I'm starting to think, maybe, a little bit, that the UFC may try to weasel their way through this.

Before, I thought it was like 0.3% chance JBJ would fight in UFC 187. Now I think it might be 5-10%

As soon as you psoted Dana's tweet where he said it was a good meeting with Jones and his attorney, I thought the same thing.

Step 1: Talk to JBJ and his lawyer, tell them to shut the **** up until further notice and turn himself in right now.

Step 2: Fly to NM

Step 3: Talk to the DA, figure out if they are really going to pursue felony charges. (If so, then he can't fight, they don't want their reigning champion fresh off another victory to be sent to prison) If not, if its just a fine and community service, then we're good, proceed to Step 4

Step 4: Get the heartfelt apologies ready, rehearse it, make it look good. Get UFC statement and speeches ready, get it all over with before MayPac.

Step 5: Hopefully MayPac and the passage of time makes everyone forget

Step 6: Profit. Oh God, yes, profit.

STRIPPED!!!

SUSPENDED!!!

DC vs Rumble, UFC 187

"Daniel Cormier is beyond pumped to get this opportunity."

Awesome. I actually hope he wins, because I want him to get another shot at Jones. I think he can beat him. Thanks for the updates, bud.

Cormier has no shot at beating Jones.

The only way he is champ is if he gets lucky against Rumble.

And goddamnit.

I like Jones. I don't give a **** about the outside shit. He's a ****ing UFC fighter, not a politician, clergyman, etc

As a fight fan I was getting a bit bummed out, and 187 is still not as good as it could have been. Setting morality aside and just looking at the sport, Rumble and JBJ would have been a good fight.

However, DC vs Rumble for the vacant LHW championship is also pretty good, and I'm now much happier to buy the card than I would have been if they had just lost the LHW title fight altogether.

I think he went into the last fight with a solid gameplan and then got too concerned with landing takedowns late in the fight. I'll have to rewatch, though. My memory is a bit fuzzy. I just remember feeling like he let the opportunity slip.

Also, I'll admit I've only seen a bit of Rumble since he's been back in the UFC and fighting at LHW, but in his first stint, fighters like Cormier are the exact kind of fighters he struggled with. We'll see.

DC is thrillled to receive this upcoming ass whippin.

The UFC obviously had this lined up all day
