Sorry it's probably me using wrong terminology. Turinabol is supposed to clear the body in a few days though so doesn't need much down time.

A few days?
No it's more like 6 months.

A new test for Turinabol that has only been rolled out in recent years can detect its metabolites in the system for months after use. Many think JJ's team didn't plan for this test. Maybe the above points about dilution of it in his system also played a factor in its detection.

His teammate was caught with the same test almost two years ago. (Frank Mir).
Plus all the coverage in the Olympics with the Russians previously using it.

Whoever was mixing his drinks was surely aware of the new test. It was hardly a secret.

He could do with fighting someone not ranked. He even admitted himself he struggled after taking a shot he said wasn't even hard in the Maia fight so give him someone outside the top 15. Matt Brown level would be good, a name but is also sliding the same way as Condit.

Don't want to see him straight back in with a top 5-8 or put in with some up and comer to make a name off him.

Matt is hanging up the gloves, should be an epic final battle.

Bisping says he and Whittaker were supposed to coach The Ultimate Fighter and fight afterwards with the titles on the line, but that Whittaker pulled out saying he needed more time after the Romero fight.

What I heard it was nothing to do with an injury, but the money wasn't good enough to take Whittaker away from his family and newborn and live in the US for 3 months.

Cool poster, I like how The interim belt fight is the main event over an extrusion title fight. Also the flyweight championship fight :pac:

Well it is the main event and lets be honest people are tuning in to watch lee v ferguson not for dj v borg

Lukker- · 24-09-2017 8:10pm

That PPV will do well to break 150k buys. Still bemuses me how Kevin Lee got a title shot. Right place right time I guess.

I think ufc see money in kevin lee. Young, black, good looking and can talk on the mic.

Also he can fight which is most important. I say the ufc would love lee to win to set up a fight with mcgregor

Yeah they probably see marketing potential in him for sure. I think he's going to be easy work for Ferguson, easy work for anyone in the top 5. Too chinny.

Zero-Cool · 24-09-2017 8:50pm

Yeah I think Ferguson/Lee is ideal for the UFC, no matter who wins, both can cut a promo and will get people interested in the real title fight. Tony is definitely the favourite bit should still be an interesting fight, sure as **** more interesting than DJ Borg.

Useful.Idiot · 25-09-2017 9:39am

Tony looks a lot like Kazuya Mishima in that poster.

Duffy vs vick confirmed for ufc 217

Why did no one care when McGregor v Mendes headlined over Lawlor v McDonald's 170 title fight?

The "weasel" helwani stirring trouble again i see

Beersmith · 25-09-2017 9:25pm

I really don't think it matters at all

ricero · 28-09-2017 7:11am

Some cracking fights announced during the night.

Ngannou vs Overeem at ufc 218 and dom cruz vs jimmy riveria at ufc 219.

Props to cruz taking a fight. He easily could of waited on the winner of no love vs tj. Great to see that attitude from a modern day fighter

dashoonage · 28-09-2017 7:16am

Some really great cards coming up to end the year, still one main card slot at 217 as well.

Cejudo vs Pettis, Edgar v Holloway, Gaethje v Alvarez all targeted for 218 too. Serious night of violence if all of those get booked and make it to the night. Surely the MMA gods won't let this happen though.

Need to watch this with audio, but is it as bad as it looks without audio?

Fromvert · 29-09-2017 1:33am

Maybe I didn't notice it before but Werdum has become more and more unlikable as the years pass.

Hope Lewis can pull off the upset and KO him.

Subcomandante Marcos · 29-09-2017 3:35am

Just listened to that with headphones on, Werdum is a tool. Basically throw as many homophobic slurs and trying to be a big man as you can into 5 sentences and you get what he was saying before he was moved off.

Ferguson showed pretty good patience, he clearly understood 99% of what was being said because he's a fluent spanish speaker and Werdum was actually using Spanish slurs, not Portuguese, so fair play to TF for ignoring it and laughing it off. Werdum is spending too much time with homo-repressed dictators.

I literally hadn't a clue what he was saying. Care to roughly translate?
