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.

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

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.

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. Last edited by TimBone; 04-28-2015 at 09:26 PM.. |
