Just a little teaser to one of the largest events in history.  UFC 197 should be everything and more with all eyes on Conor McGregor as he attempts to be only the third fighter in history to win two titles, behind BJ Penn being the most recent fighter.

Say what you want about Dominick Cruz, the former champ may be skilled in things other than fighting but man, “The Dominator” has such a high fight IQ it would be a waste to see him only on FOX as an analyst.   He’ll have plenty of time for that years from now.

I don’t know about you but if this fighting thing doesn’t work out for Jones and that Irish guy McGregor, {sarcasm} they always can follow Ronda Rousey and stroll hand in hand down the streets of Hollywood making fist full of cash.   But how fun would that be?

Weight cutting is one of the more grueling aspects of the sport of MMA.   Amateur wrestlers for example have one of the bigger advantages in MMA due to most of them having years of training and conditioning to cut weight.
