I'm referring to his personality. There is nothing phony about his skills. That's for sure. He gave a wholesome image at first, but that ship sailed awhile ago.

Late to the party New York. You left years of money on the table. Vegas thanks you.

Conor and Nate announced retirement, although I am not buying it.

Retirement in fighting is as serious as, "I won't be in today, I'm feeling a little sick".
 
Connor better chill out. The UFC would be fine without him. But not the other way around. And since he spends everything he makes, we could be looking at another MC Hammer situation. He's defnitely lost some of his luster getting beat, now he's just coming off as too good to be inconvenienced by promotions. Dude better tread lightly.
 
That said, I think all parties will work things out.

Good to see Bones back in the ring. He wasn't as sharp as he could have been, but he certainly outclassed the #6 contender (who was fighting on short notice) for the interim belt. I think Cormier blew a really big opportunity to catch Jones with some heavy shots before he got his timing back. In other news Mighty Mouse is a very bad man, but we already knew that.

 

[robm321]

Agreed, I'm pretty sure Cormier would have beat the Jones that fought last weekend. Its not going to be as easy next time. Mighty Mouse is the best there is by far. There is no denying that. I just hope one day, someone can give him a challenge to make it interesting.

Having bingewatched TUF 23 with Joanna and Claudia, I REALLY hope for Joannas sake that she beats Claudia.

Jones pulled from UFC 200 for positive drug test.

Just read that and what the hell is Jones playing at, Dana must be mad as hell.
 
Still a fantastic card though.

 

[Coq de Combat]

Jon's done. This was his big comeback from all the crap he's been pulling on us for some time. 
 
But he just had to go and be himself once again.
 
Obviously Jon wasn't confident he could beat DC without cheating. Good to know. Let's not forget that out-of-competition tests normally don't test for recreational drugs, so this is some sort of PED. 
 
Edited for a milder language. At the same time I have to laugh about this - this guy, wow, just wow. LOL
 
Funniest guess on his upcoming excuse is: tainted coke. 

 

[Watagump]

Only one thing can save him, that's if his B sample comes up clean.

The chance is abysmal, TBH. B samples are taken from the same blood, so if one shows positive, the chance of the other not showing positive results are slim.
 
Who knows though .. it would an epic mess if B sample did turn out clean. 

 

[Watagump]

I think his career is over. But hey that's not 100%. I also doubt he will test clean on the other.

 

[Coq de Combat]

Yeah.. he'll have a press conference. We'll see what excuses he is going to use. Tainted supplements is probably the one.
