Wonder if they came to a deal if they would still GSP/Lawler at 200....or maybe 201?

I know this is the MMA threads but I'm looking forward to Canelo v Khan, I think it'll be a good fight and there's no boxing thread.

Machida failed his drug test for an unspecified anti doping violation. Fight with Hendo is off

New York's governor just signed the MMA bill, and the UFC announced their first New York event at MSG on November 12th.

Lyoto Machida fully admitted to it, and said he did not know that one of the supplements he takes contains a banned substance. (WADA called it an "anabolic agent") It wasn't tainted, it is supposed to contain a substance that is banned by WADA/USADA.

He said he even filled out a questionnaire before the test asking him to list the supplements he's taking, and the USADA rep looked at it and was like "uhhh, this supplement here, didn't you know it contains a banned substance"? Not surprisingly, he then tested positive.

The fight card this weekend is still pretty good, but it was great by free TV standards.

Mark Hunt signed a 6-fight "multi-million" dollar contract with the UFC. He believes he will retire at the end of the contract.

So, at least $2MM. If thats what he's getting, then its at least $333K/fight

Still bummed Khabib/Ferguson is off...was really looking forward to that fight.

RDA will defend his title against Alvarez in July. That part isn't really surprising. What is very surprising is that it'll be on July 7. The fight won't be on TV or PPV, it'll be the headline of a fightpass card on a Thursday, the day before the TUF finale and 2 days before UFC 200.

lol, this card is snakebit.

Islam Makhachev failed a drug test tonight after weighing in, and has been pulled.

I'm digging this freebie on Fox so far, cant believe McGee lost to the noobie

And these two chicks are putting on one helluva brawl, LOTS of close in dirty boxing and vicious elbows

alnorth 04-16-2016 05:21 PM

I'd be fine with literally anything from the judges, this fight was absurdly close

Easy 6 04-16-2016 05:53 PM

Killer win by Dodson... dude is a little dynamo, a finisher

alnorth 04-16-2016 08:03 PM

That was a very impressive KO

Rashad looked old and slow, on the defensive immediately
