Lol.
I'm not even a Jones fan. I love watching him fight, but he deserves to never fight again because of his stupidity. Sonnen's story though? Creative but part of me doubts it went down like that.
Yeah, for the sport but even more for Jones himself, I hope he leaves forever. As much as I dislike Cormier, he's a good champ.
How does #2 fix anything? Doesn't it just shift the goal posts? Kevin Lee still tries to fight at 155, whether WW is 165 or 170, right?
While we're on the topic, I would really like to see a 240 lb division and move heavyweight up to 275.

Or just have guys fight at their actual weightThey gotta change this.

My solution is to weigh the fighter periodically during the lead up to the fight. Something like three weeks out, start weighing them 2x a week and say you are a lightweight, you gotta be within 5 lbs of fight weight every time. It will force fighters to be healthier.
These fight cancellations because of weight cuts are ridiculous and somebody is going to die of organ failure.
How would you make a rule for that? Do you mean you just weigh in at fight time?
I heard Rogan talking about it on his podcast but I will need to go back and listen. Basically he believes his idea would reduce last minute drop outs and make fighting more fair for fighters that don't drop weight to make cut
I think [Ferguson] is really good. I think his cardio and pace are fantastic. I believe he makes some mistakes that would really cost him against Conor,. Oh my goodness, do you see how high hes holding his chin up when hes throwing punches. You do that against McGregor, youre getting sniped. Youre getting sniped!
