I follow this fight game and know many in the industry ...

Sure Jones has a problem but he also knows he cant sit on top forever ... So why not bring yourself down before somebody does it for you?

this fight was even money ... Books totally inflated the line ... Nobody is immortal in MMA ... IMO DC would have beat him.

Jones is now a has been and ruined EVRYTHING with Dana and Lorenzo

Jones will hold a press conference Thursday at 11:30 am ET inside the MGM Grand to address tonight's news that he is out of UFC 200.

Lot of high-level fighters (Bisping / Mousasi / Latifi) have offered their services to fight Cormier ... Tough spot for DC, though.

Has Lesnar passed all the piss tests? With that frontal lobe, he has to have used HGH at some point.

He filed for an exemption from hgh and it was granted. Lol

Jones has been a scam since he came into to the UFC, been saying it for years. He has height and weight against smaller guys...HW is where he belongs, but would get hurt badly

You always act like boxers don't cut the same weights to make fights...

Much different with boxers...also, many fighters go up and down. JJ/Dana know that he has no chance in his own class (HW)

Guy is a pure clown and I would never put him in the top 15 in regards to talent

DC is a better fighter first and foremost, especially talent/skill wise. What he did in HW was amazing....how he threw around HW's, crazy

Not different with boxers, numerous cut 30 pounds. He weighed 216 pounds last week. Jones has expressed interest to go to Heavy. Also, DC is a natural heavyweight too, Rumble Johnson, and on and on...

Was told by pro boxers that when they weigh in the day of the fight, the scale is BS. They were weighed with their clothes on along with stuffing tons in their pockets too. No fighter has ever gained 30 lbs in one day...complete bullshit, losing it yes

Who said anything about gaining 30lbs in a day?! Also, the scales at the weigh-ins is for show, they weigh backstage or at the hotel. Also, they now have the option to weigh-in in the morning and more than 24 hrs before the show starts, which allows for even more hydration and more weight gain. Stephen Thompson did this for his last fight and told
me it's the best he's ever felt just from being able to hydrate just a tad more.

Most fighters lug around 2-3 different sets of scales for verification throughout the cut.

Can we get clarification as doping meaning coke, marijuana, etc., or doping as in enhancing drugs??
I missed the presser this morn, did he say I wonder? Most would assume Coke, which is terrible with its short life on the body, but it could be some type of PED considering he's staying he's the strongest he's ever been, but IMO, actually seemed the weakest.

Moose is the best option it seems. Crazy to seem him on an undercard anyways. He has 3 fights left under contract and needed some
good showings anyways. Maybe the fire is there, again...

Which kind of sucks and the problem with supplementation. These supplements most folks take aren't FDA regulated, I literally can slap a label on something and sell it (have and local gyms do). He honestly could've been taking something banned and not know it, I mean he probably did, but it's possible he didn't. That's why with their money, I say screw supplementation, I hire a nutritionist and a personal chef for camps...

Do any of you guys get the fights at home or do you go to a sports bar? I've been going to a sports bar lately, which has been pretty enjoyable (no cover charge).
