Is it just me that's noticed that there's been a few people failing tests for clomiphene ?

If people are cycling steroids while they are out of camp when they get tested less, it makes sense that they are popping for that when they start camp because they will take something to help alleviate the post cycle Testosterone dip

Barboza is reporting that he accepted a fight with Khabib at UFC 219. I'd imagine Khabib is waiting to see if Conor is going to fight Tony first. What a matchup that would be.

If it's Vegas then he absolutely will be.

It seems Cerrone has a fight already lined up for 219. He wants to fill his 4 fights a year quota! Only Usman, Oliveira & Stun Gun have no fights lined up from the top 15.

Is Gunnar Nelson not ranked anymore? Even if he's not I'd like to see him v Cerrone.

That would be a great scrap but Gunnar said he is taking the rest of the year off after the knock out to let his head clear.

Yes he is I missed him somehow! That would be a very interesting matchup for both.

Seems a bit presumptuous. Say Till knocks him out (big if but...), he's just going to get back into camp and go again?. He's a savage and I admire how game he is but I'm not sure I like it.

I'd say that's why it's not confirmed. If Cowboy comes out relatively fine, he fights at 219. If not, then he doesn't fight at 219. His fight with Till is on this weekend so not like it's long to wait for the fight to be announced.

kwestfan08 · 18-10-2017 11:35am

Makes sense alright. Decent enough card that in Gdansk for a fight pass card.

Autecher · 18-10-2017 11:55am

Cerrone is mad like that. After his hard fought fight against Matt Brown in December he campaigned to fight again 7 weeks later! That's why he looked so bad against Masvidal. And yes it's looking like another fun Fight Night card and it will be over by 10 so no staying up all night!

I think the war with Brown definitely had an effect but Cerrone never seems to turn up in the big fights when the pressure is on. He can go on a mad tear KO'ing lads on undercards but when it matters he just seems to crumble.

The RDA fight being a prime example of that. The Mastvidal one he was the home town hero and just never got going. I think a sports psychologist could work wonders for him because he has all the ablity in the world just the mental side lets him down.

Autecher · 18-10-2017 3:57pm

That's a very good point though he would probably never go see one. Also if he relaxed on his extreme sport hobbies so close to fights that would help too.

Gamebred · 18-10-2017 3:59pm

Cowboy is gonna double leg Till all night I reckon as a surprise, Till is expecting a muay thai fight I reckon.

I'd never be like Cowboy to not bring it and throw down, at least for the first while. Though him winning by submission id say is the call.

ricero · 18-10-2017 8:50pm

Would love till to ko cowboy stiff. Cowboy talking awful scutter all week, very arrogant stuff from a journeyman fighter who has never won a belt

Subcomandante Marcos · 18-10-2017 8:53pm

Just saw that Michael Page is fighting in that new David Haye fight night on Dave this weekend. Bit random. Company who own Bellator also own spike and have a stake in Dave so I guess they're involved in the boxing with Haye now as well.

I’m not a fan of Cowboy at all. In fact I rarely if ever would be rooting for him to get the win.

But to call him a journeyman is laughable. He’s been in with and also beaten some quality opposition in the UFC and WEC. His record speaks for itself.

It’s highly unlikely he will ever win a title in the UFC but the same goes for 99% of the roster.

Perhaps journeyman is too harsh but after watching this i would love to see Till spark cowboy cold

There might be a psychology element to it. But let's not overlook the fact he's KOing bums on undercards and "crumbling" against the top fighters in the division. A large part of his inability to get going is that he is getting out worked.

dulux99 · 19-10-2017 9:30am

I was quite looking forward to UFC Gdansk, as I had assumed Fili vs Lobov was on the main card. Turns out its buried on the undercard on fightpass. I would have thought the main card would be Cerrone v Till, Karolina vs her opponent, and Lobov v Fili. Shame.

He's lucky to even be buried on the prelims, should be fighting in a gaa halls. Lobov is definition of a journey man

Ah I know. But Lobov definitely has the Irish interest. Fili vs Lobov actually has the makings of a good scrap, too. I’m certainly more interested in Lobov vs Fili than I am in Piechota vs Jonathan Wilson, whoever the hell they are

I wouldn't even go as far to call him a journeyman, he's unranked. He's been getting the highest fights he's been getting thanks to a combination of being Conor's bud and his sharp tongue. Fair play to him though, he's playing the system beautifully and puts on entertaining scraps.

dulux99 · 19-10-2017 10:06am

I’m not exactly a Lobov fanatic but I think you’s are being slightly harsh on him. He’s just after coming off a surprisingly exciting scrap with one of the top dogs in the division and is 2-3 overall in the UFC, albeit against poor competition I know. Plus he went 3-0 on TUF with 3 KO’s. There are worse fighters in the UFC than him. Which isn’t exactly glowing praise I know!

Mellor · 19-10-2017 10:20am

Lobov proved he deserves to be in the UFC with the Cub fight. He's not ranked, and never will be, but he deserved to be there. The majority of UFC fighters aren't ranked.
The talk of GAA halls is hyperbole stuff

Lads/Ladies is the Gdansk card only on Fight pass?

The prelims are on Fight Pass but the main card of the Fight Pass exclusive card is only on BT sports in Ireland. Makes total sense of course....
