Cris “Cyborg” (14-1, 1 NC) is getting set to fight at Invicta FC 15 on Jan. 16 in Costa Mesa, California. Her potential opponent, Cindy Dandois (6-2) was announced by Invicta president Shannon Knapp on the Monday’s MMA Hour. Although Cyborg confirmed that there was no official bout agreement on the weight and opponent, it definitely sounds like Knapp is pushing for the bout between Cyborg and Dandois at a 140-pound catchweight, which could lead Cyborg to a fight in the UFC.

https://youtu.be/nXGrjq4-O1I This may not be a direct squat challenge between the the former lightweight champ Jon “Bones” Jones, but with the recent releases of “sneakpeeks” in the MMA gyms out there,  I thought I would share another squat video. 405lbs for the Northcutt. Like a wise man once said, “weights….they don’t lift back.” Well, he might not be that wise because they do. Resistance. Enjoy the video above.

https://youtu.be/REYcweDB3dg Jose Aldo and Conor McGregor were both on a path that was supposed to meet earlier this year at “UFC 189” in Las Vegas, Nevada. Dana White shelled out a ridiculous amount of money in advertising for the videos surrounding Aldo and McGregor’s championship matchup and it was expected to be one of the biggest events of the year. Of course, the gods of mixed martial arts decided fans didn’t deserve to see the matchup and Aldo was sidelined with a rib injury just weeks before the fight was scheduled to take place.
