I posted the MMA junkie article above, and Sherdog says they aren't sure who threw the first punch, either Nate or someone in Khabib's camp. Then Sano and Nick escalted it later, and Sano rushed the Russians. Not a big deal either way unless Khabib threw a punch. He is the only one with anything to lose here.
Spencer Laraza is a media member who was there and saw it go down, I posted his twitter and it says that Nick was calm and collected until Khabib punched Martin in the mouth. They all have something to lose, they are all employed by the UFC and make a ton of money.

Rousey has zero incentive to fight at anything other than 135. She's well paid and dominates everyone in her weight class. She also said she won't make exceptions for a known PED user. I think having her on the same card as McGregor would be awesome. I think Aldo will fight McGregor no matter what the injury is this time, no way he pulls out again.

I also don't get the mentality that fighters think they're champs when it's the interim belt. Just the word Interim should make you think "I'm the stand in." Hell, a bunch of champs now didn't even have to beat the guy who held the belt before him to be champ, 135, 145, 170, and 205.

UFC 192 is shaping up pretty well. I can't get behind the 205 Championship fight though. I don't think Gus deserves a shot but 205 seems pretty shallow right now. Looking forward to Hendricks and Woodley, hoping it stays standing but I think it'll end up being Hendricks taking Woodley down all night.

I could see Gus giving DC a lot of problems with his footwork and range control.

And I could see Johnson getting a rematch if that happened and KO'ing him again.

I wouldn't bet on that, if not for that head butt it's hard to say what would happen. Rumble could certainly beat him again but it's not a given.

How does Gus not deserve a shot?!?! His fight against Bones was easily Bones biggest challenges since being in the UFC.

You think that's the reason he got absolutely smashed?

Did you see what Rumble did to him?

205 is weak right now to the point Bader has an argument that he could be the number 1 contender

Glover put OSP to sleep last night in a great performance. Sara McMann got steam rolled and Michael Johnson got robbed.

That Michael Johnson robbery was terrible. What in the world were those judges watching?!

UfC 191 tomorrow, some awesome fights on there, two of them are on the prelims and should be on the main card. Pearson vs Felder and Lineker vs Rivera. Top three fights on the card should be great.

Yeah he's getting on my nerves, his ego is out of control. Someone should have slapped his ass.

Bellator wants to be Pride so badly, Phil Davis looked like a star last night.

Woodley and Hendricks fight cancelled - Hendricks was rushed to the ER because of weight cutting issues and kidney stones.

Terrible, hope he's alright but he only has himself to blame for this. He balloons up to 225 pounds in between fights an carries around too much body fat. Good luck at 185 Johnny where you'll be incredibly small. UFC 192 is still a great card top to bottom.

Pulling for Gus and Rashad. Not a big fan of DC, I also think anyone at 205 gets smoked when Jones comes back. He can enjoy being called "the champ" now, but everyone knows when Jones comes back he's a paper champ, just like Conor.

DC sounds so insecure to me, and has been really cocky lately. Guys is a tough match up for him with his movement and striking, he won't gas and quit like Rumble either. Benavidez vs Baugatinov moved to the main card, two top 5 flyweights.

I put money on Bader and Eye as underdogs might put money on Gus as well.
