    Cejudo always look good against everyone but mightymouse. it is known.

    the magny / rda fight intrigues me. post-usada rda should get lit up by magny but if rda shows some spine here, its super division relevant.

    also as a fighter i love ferguson but as a guy constantly whining about not being able to get a money fight against nate or conor, watching him lose his mind over having to fade kevin lee because diaz and conor want to fight for a third time instead is fucking hilarious.

    That was quick and uneventful.

    RDS needed that win but I don't think he's got a chance at winning the welterweight belt if he even gets a chance to fight for it.

    the audience sounds like they are one bad round away from tearing apart the cage and gang raping whatever they can get their hands on.

    whats so infuriating is that amanda is scared of something that doesnt exist. shes refusing to engage, why? she's had nothing to lose for 2 fucking rounds and she just stands there pawing at schevchenko's right hand for 30 seconds at a time, while zero chance shes getting knocked out, 100% chance she loses if she doesnt land hard and flush.

    absolute garbage fight.

    The most exciting part was the two seconds after the bell rang in the 5th round when Valentia kicked Amanda and gave her the finger

    she lost rds 2/3/4 and it wasnt close.

    Okay, I give up. What did she say?
    She had to be cautious because she was fighting her third specialist in a row?
    She sprained her vagina in training?

    she got super weirdly into justifying why she had to pull out of the last fight, instead of addressing her fucking pathetic performance tonight.

    like no one needed to hear it, everyone understands how serious a sinus infection is, so why is she waxing poetic about how awful and dangerous it was instead of devoting some air time to how she failed to actually fight until the 21st minute this evening.

    Not like any of us had doubts this would happen the B sample confirms banned substance for Jones.

    http://www.espn.com/mma/story/_/id/2...g-test-ufc-214

    The article says his team is investigating how the steroid got in his system.. lol alright

    What do you think happened with Jones. I guess there is 3 options.

    1. He purposefully was using steroids and knew he would get caught.
    2. He purposefully was using steroids and thought he was doing something to beat the system so he would pee clean.
    3. He really did "accidentally" take steroids.

    All else being equal it seems option 2 is the most plausible. If that is the case what do you think went wrong? How is it that most fighters (who probably are all on something) can figure out how to not get caught but he apparently can't.

    i 100% think jones was a roid cheat, and i more than half suspect that someone on his team fucked him over deliberately, probably because of it.

    I think Chael Sonnen said this, and its an interesting take. He figures that Jones was 100% on the juice, but that even Jones himself didn't think he was ever on TBol. He was just probably getting his shit on the black market, which is likely to be contaminated with any number of other drugs including/instead of the one you think you are actually getting. He wanted X, and got x with some y mixed in, even if only in traces.

    The Netflix doc, Icarus, is an awesome doc about drug testing in sports, WADA, and the incredible story of the guy who ran the RUSADA doping ring. Not MMA, obv, but well worth the time. Starts about a cyclist looking to Lance Armstrong himself with the best available help so he can perform like a monster and still pass a piss test, and goes from there.
