Probably not,” White said on UFC Tonight, “But he wanted to try it. I like the guy. I respect the guy. He wanted to fight in the UFC. He wanted to do it. He trained for two years, and he did it.” If Punkʼs UFC career is over, itʼs likely that the Chicago-born talent will soon be picked up by another MMA promotion – possibly Bellator. Coach Roufus, who also trains former UFC lightweight champion Anthony Pettis, claimed that plenty of other promotions are interested in signing Punk and is optimistic of his future Jose Aldo and Dana White to meet this week – Aldo quote UFC president Dana White recently promised to get Aldo the right fight, and listed Max Holloway and Anthony Pettis as potential opponents. Aldo, though, makes it clear that he has no interest in fighting ‘Blessedʼ. “What means is money in the pocket, and thatʼs what Iʼm thinking about,” Aldo said. “Thatʼs why I said ‘f*ck Holloway,ʼ who won eight in a row. Some people win 10, 15, and donʼt fight for the belt. So, who is he to say anything? So I wanted Pettis because that would be a way bigger fight. Everybody wanted to watch this fight when we were supposed to fight in Brazil. You have to think about money first, itʼs business these days. First the pocket, then something else.” / Fighters handling squabbles with UFC with media Jose Aldo

Jim Miller will be scrapping with Thiago Alves, Tim Boetsch will have a middleweight battle with Rafael Natal, Tim Kennedy will go toe to toe with Rashad Evans, Khabib Nurmagomedov takes his undefeated 23-0 record to Michael Johnson and Frankie Edgar will square off against Jeremy Stevens. This should be quite a card! Did we mention that we have not even started talking about the 6 fight main card yet???  Miesha Tate returns from her short title reign, ready to fight and claw her way back to the title picture again. But first, she’ll have to get by Raquel Pennington, who is riding a nice 3 fight win streak. Another fighter, Chris Weidman, will also be back in action for the first time since losing his title (and also suffering his first MMA defeat) against fellow one loss warrior Yoel Romero, who is looking to increase his undefeated UFC record to 8-0. There will also be a cowboy on the loose in Manhattan on November 12th as Donald Cerrone attempts to bring the pain to Kelvin Gastelum, who is riding high from his UFC 200 win over Johny Hendricks. So we now know that this is going to be an amazing night of fights! But there is something that we still have not revealed to you. There are also not one, not two, but THREE, yes THREE titles on the line! Joanna Jedrzejczyk puts her belt and undefeated record on the line against the Polish Princess, Karolina Kowalkiewicz. Both fighters come in with perfect records and it will be the perfect night for one of them to be crowned the champion! In the night’s co-main event, newly crowned champion Tyron Woodley will bring his bad self up against the likes of Wonderboy, Stephen Thompson. Wonderboy is riding a 7 fight win streak and hasn’t lost since a decision loss to Matt Brown in 2012 while Tyron is fresh off his title winning, 1st round knockout of Robbie Lawler. Then finally, in the main event of the evening, The Notorious Conor McGregor brings his brash self to try making history against The Silent Assassin, Eddie Alvarez. Alvarez is coming off of his TKO, lightweight title winning domination of Rafael dos Anjos while the Notorious One is looking to continue his momentum after avenging his only UFC loss to Nate Diaz. Rydog, Sahara and Mr. Dactyl discuss the UFC 205 press conference and the brilliance of Conor McGregor. Also on their minds was Jose Aldo’s demands and wondering if fighters are not seeing the bigger picture when getting the exposure created by guys like CM Punk. The crossover appeal that exists in WWE and other sports is very real and fellows share some personal experiences for UFC 203. Hosted by Ryan Middleton, Jim “Sahara” Mooney and Dan “The Terry Dactyl” Altieri.
