oh I'm fine with it. Just really surprised me.

Is Lesnar/Hunt going to be 5 rds now? All UFC ME's are 5 rds, even on fight nights and smaller cards.

3 days away, Jones probably thought he got away with it. Dana must be kicking himself now.

Jones has to be done forever? i mean he screwed up UFC 200, management is going to lose millions.

This is so crazy. I switched the presser and satellite media tour today. Got out at 6pm and had no indication this was happening. The last set of SMTs we did were with Hunt and he wasn't aware at the time either.

Still only three rounds unless otherwise stated. The snarks are out suggesting making it five rounds wouldn't make much of a difference as it'll likely end inside three rounds anyway.

I really REALLY want Mark Hunt to win but expect it'll be Brock instead.

...back to tonight though, BT Sport in the UK will only be showing the main card from 3am GMT and no undercard. Meh.

Pulling McGregor/Diaz simply cuz White wanted to let Conor know who runs **** was terrible business. Why does what's good for business matter now?

Bisping vs DC, Bisping wins and is the first simultaneous title holder in two divisions, defends MW title vs GSP - retires as the GOAT.

funny he actually pulled Conor because he wanted to focus on fighting instead of media bull****.

Think about it this way

Jones screwed over so many people. He screwed over Tate, Brock, Dana, Management, Cormier, the fans, and maybe even conor and Nate. I don't see how he's not done forever after this.

because he can still make them a lot of money in the future (provided he can pass his drug tests)?

There is literally no fight with DC that would be competitive at this point

I think Gus and AJ can still be competitive with DC.

Test was carried out on the 16th June. Why are we only hearing about this now? Test results can be done there and then and may take a few hours providing variables, not weeks.

Complete blood work can be done inside an hour.

Seeing as this is his 12th or 20th public ****up, he doesn't get any "wait and see what the B sample is" from me. USADA is trustworthy imo and the odds this is just some freak false positive are super low.

Dana also said he flagged for two substances so good luck with the B sample.

Brazilian site saying it is confirmed that Silva will replace Jones. Sick and really makes me very interested in this card again. Of course most likely Cormier wins very easily in r1 but if somehow Silva manages an upset will be amazing.
