Dominick Cruz would be interested in big money fights at featherweight, like taking on Jose Aldo or Conor McGregor should an opportunity present itself if one of them gets injured leading up to an eventual unification bout for the UFC featherweight title. Cruz had 3 fights at featherweight between 2006 and 2008. Urijah Faber just signed to fight Jimmie Rivera at UFC 203 on September 10th. In the main event of UFC Fight Night 91, heavy hitting bantamweight John Lineker dropped Michael McDonald 3 times before finally getting the KO 2:43 into the first round. Linker was ranked #8 going into the fight, McDonald was #5. Lineker says he's coming for Dominick Cruz. Tony Ferguson tapped out Lando Vannata by d'arce choke in the second round. Vannata, who was a late replacement for Michael Chiesa dropped and rocked Tony twice in the first round in what was one of the most exciting rounds of the year in the UFC. Tim Boetsch TKOs Josh Samman in the second round. Boetsch snaps a 3 fight losing streak with the W. Ben Nguyen survived a tight rear-naked choke attempt but couldn't avoid the ground and pound of Louis Smolka who got the TKO 4:41 into the second round. Smolka has won 4 straight. Keita Nakamura tapped out Kyle Noke with a rear-naked choke with a second left in the 2nd round. Dana White says he wholeheartedly believes Georges St-Pierre will never fight again. A problem for GSP is that under the Reebok deal he would only make $20,000 in sponsorship pay; he has fought 21 times in the UFC and that's what the pay scale dictates he would get. GSP has had 7 figure deals in the past with companies such as Under Armour, NOS Energy, Coca-Cola, and Hayabusa. Norman Parke doesn't think Eddie Alvarez will hold the belt too long. Eddie says he'd be happy to fight Conor McGregor because he wants to make the most money possible while he gets a percentage of pay per view sales as champ. Updated version of the UFC 201 poster featuring Robbie Lawler vs Tyron Woodley. Since Demetrious Johnson is injured, Sean Santella replaces him to fight Wilson Reis at UFC 201. Ross Pearson replaces the injured Siyar Bahadurzada to fight Jorge Masvidal at UFC 201 on July 30th. Pearson just fought on Friday and lost a decision to Will Brooks. Rose Namajunas training for her bout at UFC 201 vs Karolina Kowalkiewicz. A win over Karolina could earn Rose a title shot against Joanna because Rose is the highest ranked fighter in the division who hasn't got a title fight yet. Claudia Gadelha and Carla Esparza have already had their shots at the belt. Cub Swanson training for his fight on August 6th against Tatsuya Kawijiri. Swanson considered calling it a career after a second broken jaw after fighting Max Holloway last year. But he decided to return and defeated Hacran Dias in his last fight in April. Lorenz Larkin replaces the injured Dong Hyun Kim and will fight Neil Magny at UFC 202 on August 20th. And lastly, Conor McGregor won the ESPY award for best fighter. And Holly Holm won the award for best upset for her win over Ronda Rousey. Link: http://espn.go.com/espnradio/play?id=17054163
