The irony of half of these guys being speculated about have their own positive tests in the past. It's like a game of musical chairs.

 

[GunBR]

Silva vs Cormier may look dumb to some people, but c'mon, they had to find an opponent to Cormier only 2 days before the match.

And it's not gonna be a title match (probably), so the fact that Anderson is on a losing streak doesn't matter so much

 

[serenewarfare]

FYI, the word is that if he did indeed fail for two different substances, the suspension would be increased from two years to four.

Anderson Silva would make it an entertaining fight at least. That takes a bit of the bad taste out.

Such a waste of incredible talent.

 

[Heel]

At this point, they should have closed weigh-ins and reveal the Mystery Opponent after he walks out to the octagon.

So if the B-sample comes back clean, what exactly happens then? Can he just contest the suspension?

If the B-sample comes back clean then he's cleared. He's going to contest the suspension no matter what.

 

[Fitts]

So the Anderson dream isn't dead? Considering the circumstances I could see him throwing out some hail mary knees/front kicks to do something spectacular.

For the love of God though please anyone but Bader. The dude is just terrible.

Aww sick, I missed that ep of Eastbound & Down!

 

[The Beard]

37 year old Cormier vs. 41 year old Silva?

No thanks.

Dana also denied it recently. For what it's worth.

DC would shoot on Anderson with a double leg and then it'd be over, DC would sear him into the mat. Spectacle fight and nothing more, but they're probably looking for a name and panicking on 2 day notice.


Also Bader hasn't put his name into the hat, or at least publicly so you probably don't have to worry about it.

 

[Levito]

Sorry for double post BUT:

UFC Fight Night Dos Anjos vs Alvarez is officially undearway, prelims up on fight pass right now if you have a subscription.

No! Not...that guy! Tito Ortiz may or may not have been angry at him for something probably involving a cracked skull.

Cormier takes the stage. He gives a nod to Joe Rogan and immediately disrobes. He steps on the scale looking gaunt. 205 pounds! He made it. He steps off the scale and gives a handshake to Dana White. All of the sudden, the lights go out............"It's dark and hell is hot. Aint no sunshine when it's gone..." It's Anderson Silva! He ascends the stairs, gets a stack of cash from Uncle Dana and steps on the scale. 230 pounds!

UFC app is so much better

What's the actual difference? I haven't used the app at all.

Better.

Well, yeah if you're gonna be all realistic and shit instead of buying into the rare fantasy-turned-reality of a high profile fight for a fight's sake.

 

[HabeeNo]

Man I need Silva in the card T_T

Just that Instagram post got his name to trend in the US early today, Dana should not pass tthat

One more time, my GOAT

 

[TheChits]

That was a nice upkick

 

[Levito]

Beltran with a very nice submission victory.

 

[Barack Lesnar]

I'd buy the PPV if Paul Heyman introduced Brock. BAAAAARRRRRRACK LLLLLESSSSNARRRR

REGARDLESS Brock has this in the bag

 

[LAM09]

Nice surprise

 

[Krappadizzle]

I'm so disappointed that this happened for Cormier. I've loved watching JJ fight over the years and thought that Cormier is a great champion that the people deserved after the chucklefuck that JJ has become since winning the belt. I am super bummed. My Pops and I spent all day setting up the bar in his man room and getting the TV's all hooked up and shit and this happened and kinda put a damper on it.

 

[ldcommando]

another nice sub

 

[Heel]

Cormier enters the octagon, the crowd buzzes in anticipation. He looks cageside to Dana with a confused stare.

"You wanted The Spider? Look up there, ya fuckin' goof."

I posted it in the OT, might as well talk about it here. We usually don't make threads for the smaller events like this one.

That fight was terrible. I mean... try something in the last 30 seconds, please. Freaking repeat of Alexander vs. Kimbo (RIP).
