Rumours Lesnars failed drug test was due to an asthma inhaler. 

[When Jokers Attack]

Lesnar popped for the in competition test (test done 12 hours before and after the fight)

Chad Mendes suspended for 2 years.

[The Nal]

Fucks sake. Really getting silly now.

Just watching the Fight Night from last week, some great fights.

The chin on the newcomer in the co main event was NUTS! How he took that superman punch and didn't flinch was amazing!

yeah that was a crazy fight.

Holly Holms losses really taking away from Rouseys comeback. Looks like it'll be Rousey vs Nunez. If Nunez is still champ. And then a rematch with Holm presumably.

UFC have signed a new tv deal with bt sport until 2018. Every event will be shown live. They will also be promoting ufc during the 5.30pm football matches.  https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/mma/1472693/ufc-signs-new-tv-deal-with-bt-sport-until-the-end-of-2018/

 

Rogan is also staying with the ufc 

Quote

 

"I signed for at least one more year. So what I decided to do was, um, I was on the fence, man. I just do too much shit, I'm too fucking busy. And, after a while I'm like, I don't know if I'm doing myself and all the different things I do, a disservice. And I was real close, I was like, either I'm gonna completely bail off this, or I'm gonna try to figure it out.

So I had a conversation with Dana, we had a bunch of conversations, and what I decided to do was, um, no more international travel, no more flying across the planet, [.....] I decided to only do PPV, no more FOX, so I'm cutting down a lot of the events but I'm doing at least a year. So it's like a year by year thing, but at least one more year."

And we have another new champ, Woodley is such a dangerous fighter in the first round. He wants Nick Diaz next, would be bullshit to not give it to Wonderboy. Make Diaz vs Lawler.

[metallimuse]

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck! Can't believe Robbie lost!

[The Nal]

A PR machine.

Also UFC 204. From Manchester. But starts at 3am GMT. 

[When Jokers Attack]

 

[The Nal]

Cool. Will be interesting to see if he can fight. And if his injuries from wrestling stifle him. Hes already had a few bad ones in training. Very very tough division too.

Some great events over the next few weeks.

Diaz vs McGregor II

Maia vs Condit

Arlovski vs Barnett

Miocic vs Overeem, Werdum vs Rothwell, Punks debut.

Also just saw this.

Officially announced yesterday. We got any idea how much a decent tic for this'll be?

[When Jokers Attack]

I'll be going to 204 if I get tickets.

 

[When Jokers Attack]

Really good interview

 

 

McGregor one was good too

 

[The Nal]

Nail on the head there from Conor. "He might try and engage in the grappling earlier". Thats the worry for McGregor. 

[When Jokers Attack]

I think the fight will go like the first but last longer.

[The Nal]

Press conference was amusing. Needed a bit of niggle. Its all been too nice thus far. 

[metallimuse]

Did I see right? Dana White has come out and said Jon Jones might not of knowingly taken PEDs? Surely that's a given?

[metallimuse]

Really hoping for a great night Saturday but seeing as I've got the lads over who only care about/know McGregor I'm convinced that fight will be over in the first lol!

Agree with Joker. Think itll last a few rounds and then Nate will do him on the ground. Dont think Conor can do 25 minutes against him. He has to box the whole fight too. 

Nate has only ever lost by submission once in 10 defeats. 10 years ago. And he has never been knocked out. Only 1 TKO. The other 8 defeats by decision. Tough cookie.

Thankfully totally wrong! Very impressive. Great fight. Thought McGregor was done in the 3rd but recovered well.

[CHRLY]

Yep. Surprised that Conor survived that onslaught towards the end of the third. Really top stuff. Really great card too, massive KO's from Rumble/Cerrone/Perry/Garbrant.
