Forget the drug test, we're not talking about the elephant in the room; he ducked Chael Sonnen after feuding with him for years. That lack of budo from a man previously oozing it, combined with the lack of closure is a bitter pill to swallow.

 

[strobogo]

Nah. He didn't want to face a cheater like Chael.

 

[Dysun]

Nah. He didn't want to face a cheater like Chael.

ironic considering he probably took more roids in his career

 

[Sato Koiji]

Hunt is a spectacular story...

Everybody that witnessed the legendary K1 fights Hunt was in and now sees him leave a mark in the ultimate has a great time now!

I still cant believe it...

 

[strobogo]

That's never been proven.

 

[alr1ght]

Every time I see Hunt fight I continue to wonder why it's not just constant takedown attempts from the opponent. If you're going to bang with him, you're going to lose.

Rethinking this whole ducking thing after the video, especially if the circumstances he presents are true. Ducked based on what, Chael talking some yang that it'd happen? Dude is a broken down fighter juicing to recover in the twilight of his career. I doubt he's making up injuries.

How did the Vitor/Wand fight get scrapped again? It's all a blur at this point.

Curious to see how The Dana responds. Say what you will, the man is a legend of the sport.

Hunt stuffed all but one takedown. Roy was spamming it pretty good.

 

[Host Samurai]

Its nuts thats as old as Hunt is, hes still in the top 10. I see him KOing AA, Reem, Stipe etc. Might not beat JDS, Cain, Josh or Werdum but id favor him over anyone else

yes because a guy who previously fought Hunt is afraid to get in the cage with Chael Sonnen...

 

[Host Samurai]

I doubt Wand was scared of the least dangerous fighter on the UFC roster that can draw the biggest money. This goes deeper.

 

[slightconfuse]

Just watched the main card.

Misha looked prettying good.

Miles Judy still has an awesome name

Mark hunto does it again!

Yeah but in Japan he was allowed to roid his brains out. Now he can't and pretty much made a joke out of his career.

Great Japan card yesterday. Another great card next weekend. UFC finally recovering a bit.

Hunt and Sonnen are so far apart that no amount of roids is gonna make a difference.

Your favorite UFC fighter has used steroids. I don't think he suddenly stopped using steroids in the U.S. either. The first time he was randomly tested out of competition he was caught...haha. Same for about everyone else so far, too.

 

[Vio-Lence]

BASED Hunt winning I'm the ultimate strengthening Fedor's resume. Top 10 don't lie.

 

[parrotbeak]

Just saw the first two TUF women's fights. Both featured inverted triangles in a 69 position. I'm definitely going to watch this season.

 

[Host Samurai]

Speaking of Fedor how the fuck couldn't he KO Bigfoot as AA made it look easy? I need to watch that fight again. Forgot if it was competitive or a 1 sided beat down

It wasn't as one-sided as Shogun being emasculated by Jones, but it was close enough. Fedor's only moment was a rather pathetic leglock that Bigfoot just laughed at.

 

[Plywood]

Natty "Icecream Build" Fedor was fighting a Bigfoot that was full of ripe 17 year old testosterone and other currently banned substances.

[A More Normal Bird]

Werdum, Barnett, Hunt, Arlovski and Rothwell in the top ten, Nog, Overeem, Nelson and Mir arguably top 15. Miocic's still unproven and Browne and Silva are cheaters (one in the cage, one out) who are only in the top ten because they were able to get their arses kicked by Overeem so much that they activated his "winning until he lost" mode instead of actually beating him like Rothwell did.

Fedor fought his last fights at a solid 240ish pounds with crisp striking and intelligent gameplans. Throw in the TRT ban and in 2014 none of his losses happen. Cain and Junior are his only threats and it's not hard to envisage him relegating them to #2 and #3 like he did with Nog and Cro-cop. The Fertitta's have one last throw of the dice at saving their dying company; bet everything on coaxing The Last Emperor out of retirement and getting him that title shot.

let's not forget Bigfoot spent 25 minutes in the company of Mark Hunt without losing his consciousness.

Lets just remember that top 10 AA was floating away to Valhalla the last time he spent 2 rounds in the ring with near prime Fedor.

I was going to list the fights on the 178 card that I'm excited about, but after looking at them all I realized I'm excited for every single one. Okay, maybe not so much Kennedy/Romero, but every other one for sure. At long last, the return of Cat <3

Make it Wands last fight....in Japan. Very poetic

Didnt wand retire? I guess he could be talked into participating in a worked fight versus a Japanese can.

 

[BigJonsson]

Yup

Ariel Helwani &#8207;@arielhelwani 51s

Unconfirmed so far. RT @guicruzzz: Vitor Belfort tweets Chris Weidman broke his hand and is out of UFC 181. Fight is postponed, per VB.


Ariel Helwani &#8207;@arielhelwani now

Dana White just confirmed to me that Chris Weidman had to pull out of UFC 181 and the Belfort-Weidman fight has now been moved to Feb.

Oy


Ariel Helwani &#8207;@arielhelwani 9s

As a result, Johny Hendricks vs Robbie Lawler 2 is now taking place on Dec. 6, per Dana White.



Good, good

 

[industrian]

We're counting days until Werdum vs. Arlovski 2 is confirmed to headline the Mexico City card, aren't we.

 

[Maklershed]

Nah breh, it'll be the return of Paul Buentello. The next UFC mexican star!

 

[TheChits]

Conor/Poirier countdown piece. Exceptionally pumped for this one

 

[Next]

I'm torn on this one. On one hand, I love seeing the derailment of hype trains, on the other hand, I'm starting to kinda like Mcgregor, so I'm hoping he's not all talk. Also he got huge popularity in a short amount of time so he should be good for mma.

 

[alr1ght]

Christopher Wildman is the new Pettis.

 

[Dysun]

I'm cool with it, Hendricks vs Lawler 1 was a great fight and it was supposed to go down in February now moved up 2 months

 

[Chamber]

Christopher Wildman is the new Pettis.

Pretty harsh, brah. Pettis has been champion for a year without ever defending the strap.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Dom Cruz will die an old man having never defended his title

 

[ron_bato]

Dom Cruz will die an old man having never defended his title

You mean regaining the title? Because I'm pretty sure he defended his UFC title twice, once against Faber, and once again DJ.

Pretty excited to see him fight again. I know his style is divisive, but I love the way he fights. He may not have KO power, the way he uses angles and footwork is really fun to to watch.

The Chris is probably just tired of smashing old brazilians masquerading as contenders.

[slightconfuse]

UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones was fined $50,000 as a result of the brawl that took place between he and Daniel Cormier at an August 4, 2014 press event to promote UFC 178. Representatives of the Nevada Athletic Commission (NAC) unanimously approved the punishment at a Tuesday commission meeting in Las Vegas.

In addition to the fine, Jones will be required to complete 40 hours of community service in Las Vegas.

Edit

Cormeir punishment

@shaunalshatti: Cormier's punishment: $9,000 fine (10% of purse) and 20 hours of community service. Commission states that Jones was more culpable in brawl.

 

[strikeselect]

NSAC rules a lifetime ban for Mr. Wanderlei and 35% of his 200k purse.

Good night sweet prince.
