But it’s also your two-day warning for UFC 162, so this week’s Twitter Mailbag is bursting with questions about Saturday night’s showdown between UFC middleweight champ Anderson Silva and challenger Chris Weidman. You expected that, if you have any sense at all, but did you also expect discussions on the real economic impact of removing UFC bonuses, or on whether Eddie Alvarez would be better off dropping his lawsuit and going back to work for Bellator? Maybe you did. Probably. Either way, this week’s TMB features all that and much more, so get in here and face the pain.
