I just can't bet against Jones, even if he looked like dog poop in his last fight (although I have to say, I don't think St. Preux fought that bad, either. He put on a valiant performance).

He is such a bad matchup for most people in the division, especially a guy like DC whose striking, while improved, is no where near the level of a Gustaffson or a Rumble.

I don't see DC knocking Jones out on the feet......nor winning a decision as Jones can play the "point game" (hence why his style tilts Chuck Liddell).....he'll have to submit him or ground and pound the shit out of him.

I like Jones in a relatively boring 5 round decision.

[shortbuspoker]

will always be a Cormier fan just because he doesn't give a fuck

[sonatine]

Yeah Im not putting shit on DC here. 30% of DC's line has evaporated and even before that happened, it wasnt exploitable in math terms. Jones losing would be reward enough but Rumble has Jones' number, not DC.

So far leaning: Jones in a 5 round decision, Cain ML, and the Over in the Dillashaw/Assuncao fight.

before fightweek really gets going, here's some old vcr-quality Nick Diaz in a bareknuckle vale tudo fight in a gym somewhere.



best part possibly at 2:36, where you hear "Smack him, Nick," immediately followed by Nick smacking him.

Mark Hunt currently @ -169. I could be wrong but I think last minute fan money on Brock gives him an even better line than it is now. I think he knocks Brock the fuck out and pretty quickly.

Frankie Edgar currently @ -115. Despite being huge talent, he has been running awful with this opportunities. I dont think he lets this one go to waste.

Kelvin Gastelum currently @ +100. Hendricks is a broken man and he will lose again.


I wont be making any bets until after weight ins.

[sonatine]

i do like edgar here simply because this is post roids aldo, dealing with a loss, advancing age, and new weight cutting rules. edgar has been looking fucking fantastic for a long time and keeps looking better. aldo, not so much.


cock chestnar is getting the nap of his life, in any case.


honestly this whole weekend should be called "Night of the final paychecks", because i see a lot of people showing up to money truck their way out the door and into the sunset.

I cant wait for this. Gonna be 8 hours of fights and I get to see Sage upclose in all his muscle jock glory





Even though he looks like he is wearing a cup, you can kinda see the head

Jon Jones out of ufc 200

Edit: USADA pulled him due to possible anti doping violation

[simpdog]

https://www.ufc.tv/video/ufc-press-conference

Live press conf Dana now, Jones to speak soon

Edit: maybe just Cormier to speak, unsure.

[sonatine]

what the fuck...? stream says its over.

[simpdog]

what the fuck...? stream says its over.

Dana said "We'll be back in a few minutes"

Then they put up a promo for ufc 200 which had Jones in it, then likely someone said oh shit better pull it.

I hope they're taking a while with Cormier and/or Jones and we're not missing it.

[sonatine]

lol i am in fucking heaven right now, even tho i had $200 on a draw at +18500 which was a total fucking lock with Big John looking for excuses to dock Jones points.

The UFC organization was notified tonight that the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) has informed Jon Jones of a potential Anti-Doping Policy violation stemming from an out-of-competition sample collection on June 16, 2016.

USADA, the independent administrator of the UFC Anti-Doping Policy, will handle the results management and appropriate adjudication of this case. It is important to note that, under the UFC Anti-Doping Policy, there is a full fair legal review process that is afforded to all athletes before any sanctions are imposed.

However, because Jones was scheduled to compete against Daniel Cormier this coming Saturday, July 9 in Las Vegas, there is insufficient time for a full review before the scheduled bout and therefore the fight has been removed from the fight card. As a result, the three-round heavyweight bout between Brock Lesnar and Mark Hunt will become the UFC 200 main event.

Consistent with all previous potential anti-doping violations, additional information or UFC statements will be provided at the appropriate time as the process moves forward.

Ticket refunds available upon request at primary point of purchase.

Sweet main event rofl.

we're back on...refresh if necessary.

[BeerAndPoker]
