He joined Rogan and Goldie during the FP prelims and they said he'll be back for the Jones fight.

So... when did the UFC go back to the rock version of their "theme" song?, remember when the Rebook era started they were using a dumbed out, semi electric version of it. Also... who plays and what is the name of that song?

Thank God they went back to the metal version the remix is awful.
Uhh, that "Face the Pain" song?

so no UFC 200 main event announcement? guessing their waiting on DC's doctor appointment to see if he'd get cleared to train.
so they are really keeping conor off 200 huh
i remember dana said after rousey vs holms, he should get his promoters license taken away if he doesn't get a rematch done between them.
and that was a one-sided fight and no one really wanted an insta rematch, yet EVERYONE wants the conor fight now (not at first), from the fans, to the media, to the fighters themselves and they won't make the fight.

This GIF sums up Jones/DC 1, and I assume the sequel will be no different.

They don't care about him fighting Diaz. They just care about the drama between him and the UFC right now.

How about that performance by Demetrious Johnson? He just keeps getting better and adding new tools. Who would have predicted that he would end this fight by knockout in the first, with the decisive strikes being clinch knees to the head?
At this point, DJ probably deserves to be #1 pound-for-pound fighter on the planet, and he has cleaned out his division more thoroughly than anyone I know of. Even during the long reigns of GSP and Anderson Silva, there was always some challenger to reasonably match them up against. Jon Jones never even had to fight the same guy twice. Cejudo was the last (and by some analysis, the toughest) guy with credibility to challenge him, and DJ smoked him.
Edson Barbosa looked phenomenal as well. I would pick him in a striking battle against anyone near his weight. If Tony Ferguson hadn't managed to sink in that hail-mary late submission, he would probably be the lightweight title challenger, and he'd certainly give RDA a serious fight.

Really hope we get the Cruz rematch, there is absolutely nothing left at flyweight.

UFC 197 was pretty mediocre. I liked seeing Mighty Mouse clown that fool but besides that it was boring.
Mediocre cards happen too often in this era. Too many events, too often, and the fighters don't "go for it" as much cause they're terrified of losing and getting cut.(rightfully so)

Really? The Jones fight was a bit average, but everything else either ended with a great KO or was a decent war.

Yeah I enjoyed 197 quite a bit save for a fight or two.

IDK, I think part of Jones' performance was rust and part having to adjust to training for a new opponent who fought completely differently

Punk? Awesome.
Jones struggles with tall guys who can negate him physically. Main event was a stinker.
Mighty Mouse is awesome but he's his own worst enemy. He's dominant in a division that has little crossover appeal. I'm a long-time MMA fan and I can't even watch it. Most dominant midget is still a midget.
UFC is in rough shape these days.

Thar KO in the first fight on the card was amazing. Never heard of the guy before, rodriguez or something? But god damn it was insane. Mighty Mouse looked great, i was expecting a 5 round, dull, clinic from DJ, glad he finished it early.
Did anyone else see the video of Jones laughing about breaking OSP's arm? Its on r/mma, cant find a link in work, but basically the interviewer tells Jones that he broke OSP's arm with a kick, and jones literally starts laughing and dancing with joy. Rather than, you know, maybe be a little concerned or something, like most non shitbag people would.

You think Jones is going to finish somebody? That's actually hilarious.

These dudes are professional fighters. Broken bones aren't new and come with the territory. Laughing is a bit much but they're not going to pity each other for a bone break.

Well, yeah, that's the thing. Jones is a terrible person.

Rashad is now giving serious thought to dropping to Middleweight. He's only four years late for that one.
And Paddy Holohan has retired because he has a Factor XIII deficiency - something that causes severe bleeding. It's also more prevalent in the offspring of inbreeding. So take from that what you will.

That Irish takeover didn't last very long.

I think he's trying to force the UFC's hand.
Put public pressure on them by acting as if a deal was made and then the UFC looks bad(more than normal).
He's using his fans to strong-arm the UFC into not breaking more bad news and telling them that in fact McGregor is not fighting on the show.
Problem is, Dana has no issue telling them exactly that.
alpinestars1980

Exactly. Dana would rather watch everything burn down and be "right" than ever give in.

I just think he wants his cake and eat it too.
I don't think he ever wanted to sit this out. He's got enough money to stand firm if he chooses. He's in the position a lot of fighters want to be in but because they aren't they relent and do what the UFC says.

It´s amazing that the champion that steamrolled his challenger this past saturday is now streaming dark souls 3 on twitch. Mighty Mouse is probably going to have a tougher time with most of this game´s bosses than he had with cejudo.

Find through him that Louis Smolka, Angela Hill, and Max Holloway also stream games on Twitch. What a time to be alive.
