Jon Jones is a scumbag.

I'm hyped AF for this card. It should be straight fire from top to bottom.

[Stunseed]

Isn't Edgar v Aldo for an interim belt?

I'd love to see Connor take up Eddie Alvarez's offer after he beat RDA last night instead of defending a belt he doesn't care about.

A Dillashaw win almost has to guarantee a rematch of that belt, too.

Lots of crazy shit can happen from the results of this card.

It is indeed.

Still sad we never got to see Brock Lesnar fight Fedor Emelianenko.

This might still happen. Fedor wants a UFC contract, and Dana White is still interested (albeit at a vastly discount rate). It will all depend on Brock. If he wins this weekend...who knows.

BTW - Jon Jones is a scumbag. You gotta feel sorry for DC man. His reaction in this video really tells the tale.

yeah yeah, Dana White has been saying he's interested for years now. I'll believe it when it happens.

[zennsunni]

I thought Mcgregor was scheduled to lose go my boy Diaz again? I don't have time to follow UFC as much as I'd like, can someone fill me in on what's up with that?

Some guy beat up some other guy to beat up this other dude, all the while dressed like Olympic swimmers.

[Stunseed]

That rematch is for UFC 202. Dana White has stated after that if he doesn't defend his belt against Aldo-Edgar winner, it'll be vacated.

Fun night of fights. Lesnar and Velasquez in particular looked quite strong.

Fedor's been out of gas for a while. I'll be surprised if we don't see Brock back in the octagon after the win.

Cain hosed me. Had him winning in the second, but he managed to put an end to it with like five seconds left in the first.

[Malisai]

Cain with them spinning kicks....what....what?!?!!?

Good stuff.

[Fallen]

Cain looked scary good. Here's hoping he can stay healthy and go back to dominating.

[SHAFT]

This is quite the shocker! He didn't look extremely jacked up for his age or anything. I thought there was a possibility he was doping while in the wwe the past few years, as its second nature in that business:

Yea, Mark Hunt is now requesting half of Brock's purse take in compensation or he wants to be released by the UFC.

Depending on what Brock pops hot for, he deserves it.

[subzero]

Seems kinda odd to get popped on one test after passing several from days/weeks prior to this 'potential violation'. He was tested something like eight times in the month or so they had to work with.

Would you step into the ring with him.

[Wesley]

Would you step into the ring with him.

I would. It's the internet. I AM HUGE AND BUFF AND DO YOU EVEN LIFT BRO?! I COULD PANCAKE YOUR FACE WITH MY FACE AND YOUR FACE WOULD BE A DELICIOUS BREAKFAST BECAUSE YOUR BIG UGLY FACE IS AS DUMB AS A BUTT.

Edit to add:

Also I am a triple black belt in karate and I am so high a belt in brazillian jiu jitsu that there isn't even a color invented for it yet because it's so beautiful you would fall to your knees and cry.

Edit again to add:

Also, in a rare, double whammy decision, I will also now speculate on Brock Lesnar's banned substance:

That stuff ruins lives.

[subzero]

Would you step into the ring with him.

If the money was right, sure. But, since I'm not a professional fighter and it wouldn't be, no. Not to mention I wouldn't exactly be fighting in his division if I were.

None of that changes the fact that he's sputtering toward the finish line of his career.

I'd step into the ring with Brock Lesnar for 500k+. Whats the worst that could happen? Bloodied face, get slammed a few times, maybe get knocked out? As long as the ref is competent.

You better go look at payouts for these fighters again if you think you'll pull 500k. Most of them get like 10-50k. We would likely fall in the 5-8k range if we were lucky.
