A few quick hits before you dive in to this preview for UFC 207. First off, the entire preview for the Nunes-Rousey championship match is a meant as a study on whether Rousey truly has what it takes to be the champion again. I have a few quick hits about the card afterwards as well. Also note that the Fabricio Werdum fight against Cain Velasquez has been unfortunately scrapped due to the latter’s health.

Two casinos in Vietnam will be allowed to admit local residents on a trial basis, according to the most recent reports regarding the country’s long-awaited gambling decree.
The day before Christmas, local media reported that Prime Minister Nguyễn Xuân Phúc (pictured) had held a meeting with authorities in Quang Ninh province on December 22 during which the casino plans were discussed.
Nguyen reportedly confirmed that the Politburo had decided to conduct a trial of allowing locals to enter one casino being built in Quang Ninh’s Van Don special economic zone near the Chinese border and another being built on Phu Quoc island off the country’s southern coast.
Vietnam had been sending mixed signals regarding the possibility of a locals in casinos trial. In September, the Ministry of Finance submitted its latest draft of the new gaming decree, which reportedly argued against the trial. But October brought reports that the trial, which is scheduled to last three years to gauge the impact on society, was back on.
