With Stipe vs Cormier going down very soon at UFC 226 on at July 7th, there has been plenty of speculation of what the next big super fight could be. Maybe T.J. Dillawshaw vs Demetrious "Mighty Mouse" Johnson if they both successfully defend their belts on August 4th. George St Pierre even recently stated on The Joe Rogan Experience that he would like to be the first to win a title in 3 different weight classes. The Current Lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov even has expressed his interest in facing GSP at Madison Square Gardon but we all know Khabib and Conor have somethings to settle in the octagon first.

The fight at the top of the list that is pretty much set in stone is former UFC Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar versus Former 2-time Light Heavyweight Champion Jon "Bones" Jones after Jones called out Lesnar after he defeated Daniel Cormier in their rematch for the Light-Heavyweight Championship. Lesnar then responded by saying "be careful what you wish for". Both fighters will be coming of off their suspensions if this fight is made and the anticipation has been building.

Both of these former champions are extremely interested in this Super fight as it can easily be the UFC's biggest fight to date. The last time we seen Lesnar in the octagon was at UFC 200 in 2016 when he defeated Mark Hunt by unanimous decision in an completely one sided bout. But his victory was then overturned after he tested positive for Clomifene after the his fight when he was tested by USADA. Brock Lesnar had 5 wins 3 losses and 1 no contest in his MMA career and the WWE Superstar is easily one the biggest draws in the Ultimate Fighting Championship.

As the world awaits for USADA's decision on what they will do with Jon Jones after he was flagged for testing positive in a collection that was taken from him after the weigh-ins for his bout with Daniel Cormier for the UFC Light-Heavyweight Championship at UFC 214. The CSAC said that they have decided to overturn the victory over Cormier after Jones had been flagged for the steroids.

Jon "Bones" Jones and his team firmly believe that this is the result of a tainted supplement that he took with no acknowledgement of what it was. Jones had tested positive for Turinabol which is an anabolic steriod. There are plenty of rumors of how this could of happened if it really was a tainted suppliment. Jones has been very open in the past but his prior cocaine use and many think that maybe what caused him to test positive if he was dabbling again.

While both fighters are wrapping up their situations at the moment there is no doubt that this fight will eventually be made on a big card. It can very well be the UFC's biggest PPV gate ever as one of the most dominant Heavyweights in UFC History the freak that is Brock Lesnar takes on who many people in the mix martial arts world consider the Greatest Light-Heavyweight of all time Jon "Bones" Jones.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
