Dana pulled the GSP/Woodley fight off the table after last night's snooze fest. Bisping will fight GSP, which I'm OK with because Whittaker's knee needs time to recover.

“What’d you think about watching the Woodley fight? Listen, when you break a record for the least punches in a five-round fight, a title fight, and you beat it by, it was 130 and these guys threw 60 or something like that, then I think that sums it up.”

This is what a concussion can do to an otherwise cool guy

The UFC should be ashamed and embarrassed by this. D.C. Has no idea where he is, he is barely standing, and they won't let his corner in there with him. Dana is fussing at him, security is fussing st him, John MacArthy and Jon Jones are mocking him and talking crap. Dude was in bad shape and it is an embarrassment that he was treated this way. And then for Rogan to interview him in that condition. I'd be ticked if I was D.C., his family, his corner, his agent, whoever, that was a travesty.

@JonnyBones congrats Champ. Stop asking for retired fighters, I've been waiting to put my hands on you and so have all the fans.


I messed that up, but that's AG's tweet.

What did they say?

Guys get KO'd at every event and don't act like this. I think you are judging everybody a little harshly. It caught them all off guard.

Yeah I'm not sure which part he was reeferencing. I was actually surprised at the classy/respectful things Jon said in his octagon interview, considering all of the bad blood between these two.

Last week Jon Jones said that no matter what outcome, he was going to congratulate Daniel Cormier. He said he regrets giving him the X Pac "suck it" last time and that he's grown up.

Watch Big John and Jon talking to each other while Bruce is gettin ready to make the announcements. They're mad that's D.C. Won't come over there and stand and they're eye rolling and everything else. Nothing to do with what Jon said after which was surprisingly classy

D.C. Could not stand up long after. He was way off and that was clear. It's also clear Rogan felt very bad about interviewing him because of that and he made it clear in his comments following the interview. D.C. Was messed up man. He was in a bad way and the UFC screwed that uo

Interesting. I interpreted the part you were talking about as them being frustrated with the delay in Dana bringing the belt up to put around JJ's waist. I'll need to re-watch it...

I saw it differently. Someone had just walked D.C. Over cause he could barely stand and he jerked his arm away from big John. Guy was not in his right mind, didn't know where he was, and still apologized to Big John in his instagram for his behavior. More respect needs to be shown to a guy who just got knocked out in brutal fashion. That was the worst KO I've seen in a while. He was in bad shape king after he woke up

It was a good KO but I don't think there was anything especially vicious about it. I just rewatched the part you are talking about and McCarthy said something (who knows what) with a half smile and Jones essentially shrugged his shoulders and looked around questioningly about what was going on, and for good reason. There was no mockery. There was no eye-rolling.

It looked like it was more of Jon looking puzzled as to why DC walked away right before Buffer started. Big John then motioned to Jon as if to say "Don't worry about him". I think Big John handled everything perfectly. Jon probably thought DC was mad and refusing to stand there while getting the belt. In reality it seems DC was just still confused about how the fight ended, and was frustrated with not understanding what happened or not getting a clear answer from those around.

No idea what Dana was saying. He definitely looked like he was fussing at DC, but it's hard to know the context without hearing DC. With DC still out on his feet, maybe Dana thought DC was acting out and telling him to calm down.

Only bad thing done to DC was the interview. Rogan did it, because he has been told to do them (Dana then lies at the presser afterwards and says Rogan was told not to). I never understand why someone who just received brain trauma is being asked questions about what happened. Makes zero sense.

For all we know, Dana was being a friend and yelling, "Trust me. Get your ass up there. You'll thank me later."

In terms of the business, Dana probably has more to gain if DC shows bad sportsmanship.

Still, the whole thing looked bad for a guy who was not in his right mind. He was completely out of it, had no clue where he was, couldn't stand up, and the camera lingers on him and people are yelling at him, they won't let his corner in there and then he's interviewed. At least Rogan had the compassion to apologize

If Jones doesn't fight AG next I hope Brock breaks his face, literally.

It's the big money fight. Of course he wants that over fighting a guy he already faced.

Rumble apparently wants a piece. I'll be happy if Bones fights all 3, I don't care about the order.

I haven't caught the Lawlor-Cerrone replay yet. Do u all think the decision was the right one? From what I've heard it could have gone either way.
