UFC/MMA in 2016

Moussasi and Filthy Tom Lawlor have said they'll fight DC at 200
They HAVE to get DC a fight. ANYONE. Don't make him lose millions because Jon Jones is a fucking degenerate moron.

This should be a repeat offense for Jones, right? So he might get 3 years suspension instead of 2? I'll have to look up the new rules again.
Edit: It's 2 years for the heavy drugs for first offense and 4 years for the second. Rec drugs are 1 year for first offense and 2 for the second. Those numbers could be higher if there are "aggravating circumstances"

It has to be a PED cuz they don't do anything about recreational drugs 3+ weeks before the fight. Your pre and post-fight tests you can get knocked for recreational drugs but 3+ weeks out its not a violation.
He walked off the stage but then went back and answered more questions. He said he "didn't knowingly" take anything. Usual spiel, didn't know what the substance was, didn't take it on purpose, etc.
They took a B sample today, results in by tomorrow. We might not definitively know for weeks.
Okamoto said he's never tested for PEDs before, although he did test for cocaine last year
DC said he's willing to go up to 225 if a fight can be made at that weight. Gustafson also threw his hat in the ring

I do not understand why they do not test multiple samples at different labs as part of the standard testing practice. If both come up positive for the same result, then you are done. If there is a discrepancy with the results from each lab, then you retest.
Yeah, that doesn't make any sense. How can you call it a "B" sample when it was taken 3 weeks after the first failed sample was taken? To me, that's just a brand new "A" sample.
Is it purposely designed this way to give the UFC some wiggle room? I must be missing something.
Edit: I just watched the press conference, and they said that the B sample is being tested today. I was confused by Infidel's post that said they "took" the sample today. That clears things up a bit, but I agree with Payrod...why do they wait this long to verify? The damage is already done.

It would be fun and Anderson is a big name. Makes sense for the UFC if they can get him in. Not sure about Anderson though...
TMZ says DC vs Anderson, 3 rounds, no belt.
Silva is getting thrown out of the cage.
Wow, I did not see Alverez beating RDA

Just watched the Silva press conference. Dana said it came down to Mousasi, Silva, and Hendo. Said they didn't want to take Mousasi from his fight at UFC 200, and "we have plans" for Hendo. So they brought Silva in and did all the medicals today and they came up fine. (I'm guessing Mousasi was the second choice if the medicals came up bad.) Nevada has special medicals for fighters over 35, Silva passed them all. Silva just had gall bladder surgery 7 weeks ago. He said he's been training, he always trains, and he started sparring again yesterday. DC asked if the fight could be at 210, Silva said 205 is fine. Silva doesn't have to cut any weight. He was asked, with all the names out there wanting fight Bisping, who should fight Bisping, he said "Spider".
good god this fight is epic. great contrast in styles. I have it 2-1 Gadelha after 3 but Joanna went to town in round 3
Intriguing fight so far through 3 rounds. Both of these fighters could implement some more head movement to make it more difficult for these strikes to land.
She's great no doubt, but Gadelha is close. It was truly two different fights. The first 2 rounds and the last 3.
So WTF happened to Johny Hendricks? He's fallen so far in just about a year and a half

Wondering the same thing. I thought he won the second Lawler fight, but that seemed to take something out of him. I also wonder if he is a different guy in the USADA tested UFC than he was before. He certainly has had much more trouble making weight recently.
I agree with Okamoto:

29-38 Gastelum for me. Johny ain't Johny anymore.
I still think Gastelum is going to be a champ someday. I like that guy.

Trouble making weight? There are lightweights bigger than him.
Right now he's not half the guy that ran through Condit, GSP, and Lawler. Actually, he's so bad it's affecting how I feel about Wonderboys win over him
He missed yesterday and had to drop out of the Woodley fight with weight cutting related issues.
Certainly seems it. 40 minutes in, a first-round TKO, and just starting the entrances for fight 2.
Hope you're not doing anything early.
I'm no UFC guy but shouldn't Hunt put away Lesner in about 12 seconds or am I way off base here?
-260 to last less than 2 rounds. Why is Hunt only -150? Doesn't make sense but who knows.
The odds changed a decent amount in the last 24 hours due to a rumored Hunt injury.
