That doesn't surprise me, I can't remember which event it was exactly but they only put the page up a couple of days before hand. Will keep an eye on it though, hopefully if anyone on boards gets information on it we can share it

He'll do 6 months once he returns but thats no ban because when he signs, gets a fight announced, trains etc it'll be more than 6 months anyway.

They're obviously waiting to hear whats going to happen with Jones.

I'm ok with watching Jones and brock throw down in an untested fight.

Heard it on a few grapevines now that they’re looking at Brock vs Ngannou.

Nothing official of course yet but it was mentioned on a few MMA podcasts that I listen to.

I’d much rather see that fight than Jones/Lesnar.

Subcomandante Marcos

Brock vs Ngannou = Brock dry humping Francis for 25 minutes.

He's in his own corner....He's on that level now. He's going to hold a conversation with himself between rounds

Hes brought in the corner team Tyson used for the Douglas fight. Equipped with surgical gloves filled with room temperature water.

Bellator 200 is in London 2 days earlier. I'm hatching a plan...

If I can get a Liverpool ticket I'm going to both as well. If not Bellator looks pretty good

Brock is wrestling this Sunday so his contract won't be up until after that. Plus if he has a no compete after he's finished. Its smart of Dana not to tip his hat too fast.

I remember getting so excited after watching this I said this guy is gonna beat Aldo. Then I calmed myself down and realised how stupid that sounded. Been a mad 5 years.

"his stance is too wide aldo will eat that front leg up" was the common consensus great times

Crazy ride indeed, the brightest flame burns quickest I guess!

That actually makes me kinda sad. Obviously he's achieved more than any of us could ever dream of, but a lot of the time since he beat Aldo has felt a bit pointless.

A loss to Diaz, won a rematch where only pride was at stake, dominating Alvarez to become champ champ, a loss to Mayweather in the biggest sporting circus of all time. Pity he never defended against a Khabib or Ferguson. If only RDA didn't get injured none of this would have happened :pac:

This is the darkest timeline.

Did anyone watch the ufc 25 presser just now? The usual mildly entertaining stuff but TJ vs Cody got fairly violent in their crap talk... But then the presser finished and they left the camera on the stage and the two lads embraced like best pals. Embarrassing

Yeah was done good talk and then hugs and kisses. Stipe stole it though. Wonderboy posing for a camera at the end and Stipe made him smell his finger :pac:

DC creaming himself at the thought of getting paid being on a Brock card was embarrassing. He should have used the opportunity to show he's I've of the best in the world but that was a beta move.

I think he was just being honest and trying to be a bit funny. I've all the time in the world for DC. He seems like such a nice, genuine guy, the antithesis of Jon Jones.

I don't think it's booked, as in no announcement of when or where, but yeah I saw Dana saying to some journalists outside his hotel the other day that it would be Jackson when one of them asked him.

I'd imagine it will be on the Fox section of the undercard for the Stipe vs DC card.
