    It's all about the ppv points with that boy.. Vinny mc taught him well

    PPV points is estimated between 5-7.5 million, I'll gladly lose the purse rather than the points!

    If Silva never fcuked around verses Bisping, he'd probably have stepped in verses Rockhold instead of Cornier and be MW champ again.
    Just occurred to me

    To be fair though, he didn't **** around really. It was a great fight and he was just beaten fair and square over 5 rounds. I also think Rockhold beats him. Silva has been a shadow of his former self and hasn't won a fight (without being popped) since 2012. He's finished.

    Finished in comparison of what he was,there is plenty of big fights in him he arguably beat the mw champ a few months ago.

    Disagree here. I don't know how anyone could score that fight in favour of Silva and Dean was correct not to stop the fight at the end of the 3rd. Bisping clearly won 3 rounds.

    It wasnt a one sided beat down,no problem with anyone giving Bisping the fight but the facts are he was on queer street.

    If disagree there. Weidman had him in trouble with a heelhook early. Silva was always losing that one imo.

    Bisping won fair and square, but Silva showed zero fight IQ. He was like he wasn't even trying to finish at times. Maybe he never really knew how scoring works and got away with it for years.

    Forgive me if I'm wrong but didn't He connect a few times after the buzzer too?? I know bisping was on rubber legs but a few illegal shots will do that

    Definitely wasn't, I agree there. However, there were no close rounds IMO. Bisping clearly won 1, 2 and 4. Silva clearly won 3 and 5.

    I'm of the opinion Silva doesn't really care about winning fights anymore. The way him and his corner celebrated after Cormier clearly won three rounds was odd as f**k.

    Maybe, maybe not. We've seen Silva be controlled for 4 & 1/2 rounds and still pull out the win in the past(Sonnen 1)

    UFC 202 looks like it won't be available for purchase from UFC website. At the moment it says "Broadcast restrictions in your area" (link below - scroll down the list to get to 202)

    201 can be bought on the website but not 202 apparently. Hard to know for certain but looks like the online option might be taken away when the new TV rights contract kicks in from August

    She failed a USADA test at worlds. Stripped of her title. It was for the same drug as Jones popped for (speculation).
    She got a pass of sorts as its not a PED in women but a lot of people weren't convinced. *shrugs*

    Clomiphene, literally has no benefit for women but helps to promote fertility and can help to regulate the menstrual cycle.

    It was an anti-estrogen drug (hence my speculation it was the same as Jones' pop) and the actual on label usage is for female fertility. Steroid users use to it offset side effects. It's was claimed that it's not a PED for women, so she was stripped for the failure but not banned.

    Women and steroids is a huge grey area though. I remember reading about some russain shot putter who was on (given ;)) the same crazy cycles are the men and after the Olympics had to have a sex change. They are probably much more knowledgeable these days.

    Mod Note: As per the charter..

    8) No allegations against fighters, particularly in regard to steroid use. If you want to accuse them make sure you have a bulletproof source or you will be banned, discussing Steroid use at all is not allowed unless it's about someone who was banned for it and it is not just specualtion (this includes steroid advice re. doses, side effects, cycles, substances/steroids-stimulants and sources).

    You continue to over step the mark and push things on here ignoring the warnings so take 2 weeks off.

    EIR sports said on twitter that they have the right to show 202. They only show BTSports so I m guessing that means they won the contract not sky sports. Also If you look on UFC website it says BTSports 2 are showing 201 & 202.


    I would feel better if they just came out and said who has it. I can decide who to sign up with.
