He will win. He's the underdog from the underground.

Anderson's only shot is turning back the clock and landing one of those pinpoint counters right on the button.
He pulls it off and he pretty much cements his legacy as the GOAT.

it a good thing that now the fighters have more time to gain the weight back

It's his first 3 rounder in a while, so maybe he will come out fighting instead of goofing off.
If he goofs off he'll get taken down pretty easily, so I'm sure he'll take it seriously.

Well at least that second chin will help him absorb some punches.
damn she has a shitload of followers/likes, some of the highest ive seen for mma

She also has over 2 million followers on Facebook. A lot of people don't realize but Tate has huge ass popularity. She easily has one of the bigger fanbases in MMA. Its just a lot of her fans are more casual and not the dedicated MMA core group so that's why you don't hear about it more.
It also helps she's beautiful of course
Oh, I'm very aware of this.
yet no mention on Raw or Smackdown.
Yet John Cena hosts an award show on a night that competes with NXT and they promote the shit ut of it.

I think Aldo is taking it everyone is pretty much treating him as a underdog just because of that KO loss to Mcgregor. I also hope he wins for the rematch for the title imo the mcgregor aldo build was the best in a long time.
In the same video... Silva don't give a fuck. He's just a glorified jobber at this point in his career. https://youtu.be/iGX1rZxpKYo?t=356

What the hell is up with Johny Hendricks? Like him missing weight is expected at this point.

Can you go back on the scale, brock? no? ok
No that's wrong. In wrestling and boxing whenever same day weigh ins have been trailed, dangerous weight cuts are still attempted and a made more dangerous as there is less time to rehydrate which increases the chance of brain damage (as the amount of fluid surrounding the brain is reduced).
Removing weight cutting will require consistent proactive enforcement from athletic commissions or promoters, neither of which are known to be proactive with regards to fighter safety.

DC is just going to close the distance on Anderson and smother him for 3 rounds. Anderson is a slow starter and 3 rounds isn't enough time for the Spider to go for the finish aganist a wrestler of DC's caliber. I'd be surprised if this fight goes a total of 30 seconds on the feet

You can see his body slightly seizing / shaking as well. Its happened multiple times when he's either missed weight or come close to missing.
The guy is ruining his body

And why would I want them?
sorry guys, probably mentioned 100 times by now, but do we actually know when Jon Jones test results are going to come back to confirm whether or not it truly was a violation? Or has it already been confirmed? Last I heard it was considered a possible violation.
Dana very very mad at Jon Jones. YA GOOF

B Sample result should be back any time. That said the odds of the B Sample coming back negative are incredibly low especially since he popped for 2 banned substances.

Jones B sample comes back positive too.

Shiiiit!! thanks for confirming dude. Man, it had to have been unintentional. I just can't imagine him purposely taking the shit. So bummed the fight isn't happening. Still super excited for 200 though. Should still be awesome.
He's right. There's no excuse, he's a fucking grown ass man and could have called them and listed everything he's taking to make sure it's A-OK.
If DC had a glass chin like Rockhold I'd say there's always a chance of an upset, but this dude took a direct hit from Rumble and still beat him. There's just no way.
Calling and telling them wouldn't do anything. These supplements are tainted at the factory if the proper precaution isn't used and they're making multiple supplement products. The banned substance is not listed on the ingredients.
Tim Means was caught for a banned substance. He told USADA the name of the brand. They walked in to GNC, bought it themselves, tested it, and it came back positive for the same substance Tim was caught for. The only way Jones could have prevented this would be to take absolutely no supplements at all.

This is ridiculous man, this entire supplement industry is an unregulated mess of a joke.
That doesn't make sense to me. Wouldn't the number of fighters getting popped be way, way higher if it was impossible to actually know what's in the shit you're taking? Why isn't there a guaranteed system to test what you're putting in your body?
I believe you can send it in to be tested, but it doesn't mean that brand will never have a tainted batch.
You would have to send a sample from every container you ever purchase and wait for results. I don't believe USADA has the roster to test for every fighter on the roster. A better system needs to be implemented. Someone mentioned USADA sanctioned products which could be a good idea.
I think more and more fighters will be popped for this until better system is implemented.
Are you sure that's how it all went down?
Jones admitted to taking a couple new supplements this year. I would think you'd try to stick to the same supplements and brands. Also, someone like Jones has enough influence in the sport where he should be able to strike a deal with a supplement company to make sure he's getting clean batches in exchange for some advertising.
Or at the very least Jones has enough money to get all of his supplements together and pay to have all of them tested. There's just so much money on the line for these guys, UFC 200 was going to be a huge payday, I just can't imagine not taking every precaution if I were in their position.
Sorry, I saw this post after I posted. There's absolutely no reason not to send in samples then. I mean, a typical container of supplements is going to last you around 30 days, so it's not like he's buying new batches every other day.

Blah! My viewing party with my friends basically fell through because of this Jones thing. I am probably gonna watch it with my one MMA-fan friend, but everyone else is out. The two top-guys with near-flawless records in their prime fighting for a belt was the big draw. My friends aren't even sure who Brock Lesnar is because they're not 13 year old boys. Names don't mean anything to the casuals, but you tell them "this guy's in his prime, he's a world-beater, he's going for a championship," people are interested. They ask "who's Brock?" Well, he used to be the champ. He hasn't fought since 2011, he's old, he lost his last 2, he's fighting a dude in his 40s who's never won anything, and there's no title on the line. No one cares.

Ahhh sample B.
I like that WWE's YT stream of the weigh-ins is actually better quality then UFC's.

How old is Hendricks?, he looked quite aged. Talking about his face... he looks in his fifties, it must be the short short hair and no beard, but i was surprised by how old he looks.
No, they don't know anyone, but they can grasp pretty quickly they're both great and there's a championship on the line. 40 year old Anderson Silva and 40 year old Mark Hunt fighting for nothing isn't cool.
I see you, Gomi! You're the man!
Hunt is a cool motherfucker.
Diego looks like shit. Let's go, Joe!
Aldo looking great.
...oh yeah. Dillashaw clawed his way out of obscurity for this card.
Anderson weighing in wearing more clothes than Royce Gracie.
Johny looking like garbage and still missing weight. I read the weigh in results earlier today and immediately scrolled down looking for him/Kelvin before reading anything else. Good on the latter for getting his shit together.
I wouldn't be surprised if Miesha having to get nekkid was pre-planned. Lord knows they need to drum up every ounce of interest they can after losing two much higher profile main events.
