I'd say the two boys'll fight the finale thyen the winner of that takes on dj

No the coaches fight alright announced as co main at TUF finale finale in December.

Winner of TUF gets to Fight DJ, terrible concept really have 2 fighters who failed to beat MM (twice in Joe B's case) coach others to ultimately try do better than they did...mind boggles

some solid matchmaking right there! makes very little sense to me!

ASOT

The kangaroo meat is the worst defense ever. Including dodgy viagra, horsemeat, knee injections.

What ever about a cow getting juiced up my a farmer (ignoring the fact that it was a black market steroid, not a commercially one). Kangaroo are wild animals.

Jesus he must be reaalllllly slacking if that's what he's like when he's juiced

He's an idiot, I said it before but it annoys me even more when they blame everyone else. Have a bit of respect and just come out and say you were wrong and got caught.

Another person caught and no surprise its a brazillian.

Mir was one of the TRT guys too

"TRT was patchwork - it was putting a Band-Aid on the problem. I went to a medical doctor, but I wasn't searching out TRT. I just purely went to the doctor and said, ‘Hey, I don't feel good, I have no energy, I've got no motivation, I'm kind of depressed. I'm constantly - guys are making jokes that I'm the most injured they've ever trained with. Every other day something breaks down on my body. What's going on?' Then they're like, ‘Oh, well this is available.'

"He did the blood work and found low testosterone. Now that they’ve banned it, I look at it and realized that wasn’t really the problem. Improper training and nutrition was the reason; training too hard and excessive twice, three times a day, Monday through Friday. That was what was causing low testosterone. Looking back I realize that was just a symptom of the problem. I was just training improperly."

Mir used to be my favourite heavyweight but liking him less and less everytime he opens his mouth.

Anyway, here's Ilir riding a horse because why not!

I can't see him being around much longer anyway to be honest.

I posted this on the other general chat thread last year:

7 UFC champions dethroned in 2015 alone:

Aldo by McGregor
Velasquez by Werdum
Pettis by dos Anjos
Rousey by Holm
Weidman by Rockhold
Esparza by Jedrzejczyk
Jones by himself

So far this year we've had 3 (Cruz over Dillashaw, Tate over Holm, Miocic over Werdum), most likely 4 when Jones and DC fight again.

How many do you think will change hands over the 2nd half of the year?

martyos121

They better have someone good lined up to replace Joe so, because based on Saturday night, Brian Stann just isn't going to do.

Mauro Ranallo would've been the ideal replacement but he's in WWE now. You'd really take Rogan for granted, there's not really anyone else who can create a big moment in all of fight commentary these days.

Lawler will lose his belt, McGregor will beat himself due to the new weight cutting rules. Rockhold will keep his along with MM & Cruz.

I'd take sonnen and Jim ross they were class on that battlezone 8 man tournament or whatever it was called, and then Stan and Cruz for other shows.

JDS will become champ again possibly by end of year, then rematch against Cain

kumate_champ07

I cant see Lawler fighting much longer, if he wins or loses next and its a real battle he may retire

Depp

Yeah dont think he goes much longer, last few fights have been absolute wars and hes been on the scene for a loong time! had a fantastic career in fairness to him! also dont think i can handle many more robbie lawler promos :D:D

crazy to think hes only been KO'd once considering his fighting style, has to have one of the best chins in the sport!

Would like to see Lawler vs Diaz again, Robbie would have to lose his belt because I don't see Diaz getting another title shot

Swashbuckler

Lawler v Woodley official for ufc 201 in July. I don't fancy Woodleys chances. Hope Lawler holds on to the belt for another rematch with Rory (if he beats Wonderboy).

ASOT

As one gets announced one gets cancelled, Weidman out of 199.

Viva La Jacare.

Zero-Cool

I hope Robbie finishes him quick so he can get back in the mix. There's quite the queue forming for a title shot.

I'd be torn, absolutely love rockhold major man love towards him but seeing Jacare get the belt finally would be class. Jacare Rockhold 2 would be unreal both came on massively!

Bisping throwing his hat in. I'd actually really be happy for Bisping to win the title but don't think he'd have a chance with 2 weeks notice.

Would be delighted with that myself, lot of time for bisping he's one of the legends of the sport.

martyos121

Really hope Bisping gets the shot, he's fallen at the final hurdle to getting a title shot so often and he finally won a big fight when he beat Silva (a poor version of Silva though).

Jacare fully deserves the next shot but I hope they don't pull the fight and that they give it to Bisping.
