Totally on purpose. It was thrown with malice. You don’t KO the Zombie accidentallyI’ve watched the ending of the KZ - Rodriguez fight like 5 times and still can’t tell if that elbow was on purpose or just a fluke result of Yair dodging punches.
The pic of him with his cowboy boot wearing baby after the fight was pretty cute.After this fight it seems everyone is on the Cerrone train again. I don't know, I just can't like the guy after his Rogan podcast.

He'll face someone in the top 5 and get smoked again.

100 percent intention. He tried it earlier in the fight.Totally on purpose. It was thrown with malice. You don’t KO the Zombie accidentally
Still incredible though
Met? Like in person? I know of at least two fighters that defended Wink. Sanchez and Holm.I haven’t met anyone that has supported the Wink side of that little feud, I’m curious to hear the argument, if that is actually what you are referring to with the Rogan’s podcast reference.
Ha! No, I am referring to the dudes at my gym who, when they are not busy beating the crap out of me, talk nothing but MMA. Cowboy is one of the most beloved figures amongst the serious MMA fans I know and him getting kicked out of his own gym for a younger fighter, who is pretty controversial himself, didnt go over well with the MMA fans I know.100 percent intention. He tried it earlier in the fight.

Cowboys seems like a dick, but I don't like making conclusions of something I barely know anything about. I'd like to hear Winks side.
Haven’t seen him fight in awhile, but 205 is still kind of top heavy with Jones and DC potentially there for another year or two, plus Gustafson and Bader. I think he’d have a better shot at a belt or higher ranking at 185, no?Apparently Luke Rockhold is moving up to light heavyweight. I understand the weight cut was bad for him and he'll be able to put on more muscle and be stronger at LHW, but I'm not sure how that will make his chin any better. In addition to not being debilitated from the weight cut so much, will his quickness play up at 205 enough that the additional risk from heavier hitters is mitigated?
What do you guys think?
I like Rockhold. I hope he does well there, but I'm skeptical.
Good points. He’s got the size and strength I think. The top guys, absent Bader who you addressed, at 205 aren’t huge strikers, so I don’t know how much his chin will hurt him there. Not to say they can’t hit, but I’m talking Rumble Johnson type power.Bader moved to Bellator. Just speculating, since Rockhold and DC both train at AKA, Rockhold making a move to 205 might be an indicator that he thinks Cormier is serious about retiring or staying at HW. Of course Cain trains there too though.
Maybe it is more likely that whatever Cormier does, Rockhold knows it will take time to work his way up and even if DC does stick around, it won't be that long.
Anyway, that is all a long way of saying that LHW may not be so top heavy after all. He may still have a shorter path at 185 though. It is a good question.
Yeah, that would’ve worked best I think. Or even throw together a slapdash undercard.Yeah, I think it's like 11 to 13 percent of their purse is now gone due to the income tax. The crazy thing is that they could have just had two shows, the main show in Las Vegas and a show in LA with just Jones and Gustafsson. That way the fans/fighters don't get fucked over and you can still sell the PPV as Jones and Gustaffson in the main event.
I'm not a fan at all of UFC; I appreciate the skill and training that the fighters have and the actual fights can be entertaining, but I can't imagine having a huge passion for UFC and having to deal with so much bullshit.
Ryan Hall's heel hook is a sight to behold. It's magic.
There's a obvious smell test and convicted steroid user on the card, and it isn't Jon JonesYou guys might think I’m a sucker here but Jeff Novitsky was on Rogan’s Podcast Thursday, and after listening I’ve turned a 180 on this subject. Like all of you, my immediate reaction was to assume Jones was dirty and the UFC was inventing a technicality to cover for him and ensure the fight would proceed. But listening to Jeff present the evidence, it’s actually quite convincing and it’s diffuclt to see where deception might be creeping in.
I was also under the impression that all of these PED tests has minimum thresholds. For example, if you take a drug test for work, and they find 0.0000001 whatever units of THC in your system, that’s not going to count as a positive. However, apparently for these metabolites, since their discovery is so recent, there are no minimum thresholds yet on the books. So all they can do is report findings of minuscule amounts - like tens of picograms - and then let organizations make their decisions based on that. When we’re talking about amounts that small, we really have to be careful about false positives due to things like environmental contamination and remnants from past intentional/unintentional drug use (which is what they’re postulating in this case).
Jones has most definitely been dirty in the past, but we shouldn’t re-convict people for the same crimes. If he’s served his time, he deserves a chance to fight clean.
Now, that doesn’t mean the UFC still might have found a different way to handle this, as to not screw over fans and fellow fighters. But that’s a separate issue worthy of discussion.
That said, I’m still going to root for Gustafsson.
That was among the slickest subs I have ever seen. Not even BJs legs stood a chance.Ryan Hall's heel hook is a sight to behold. It's magic.
