 Proctor vs. Larsen also announced by @InsideTUF:


That leaves Andy Ogle and Mike Rio with no fights.

Ogle wouldn't get cleared to fight of imagine. Phone Post

Yeah I doubt Ogle would be cleared and Rio perhaps has some sort of injury keeping him out of the fight too. According to UFC.com Brookins vs. Oliveira is a prelim, too, which sucks, so I'd guess they'll be showing three fights with the other two being the Finals and the losing semi-finalists matched against one another. Of course, that's assuming no vicious KOs to keep a guy out on suspension.

I thought uncle creepy and mighty mouse was the headline fight? Phone Post

I'm a little surprised Cruickshanks is fighting less than 3 months after being knocked out cold. I don't think that's a good idea, the brain needs time to heal after a bad knockout like that.

I hope he does well, I really enjoy watching him fight, but imo this is too soon.

Some good fights! Phone Post

They fight in Florida on June 8th.

GSP24 - Ogle needs to go to 145 when he's ready to fight. That kid is all heart. <img src="/images/phone/apple.png" alt="Phone Post" border="0" style="vertical-align:middle;"/>



He originally fought as a FW on the UK circuit so I'd imagine he'll drop back down now the show's over.

Sam Harris had interesting things to say regarding free will and meditation if you could make it through the first half of the podcast. I disagree with him about a lot of things he said at the start regarding the wars, however he is hardly the arch neocon especially when it comes to his views on religion and psychedelics.

I wonder how informed he is on the Afghanistan and Iraq issues because his views did seem a bit Fox News esque.

He could be well informed but people don't like to think it possible that an intelligent person thought about those topics and came to those conclusions by themselves, after not everyone will have the same views as you. It is not simply a case of 'everyone who supports the Afghanistan war is stupid'.

Thanks buddy. Phone Post

*sigh* I hoped they would bring Ogle back... Phone Post

MMALOGIC - Ellenberger vs Kampann in a five round fight smells delicious.
 


 agreed!!!!!!!

I like those 4 fights, wonder which ones will make it on the main card.

I think the last main card fight is the loser of the semis. Phone Post

Looking forward to seeing Cruickshank again.

War cruickshank! Phone Post
