Big change in the UFC antitrust case. Plaintiffs ask under Rule 21 to drop Kajan Johnson as a named plaintiff and substitute in Gray Maynard, with leave to file a conforming Second Amended Complaint. This move could eliminate all the Defendant discovery requests from Johnson.

There’s been a lot of chatter about the state of Independent Wrestling. I’ve had a lot of time to ponder it and wrote my thoughts as someone who has dedicated the last 10 years of my life to the Independent Scene. Please take a look and let me know what you think.
NEW: TKO Pres. Mark Shapiro weighs safety in Middle East against business risk.

This is worth the try alone for the Pollock & Ting: Talk series between @iamjohnpollock and Wai: 20 episodes through the last five+ years and a time capsule of running a news website/sub service, culture, and friendship.
It's unlike anything on any wrestling website I've ever heard and damn near perfect.
"The fact that we're even talking about whether a pro wrestling show could happen, in my opinion, is just totally insane. There's risk versus reward, and I feel like the risk, is the risk at the moment."

Pico specifically mentioned Sterling's name during the post-fight presser, and anyone who read MMA Junkie's article would know that
Reading the article first before you comment is the lesson
Misleading headline again from MMAjunkie. Tactic is employed a lot. Aljo is the last guy anyone should be criticizing when it comes to ‘protecting’ a ranking. But it really doesn’t sound like Aaron Pico was being critical, per se, as much as he was making a broader point. Full #UFC333 recap today on @anikflorianpod!
@Thecoachrules It's EXACTLY in the article if you had read it:
"For example, Aljamain, I was supposed to fight him, and they said it doesn't make sense for me to fight because he's ranked No. 11," Pico said at the UFC 333 post-fight press conference.
