UFC on Fox 19, April 16th (Machida is a macheater)

Didn't see an event thread.

Anyway, the main event between Hendo and Machida has been cancelled, as Machida admitted to taking banned substances.

Actually a really good card.

Would have been fantastic with Khabib vs. Ferguson.

I'm disinterested in seeing Hendo fight at this point, so this all worked out, though the idea of Machida being a Macheater is upsetting.

Wonder what he took since he's saying he didn't know it was illegal.

Major letdown for Big Fox.

Hoping Machida just found out he took what Romero did or something, because he self reported it, right? Delusional of me, I'm sure.

Real rich of Dan Henderson to call Machida a POS on twitter, btw. TRT Hendo - you used PEDs for years, the ACs were just okay with it for whatever reason. Nobody calls you out on it because you have been terrible for so long. This wouldn't be swept under the rug like it is if he was as successful as Vitor was on teh juice.

This was one of my most anticipated cards this half of the year and it's still a great free card but damn, it's definitely a let down to lose a fight with title implications and seeing Machida get TKO'd by the USADA.

It's not a classy move by Dan, but I don't see anything wrong with him using TRT while it was legal.

I wasn't really excited about this fight much. The first one wasn't exciting and after Hendo's loss to Cormier I don't really want to see Dan fight again. He's an all time legend but he's been through so many wars and is in his 40s and can't take TRT anymore.

Will Machida receive a suspension?
Personally, I don't think he should if he came clean by his own admission and didn't fight.

Is it true he wrote it on the disclosure form without knowing it was illegal? You never know what is true and what is just his management speaking.

That's what it sounds like, a supplement that was added to the banned list this year.

Holy moly! Dodson over Manny real quick! O_o! Wasn't expecting that!

Tbh, you should have been. No idea why they even put that fight together. Dodson is the 2nd best 125er in the world and doesn't get a top 15 bantamweight?

This isn't a bad card, even after the losses. Not much I care about though, despite that.

I hope Beneil beats Chiesa. Bethe annoys me in general so rooting against her. Hope Glover wins. Would be cool to see the Rocky story in Horcher, but just can't imagine a universe where that happens.

LOL I swear to god I've seen Pennington fight 4 times and I think all four were split decisions either way. I know three were for sure, was her fight against Jessamyn Duke on tuf split? Not 100% on that one.

WOWOWOWOWO HUGE UPSET! Dang! Amazing!

Chiesa has become a very legitimate fighter.

Has submitted Iaquinta, Dariush, and Jim Miller at this point.

REDDzone · Post #17 » by **REDDzone** » Sat Apr 16, 2016 11:49 pm

No idea why Beneil gave up his back like that, also...that was nasty. Not a choke at all, just choked the dude's face off. Pain move.

Chiesa calls for Ferguson which would be a sick fight. Ferguson is past that at this point though I think. Granted Khabib is fighting some random dude on this card, so maybe not. /green font

I'd argue Benavidez.

You know that doesn't diminish my point in any way, right?

Those two need to fight at some point. Either for a 3rd shot at Mouse, or for the belt if Mouse ever decides to vacate it.
