Yesterday, Rory MacDonald had to pull out of his fight with Carlos Condit, one that he asked for on national television, because of neck and back injuries. The UFC then pulled Johny Hendricks out of his fight with Jake Ellenberger to face Condit in a super duper number one contender fight. And Nate Marquardt will now face Ellenberger.
The top three fights now on that card are as follows:
Nate Diaz vs. Georges St. Pierre
Carlos Condit vs. Johny Hendricks
Nate Marquardt vs. Jake Ellenberger
The fight between Floyd Mayweather and Robert “The Ghost” Guerrero is no longer just a discussion. According to Ryan Maquinana, it is now a reality.
Not to be lost in the news of a Mayweather fight is the fact that he’s leaving HBO for Showtime/CBS. According to Dan Rafael on Twitter, it’s for 6 fights over 30 months. Now, I don’t expect Mayweather to fight 6 times in 30 months. He probably fights twice in that span. My guess is that the deal is for up to 6 fights in 30 months. I will update when there is more.

There have been rumors that he might be too banged up to wrestle this year and could be taking a year off. Hopefully, this shows that he’ll be on the show this year. Because, what’s Mania without the dead man?
Might Floyd be throwing us a curveball?
Here’s what he tweeted just a few minutes ago:
