that, especially Might Mouse. Also Ben Askren is coming the other way in a swap deal with DJ. I would love to see Askren vs Khabib happen. Who wins that grapple?

Not only am I shocked to hear Alvarez and Johnson have both left the UFC, but I've never heard of One FC nor have I heard of the lad Askren but I'll check him out. You say you'd like to see Askren fight Khabib but right now, it's not even clear if Khabib is going to be fighting in the UFC any longer himself, especially as he's pushing this fight with Merryweather.

I'd be shocked if the Mayweather fight happens. It's a complete joke to even contemplate it. Khabib is so average on the feet, even the McGregor/Mayweather fight was crazy but at least McGregor is an elite striker. Obviously it's just about making money but I don't see nearly enough appeal in that fight. Khabib is nowhere near the character that Conor is.

One FC is an Asian MMA company. It seems to be growing especially with these latest signings. Ben Askren fought for Bellator before One FC, he's arguably the best wrestler in MMA. He's also undefeated so a fight with Khabib has to happen surely.

I guess all will be revealed in good time. Unfortunately, BT Sport loses UFC coverage after Xmas so I'll be robbed of all those wonderful matches after that (and no, I'm not going to go chasing Eleven Sports up).

There may be a slot on BT Sport for One FC to take over where UFC left off...?

If you know who Jon Fitch was then Askren is a better version of him. No stand up just all wrestling and he is very boring to watch. I’m shocked they let dj go for a boring wrestler. I heard they are closing the 125 division when they make cejudo v dillashaw

Look out for Bellator on 5 Spike and One FC on Showcase TV (Among other MMA/Combat Sports). Both channels are on freeview.

Yawn. Got what you wanted, Dana. Easy win for DC who doesnt have to break a sweat and bow you can get that quick buck with Brock/DC.

I’d love to know the numbers Cormier actually does. Cant imagine there too high when he’s not fighting Bones or Stipe. Really isnt an entertaining guy nor fighter, IMO. He is fanatstic at what he does though, in all fairness.

Brock/Cormier is a FOX wank-fest.
In fact, it's not far off being scripted for WWE.
Cormier is headed to WWE as a commentator so looks why not have those two face off.

DC is a skilled HW, Lewis only has a punchers chance. Went exactly how I thought it would. The match was only made because they didnt want an unknown women headlining a MSG card.

Jacare /weidman was a great fight. Impressed with adesanya as well. Needs another step up in class now.
