Jan Blachowicz vs. Magomed Ankalaev is the new main event for UFC 282 and will be for the UFC Light Heavyweight Championship. Jiri Prochazka is out due to a serious injury & vacated the title to keep the division going. Glover Teixeira turned down a title shot. More to come.

If you’re a WWE fan rooting for the demise of AEW, it’s time to accept that they’re going to be around for a long, long time. If you’re an AEW fan who has been nervous about their future, they’re going to be around for years-and-years to come. If you’re a wrestling fan, enjoy!

This is how much WWE being the only major player in town for nearly 20 years until the last couple of years has damaged the business. People who grew up watching terrible ideas be executed think they’re great ideas, because that’s all they’ve ever seen in wrestling.

@LantzGaming He was booked against Masvidal in December after the Diaz fight in June, Masvidal pulled out, UFC pulled Edwards and told him he was getting a title shot instead, Usman was out for extended time due to hand injury in second Colby fight. That’s why Edwards was out then.

So a guy comes in 25 pounds overweight, negotiates for a catchweight fight to where he only needs to lose 15 pounds, only gets fined 20%. Guys who busts his ass to make it but barely misses by .25 pounds also gets fined 20%. It’s gotta change.

Here’s some math for you. WWE gets $470 million a year for Raw & Smackdown, and they average a .57 rating for their five hours per week. If you take that Dynamite gets a .28 & Rampage gets a .10 & guess that Collision gets in the middle at a .19, that’s a .21 for five hours.
