Cowboy is asking the UFC to promise him that he can still fight Cote on 6/18. He's not offering to drop that fight to take Khabib, he wants both fights.

That's a promise they can't really make due to the chance of a lengthy medical suspension

Yep, I assume Cowboy wants the UFC to say he can still fight, provided that he's not suspended.

For sure

OK, ummm... there are some very weird things afoot tonight. First of all, it looks like Miesha Tate will fight Amanda Nunes at UFC 200. Huzzah. Its not final yet, but they are working on it.

Tonight's intrigue surrounds these 4 tweets:

Uncle Dana will keep holly far away from Ronda

Another day, another fight announcement.

Khabib is going to take on some newcomer who is a champion in a lower promotion at a catchweight of 160.

Cat Zingano vs Julianna Pena has been added to UFC 200.

So wtf was all the back and forth with him and Cowboy?

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">What I picture Zingano vs. Pena will look like with Big John as the ref:<br><br>Side Note: LOVE, love, love this match-up! <a href="https://t.co/KYgFkm1f1C">pic.twitter.com/KYgFkm1f1C</a></p>&mdash; Stephie (@CrooklynMMA) <a href="https://twitter.com/CrooklynMMA/status/718212449745444864">April 7, 2016</a></blockquote>

not a clue, I assume the UFC was thinking about Cowboy, but went with this other dude instead.

USADA just announced that Frank Mir is positive for steroids.

He says he has no idea how it happened. He'll get his B sample tested, but if thats positive, he said he'll probably just retire.

Horses pretty-much all say the same thing...

GSP has confirmed that he's negotiating with the UFC on a possible return. Main stumbling block is sponsorships. (great, this again, what else is that Nike deal going to screw up)
