    Funny how Jon fails these drug tests when he is dehydrated while cutting, but passes them once he has rehydrated
    When your dehydrated your urine is concentrated. Which the levels of substance per ml increases. The levels in urine tests aren't reliable.

    Fighters often increase results post fight. I'd guess that's down to dehydration.

    Nah don't think so. He wasn't cutting when he failed 3 last year. Just thought its funny, BREAKING NEWS: Jones passed a test. I will be very suspicious if those pictograms don't show up again though. There for 2 years then suddenly vanish. Novitski said they will "pulse for up to 7 years" ..

    I don't think he was cutting when he failed in December either.

    Fight night was 29th and I think he failed a test around the 8, 9, or 10th.

    Brad Pickett is taking a bare Knuckle fight. Genuinely sad to see. Some of these guys really have nothing lined up for their post-MMA career.

    Just booked Vegas for my 40th birthday.

    First time going when there isn't a fight on. Although there's a Fight Night scheduled for May 18th with no venue yet. Vegas or the surrounding area would be nice!

    He was in Belfast last night, he moves quickly for a big lad!

    He was over in the Scottish highlands last week, if I remember right from his book his wife has Scottish ancestors and they visited there before on their honeymoon, this time they have the kids with them.

    I was no more than 500 metres away when he took the photo outside Belfast city hall but I missed him, asked him to go for a pint with us on twitter but I really shoulda scoped out the nearby KFC's and Nando's...

    Somebody told me recently that he wife (or her family) was from Cork. I haven't read the book, snd might not be true, but would explain why he's in Cork.

    he'll probably outpoint pettis but I don't see him getting a finish myself

    could even see pettis nicking a round or two

    I know MMA maths is a questionable science, but it's crazy to think a guy that finished the middleweight champion is fighting a guy that was finished by the featherweight champion.

    Everything Pettis does well, Thomson does better whilst being bigger faster and stronger. No interest in this fight.

    He's come on leaps and bounds since that Usman loss, it'll be a cracking fight.

    Looking forward to seeing his brother in Bellator also.

    Oh yes!

    great match up and a great test for till given he'll have to go five if he even beats masvidal, huge step up the ladder for jorge if he can pull it off and I hope he does myself

    Fantastic. Delighted with that. I deserve a good event in London having has to suffer through a card main evented by Manuwa vs Cory Anderson.

    Tickets will be wolfed up for this one. Will have to be on the ball.

    Anyone else confirmed going?

    Really good main and co-main for London.

    After all the rubbish events I’ve spent a fortune on over the years, of course I can’t make it to this one :rolleyes:

    It's on the Philadelphia card on March 30th, it's been agreed so there should be an official announcement very soon. I think the fight will go something like this.
