This is the Promotional Malpractice Live Chat.
July has been a long month. Another weekend passes and there are fights to reflect on, but another weekend is in front of us, which means there's more ahead. From last week, there's Bellator 159 and UFC on FOX 20, which includes Holly Holm's loss to Valentina Shevchenko. The event result is good for the division as a whole and the ratings were sensational, but now all of that division's draws are coming off of losses.
But we forge ahead. There are somehow three more events this weekend. Invicta returns to action as does WSOF, but the big show, relatively speaking, is UFC 201. It's the sixth UFC show this month, but it does feature the return of UFC welterweight champion Robbie Lawler.
There are other issues lingering in the sport, including Mark Hunt lashing out at the promotion over what he sees as a failed anti-doping policy and unfair treatment. In addition, Nate Diaz and Conor McGregor are already doing the media rounds and it's great.
