I know you're trolling me but I feel like I should clarify my position so at least you can troll me for my actual stance. I wouldn't be surprised if any fighter in this sport is juicing. Cole Miller. Mark Hunt. BJ Penn. Nick Diaz. Any of my favorite guys. Literally nobody would surprise me, so don't mistake me for being naive.

BUT, I believe that accusing guys who have never popped with no evidence is a fruitless endeavor at best. The eye test has proven to be an unreliable indicator time after time.

I don't think that's some outrageous position.

The one where he reviews Dillon Dannis’ fight is crazy. He’s either just done a huge line or is allergic to cats and Eddie Bravo brought in whiskers from home

He's on blow probably any time he's on tv/media. Guys a fiend.

He has never done cocaine. That's synth test, HGH, and weed.

Ariel says they won't be scheduling any fights until Conor gets his issues figured out in Nevada. Sounds like it's just something Cowboy wants, and there is no truth to it, at least as of right now.

I could see Connor being down for it. It would be a good draw, a fight he should win, and would have everyone calling him a good fighter again.

He needs a win to get back into the limelight, another loss would be brutal for his image and might be the fight that sends him from both one of the best to go along with the biggest draw, to just a big draw. This fight will be good for him. Tony right now would be horribly bad. Stylistically, Tony is terrifying.

Ya I think it’s a fight he’d like.
Nate is always there as well. Dustin P is another. I can’t see him taking one outside of those guys.

It’s in the ufcs best interest to set Conor up with stylistically beneficial fights like it was said.he has to win his next fight

Cowboy is a good fight for him. Conor is an excellent pressure fighter and Cowboy historically hasn't done well against pressure fighters especially with Conor looking for early KO's and Cowboy being a slow starter. It's a very very winnable fight for Conor and he definitely needs a W.

It's so ideal. Cowboy's stand up looked awkward and off-balance on Saturday, he caves to big events, and he does poorly against boxers (i.e. Nate).

Good for Cowboy too. He really should only be doing big money fights right now at this stage in his career and there's no bigger fight, no bigger name than Connor.

It's good for his pocket book, sure. But it's a really likely beating similar to the ones he took by Till and Nate. He can't deal with that length or pin-point boxing.

Masvidal versus Nick.

Should be fun. Can't believe Nick is actually fighting.

Not getting my hopes up. I'd put more confidence in Tony vs Khabib making it to the opening bell.

It's a pretty great match-up, that said.

Maybe it's just me, but Nick is way bigger than Jorge in my head. This is happening at WW? Maybe just because Jorge was the LW who dabbled at WW and Nick the WW who dabbled at MW.
