Haha they were all absolutely juiced to the gills.

I'd like to think guys like Shogun/Nogueira etc. were clean but . . . .

Will anyone be going to or watching Cage Legacy 1 on the 28th?

In fairness, Newton is squeezing with all his might there :P

Lukker-

Makwan Amirkhani is heading to Dublin. Do people know if he still trains with SBG? He would have been a good person to bring in for Eddie Alvarez fight, he's a handy wrestler.

Cung Le used SBG Charelstown for some filming today. He went to the wrong one first and bumped into JK. Seems like The Pendred set it up.

Thats good enough for me.

Lukker-

I'm looking forward to the fight. Garbrandt absolutely talked his way into the fight but fair play to him, Conor did similar.

I think Cruz is purposefully avoiding a Dillashaw rematch tbh

ricero

Would love to see Cruz rocked and in a proper scrap. Reckon its another UD for him though

Subcomandante Marcos

Id Garbrant catches him clean he's going to sleep, Cody's a tidy little boxer but I think Dom's weird movement will be hard to pin down.

Some crazy stuff here, especially the Russian dude. Never saw that footage of Yvel before either, he should never have been allowed to compete again after that.

Lovely back take and choke from Leon Roberts though!

InstantMMA

Have no idea why but I really like garbrandt when I feel I shouldn't, probably too early for him for a title shot but fair play to him. I just think Cruz will be too much for him, he's a phenomenal fighter.

Zero-Cool

I kinda like Dom, don't really like Cody but for some reason I'd love to see Cody win by devastating KO.

What a caption considering good just popped :pac:

His sup was probably tainted, seems to be how things are going these days.

Not a fighter in this one but a cornerman getting put to sleep by the ref with a nice left hook

Message from Gunni

gunninelson: I want begin with saying im very sorry to all my fans, sponsors, friends and StunGun that im pulling out of this fight in Belfast.
I was so much looking forward to fighting again in Ireland and now its not happening because of a stupid ankle twist that ironacly happend in a UFC open work out!! It happend at 1:08min into the video that was live on facebook for those who want to see it, its still up i think.
Right away i wasnt sure how serious it was so i kept face and rolled a little on but told my training partner Kenny Baker about it during and he knew all about it he said because he felt the massive click when it happend. I was forced to stop within minutes because i relised it was bad.

For a few days i was not able to put any weight on the leg and thought i had to pull out and felt devastated but then within 10 days i got to a state where i could walk normaly without much pain so i thought again that i was gonna fight and felt great. For a few weeks i was doing everything that i could to get better so i would be able to return to proper training again but that next step of being able to bounce, move in and out and grapple just would not happend. I kept doing everything i could wich was mostly rowing, swimming and bits here and there thinking i would get there.
A week ago my trainers told me and i was starting to relise that this was gonna take more time and i could not go into this fight with one ankle and not realy any martial art training at all Again i am so sorry for this but to all who already booked their tickets and travels and all the fans that were looking forward to this fight like I was.
I will be back soon better then ever. Thank you all for all the support and I'm sorry for any inconvenience.

Cruz is just so hard to hit. His movement is incredible. He should be teaching Ido Portal a few things! TJ had his moments obviously but he was struggling to hit him for the full 25 minutes.

Easier said than done but i think the only way to currently have a right go at Cruz is for an elite wrestler willing to walk through his punches to drag him to the ground.

I've got a huge problem with this "tainted supplement defence".

What's to stop Jon Jones going to the GNC in America and buying every supplement he can see. Then testing each and every one until he hits bingo on what he popped for?

Ok, most fighters down the roster wouldn't have the finances to do this.

But his manager said that Jon Jones UFC 200 payday would have amounted to 8 figures or $10 million including PPV points.

When his future income is worth tens of millions, he has every incentive to spend $200,000 testing every supplement possible.

I.e. There's nothing to stop him reverse-engineering a tainted supplement excuse.

I've clearly got sympathy with him if he actually unknowingly took it but his track record (in life) is pretty dubious so he wouldn't be one i'd put complete faith in.
