Why are those guys in bellator

I'd guess money. The Reebok deal screwed the fighters out of endorsements.

Someone correct me if I am wrong, but I believe that is what is holding back a GSP return.

That's the one thing that is good about the Reebok deal.

That and E.T.

Glad Barboza was able to get the win. I've always enjoyed watching him, but he hasn't been able to put it all together. I still think guys like Khabib and Alvarez will give him trouble, but this is easily the biggest win of his career.

Looks like Conor will be back on 200.

I haven't seen anything from UFC yet, only CM

So sick of this story.

Same. Dana seemed adamant about Conor not being on the card. Yes it sucks, but let's just move on without the drama. If Jones vs. Cormier II can happen at 200, then it will still be a huge night. Conor can learn his lesson and move on.

I think it was about to happen, but Saturday Jones realized he isn't ready.

Has Jones said something to indicate he wouldn't do it?

Not that I know of. I was feeling like after the OSP fight he might call out DC for 200, but not after that performance. I doubt JJ will even comment on it at this point. It's only 2 months away and Jones hurt his foot kicking OSP's arm.

Yeah I jumped ye him a little. I may be in te minority, but I would love to see Robbie step in. I love watching him fight. Lawler against Diaz could be a lot of fun.

That would be so badass.

Dana told the LA Times that Conor isn't on it.

IDK but UFC needs to get Koreshkov ASAP. Did you watch the fights?

No. For some reason spike TV is a pay to get channel. Which I don't understand, I have cable and the sports package.

 

[Ethan Hooper]

I think people are severely underestimating Jones after Saturday. He'd been out of action for fifteen months and had just a few weeks to get prepared for someone who is a completely different fighter than who he was training for. I don't see DC keeping the belt.

 

[Escape Goat]

**** Jones

 

[Ethan Hooper]

**** Jones

Be that as it may, it doesn't change anything.

Is D Johnson the best pound for pound by a mile, or is his division incredibly weak? A little bit of both?

I think the division is weak, but there's no denying his talent or what he's accomplished. I wish he would move up for a rematch with Cruz, but he doesn't seem interested at the moment.

White says Conor has to defend title against the Aldo/Edgar winner.

 

[n_huffhines]

Bones vs DC is happening at 200. Crazy. I was just reading rumors about jones getting a 6 month med suspension for the foot. Guess not
