And then moved to the October Dublin card!
Holy shit. UFC has had to change the main or co-main of a card 29 times already in 2015. Jesus christ

I think that goes into effect in about a week. Giblert should be thanking his lucky stars.I thought it was 3 years for PEDs
Lightweight division is in shambles right now.
Champ Dos Anjos, Pettis (#1), Khabib (#3), Henderson (#7), Jury (#9), Green (#11), Iaquinta (#13) are all injured. Alvarez (#4) too I believe. Melendez (#5) is suspended one year for juicing. Cowboy sidelined as he waits for his title shot. Masvidal (#15) moved up to welterweight.
There's only three fights scheduled (Thomson v Ferguson, Barboza vs Felder, Johnson v Dariush) and those will probably fall through too.

Iaquinta is fighting next week.
He was just on Ariel Helwani's show and said he's not fighting on the card anymore now that Gil has been pulled. Gonna get knee surgery.

I know physique isn't the only thing that sees the effects of PEDs but, i never would've pegged Giblert as a PED user...

UFC should terminate Giblert's contract. Dude is way overpaid and lost to all top 55ers except for Diego Sanchez.
I remember back in the Strikeforce when people routinely ranked him as the #1 LW fighter in the world.
I gagged a little after seeing this. What a lineup

It's Gib. Gib da fraud.
damn it, gil.
he always seemed so honest in his interviews, and he always brings his dad to his fights.
not to mention his fight with eddie was freakin terrible and that was with whatever he took.
shit, i'm a big fan of him. he should join shields in whatever crap organization he fights in now.

That you're weird for giving a shit about Ronda crushing another can.
I'm down for all of those fights besides Ronda and the TUF finale.

The fuck?
Huh.
At this point I just assume that every MMA fighters is on some sort of PED (or combo) and passing drug tests just means they were competent enough to cycle properly, etc.
Agreed, it's pretty obvious Fedor and GSP are the only clean champions we've ever had.

"Give us $200,000 are you have to relinquish these belts that nobody cares about anyway"
Makes sense. Considering Floyd has 1 maybe 2 fights left it'd be a complete waste of money. He doesn't need any belts at this point to validate himself or sell PPVs.
Yeah, but 200 grand from a 200 mil payday is a pittance.

But he gains literally nothing from having the belts. Nobody even knows or knew he had those belts outside of hardcore fighting fans. I'd rather just have the $200,000. Floyd would probably rather wipe his ass with that money, or drop it on some D2 college basketball game bet, than give it to the commission.
It sounds like such a great deal though. Give up those two belts from a higher weight class and pay us for this belt you'll never defend. In return, you get...to pay us.
Hah, fair enough, just struck me as strange that with a fighters ego and money to burn he wouldn't have held on to it.
Al would have put Ol' Gil down.

IT'S TIIIIIIIIIIME to watch UFC 5. UFC 4 was OK, if only for Dan Severn and Al Snow looking like the oddest couple. dream was right, it was really amusing watching Dan Severn actively refuse to actually hit anyone. He'd just grab people and hug them to death, I'm guessing he was a little naughty and rubbed his mustache against them a bit too to REALLY irritate the skin.
Also it was interesting to see Guy Mezger's name appear so early, even if he didn't appear on the actual main card. Finally, I miss Jim Brown.
