Didn’t see a thread for next weeks card

Jones vs Gus 2
Cyborg vs Nunes
Condit vs Chiesa

I’m going with a Gus upset!
No juice, long lay off. I think he gets pointed.

Going Cyborg.

Going Condit though he’s a shell. Chiesa too busy trying to get a ridiculous lawsuit together

That's a bold assumption my friend

Gus is so susceptible to kick counters. It's hard to imagine how he's made it as far as he has. I'm not going to predict Jones because I don't want to have any part of me rooting for him. But I could definitely see a head kick landing and ending the fight.

Gus has also taken a loooooot of brutal beatings. Glover may as well have been reverse engineered as an ideal opponent. I don't take too much from that one.

And Jones' narcissism derails another entire card. Either that's true as a residual effect of past behavior or current. Don't think USADA should be trusted in this situation given they drastically shortened his suspension in the first place. So they've shown the tendency to appease their employer by being dishonest before. If they had to cancel the card or lose another main event that would be an even bigger disaster.

I honestly think they just should have delayed the fight for a few months and he could have retested beforehand, or don't consider it a failed test if that was their protocol. But this way is a tremendous inconvenience to the rest of the card's fighters and fans who'd scheduled to attend. Some probably had arrived already, other purchased plane tickets, hotel rooms, and of course the seats they bought. Nunes-Cyborg was a workable main event.

I guess Cali is the go-to commission now for sanctioned events that are suspect. Now I'm sure Dana appreciates they'll do things like provide a home for Chuck-Tito. He wasn't in position to be outraged given the lack of concern for fighters he's shown and now that he's taking advantage of their loose rules.

Wait so he popped for turinabol again? Absolutely unreal. And the UFC is claiming that this is residual from when he popped over a year ago? But they also told us that what he popped for in 2017 was "less than a grain of sand in an Olympic size swimming pool," so how is that possible?

Jones is tied with Vitor/Chael/Barnett for the biggest cheater in the sport's history.

After some similar eff up years back, Dana once said he'd never allow Bones to headline future events. Seemed good judgement.

And per Rogan, that Tbol was in creatine that was mixed in with cocaine. And that tbol-creatine-cocaine is still being metabolized.

Uh huh.

Imagine the zuffa zombie outrage if bellator pulled this after one of their stars popped.

Another thing I didn't think of...Jones has been tested 10 times this year...so he's clean 9 of them and then on the 10th we get residual effects of the "grain of sand in an Olympic swimming pool" amount from 2 years ago. LOL.

Zuffa Zombie: Yeah, well, if he were in Bellator he wouldn't even have popped. Dana only has to do this because he actually has integrity. And everybody juices anyway.

I really think this might be the end of those USADA officials and possibly the program in UFC. They're really killing their and its cred.
