Moving down in weight to pursue an extra belt is pathetic in itself. Using performance enhancers to accomplish that move is on a whole nother level though.

What if it was just a little DickPillashaw to add that little snap at the end of his punch?

That's my guess. Probably some kind of diuretic.

I really expect to see this excuse be used more often by fighters when they test positive. I mean claiming that people can "pulse" PEDs pretty much gives a green light to microdosing.

Would think some big fights would be announced in the next few weeks. UFC summer lineup looks so barren right now.

DC is waiting for Brock for obvious reasons, Jones will probably fight Santos around June/July I'd think, Khabib/Tony/TJ are done for atleast 6 months, McGregor is a who knows and if it Diaz won't comeback then I don't even know who it would be worth fighting for him? Holloway/Piorier winner?

Fighters need to go to "PED college". Get popped early in their careers then have a pass to dose for 7+ years. Ex game

Kinda like an early eye poke.

I expect Pettis to get thrashed pretty badly, no way you go from 145 to 170 in a year & do well.

Pettis/Wonderboy looks like an interesting match.

Ditto...Huge step down in comp on paper for WB. He's faced a murderer's row last 4 years.

Think he stops Pettis.

I want to see a more aggressive Wonderboy, Pettis is so much smaller that he has to go make a statement.

Yeah, I try not to get inside the fighters heads when handicapping these fights too much but you would think after his last few fights with Till/Woodley that he will be looking to finish vs an inferior fighter. Especially in a main event 5 round fight where the opponent is tailor made for him.

Oh **** that cut is brutal.

But if it isn't affecting vision it ain't stopping the fight.

Man, Formiga is a super-boring fighter.

I'd be surprised to see Pettis beat Thompson. It'd be fun if it did happen though.

Didn't expect that, wow, time to retire for Wonder boy. Masvidal and Pettis showing that size is overrated in 2019?

Never liked WB, one of the most boring fighters in the UFC. His smiling and hugging with Till all fight was the final straw for me.

Hope that is it for him as far as main events go.

Not sure what Pettis does now, the other guys at 170 will smash him.

Wonderboy ain't going anywhere. He was crushing until that shot out of nowhere knocked him out.

Probably right, it's just so boring when he wins.

Pettis should go back down to 155, winner of Barboza/Gaejthe does make sense to him. He's not close to the title in either divison, just do fights that make sense and make you money.
