If he gets hurt they will have to have an interim title. Let's just hope Bendo is not chosen as the replacement.

Benson is definitely a great fighter and deserving of his ranking but his fights are zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. I'd prefer if Cerrone got the shot if Pettis pulls out...he also fights anyone and everyone and already beat 3 fools this year and it could be 4 by the time December rolls around. Maybe they should just go ahead and book Cerrone vs Benson at UFC 178 with the winner being the back up plan for Pettis.

That said, let's hope Pettis does not pull out. Pettis vs Gil is a great matchup.

benson is already booked for aug 23 against dos anjos. doubt he would take a fight a month later. if josh thomson wins on saturday thats a fight i could see for cerrone. he needs a win over a top 5 guy before he gets a title shot.

Gahhh didnt know about Bendo vs RDA. But Cerrone vs Thomson would be fireworks with the end result being someone getting KTFO.

Melendez is gonna get worked. I'm gonna say that Pettis uses his Taekwondo to keep the distance, mix it up and wear down Meledez. Melendez is the type that if he figures out his range, he will unload on you with a killer instinct. I think Pettis is too smart for that, just as he knew how much Henderson wanted revenge against him badly, but nope, that arm bar was there and he just took it.

finally the top tier challenge conor mcgregor needs to validate himself. i like his schtick but beating up unranked guys wasnt cutting it for me.

UFC did the right thing, got his feet wet before throwing him into the deep end. This is a great matchup and 178 shaping up nicely with this + Gus vs Jones 2 and the return of Cruz.

FYI to Chaz UFC on Fox Saturday night with Lawler vs Brown & Lil Nog vs Rumble. Prelims are on FOX (not FS1) before the main card.

i felt his last fight originally vs cole miller should have been vs a top5-7 rated guy at 145. the brandao fight was cute but we all knew how it would end. they've hyped him up a lot and i felt a 3rd fight in a row vs a unnranked guy was a bit much. he came to the ufc as a dual 145/155 champ from cage warriors. as for saturday lets not forget josh thomson vs bobby green.
