Once more into the APEX, dear friends.

For the second week in a row, this Saturday, UFC Vegas 109 goes down in the world’s mightiest APEX and with it comes a matchup of elite middleweights. In the main event, Roman Dolidze takes on Anthony Hernandez in a bout with major divisional implications, and No Bets Barred is here to break it all down.

This week, host Jed Meshew flies solo to break down UFC Vegas 109, giving his thoughts on the main event matchup, what's at stake between Dolidze and "Fluffy," Steve Erceg's chances in the co-main event against his short-notice replacement, some ranked women's matchups on the card, a few exciting prospects, the latest update on The Climb, and more.

Tune in for episode 134 of No Bets Barred.

The big homies at Tapology this month revealed their own new computerized ranking system for MMA fighters — and, friends, they went big. The new Tapology rankings don’t just break down the Top 10 like your standard media rankings or the Top 15 like the UFC “rankings” do. Nope, they rank EVERY UFC FIGHTER IN EVERY WEIGHT CLASS. Can you imagine the potentially hilarious implications?

Anyway, Very Serious Journalist Ben Fowlkes caught up with Tapology’s Gregory Saks to talk about developing the new system (sounds like it was not easy) for an article on the Uncrowned. This week on the CME, we discuss.

Plus, it sucks to get cut from the UFC after a win (sorry, Martin Buday), Hector Lombard vs. Cheick Kongo in pillow fighting, and what’s with WWE bringing back Brock Lesnar not too long after he was named in the Vince McMahon sex trafficking lawsuit?
