im not looking to argue it because im not like, emotionally invested, but i see in Gathje a guy whose chin is going to go soon who doesnt take care of himself in the ring by utilizing his wrestling.
im just putting it out there.

Off Topic, this is so weird that you brought him up. I took my kids out to lunch, yesterday, at some cool place up in McHenry, IL called Epic Deli. There was a signed letter from Bas Rutten (and a caricature of him as well) on the wall, along with some signed photos of Clay Guida. I think he and Jeff Curran train up there a lot.Quote:

he's talked about that at length himself, since his early champ days in the wsof. everyone knows how its gonna end, and he made peace with it a long time ago. might be 2 more fights, might be 10 more. he even said last week i think that 5 is the most likely number.Quote:

What a bizarre ending between Simon vs. Dvalishvili.
I didn't catch the undercard but the main card is solid. I like this fight between Sterling & Johns.Quote:

First for me
Nice main event for UFC 224. Nunes is a smooth 5 to 1 favorite. LOL
Who in the hell is buying this shit? The random Fight Night is way better than the last how many PPV cards? WTFFFFFFFFFFF
I read the last UFC had 900k buys. That's about 2000 per state - seems like a lot but WTF do I knowQuote:

It was an entertaining 45 seconds tho you have to admit that which is kind of what you want out of two heavyweights at these guys age.Quote:

Chael is going to sleep. Stoked.
That's how I see it going down as well. The washed up version or Fedor has a speed advantage on the washed up version of Sonnen. Sonnen got by Rampage just because he's a fat pile now.Quote:

i thought fedor had poor balance in there and despite converting to that hip toss, i thought mir was well on his way to executing the same plan chael pitched; keeping fedor moving backwards and crowding him on the cage. thats chaels bread and butter and its fedor's kryptonite.
needless to say id love to be wrong.
interesting thing about UFC 225, but last night's Bellator was in Illinois also, so this would apply to them too. They probably didn't get the same types of warnings, unfortunately. I wonder how many fighters will get hit for this zero tolerance of cannabis? I'll guess 2 combined from the 2 events. We'll find out in a few weeks.
UFC 225 fighters warned about zero-tolerance policy for marijuana in Illinois
https://www.bloodyelbow.com/2018/4/2...inois-mma-news
...
Despite WADA (and thus USADA) rules that allow fighters to have 150 ng/ml of marijuana in their system while in competition, the state of Illinois (along with Texas, and others) have a zero-tolerance policy towards it.
That means that testing for even a trace about of marijuana metabolites will get you in trouble there.
Recently, MMA Weekly posted an article stating that the UFC has sent a letter to fighters participating on the card warning them about this. Here’s an exerpt:
“Because of Illinois’ no tolerance policy for marijuana, we recommend that marijuana use be discontinued for anyone participating on the UFC 225 card between now and the event.”
...
lots of decent stoppages tonight.
Machida almost killed Belfort who retired after the KO.
That front kick was luls, idk wtf vitor was trying to doQuote:
