It's mental stuff. There are companies making massive money and banks won't touch it so they have to hire private security and keep it on side in vaults. It makes no sense, the state and federal government will take tax on all of it, but the federal government can, at any minute, raid you, take everything and throw you in jail.

I can understand the banks not touching it. According to bank robbery movies - banks are protected by the federal reserve, so under federal jurisdiction. So weed money would be proceeds of crime.

The raid though, what a screw job

Well he can't juice as much anymore so I might believe him this time if he gets whopped.

hes going to love bellator

Lukker-

I think Vitor is actually done, he's taken a huge amount of damage recently. He's also got an MBA in Business, so he should have prospects outside of fighting

I wish they’d pull the finger out and get a fight announced for Darren Till. The Cerrone fight was back in October and people were buzzing over that performance, they should strike while the iron is hot. He seems to be raring to go aswell

russia booked for september. 35k stadium.

khabib has to headline

Yeah I'd say if McGregor hasn't fought by then or on that night they will have stripped the title

Finally Artem gets his homecoming, this could be a breakout moment for him similar to McGregor @ UFC Dublin 2014

Enjoyed Woodley's turn on the latest JRE MMA Show. He does come back to the whole being disrespected shlock a bit too much (even if it is partly true) but overall he comes across very well in it.

In fairness 2-4 is probably the best run of results in his career.

Conor v Tony in Vegas, July, UFC 226
Winner v Khabib (possibly in Russia), September, UFC 228

You can take that to the credit union.

Zero-Cool

Artem has serious motivation now, big win in London gets him on the Russia card. I can't see how he doesn't get cut with a loss. Well i can see it but you know.

Whittaker out of 221 in Perth. Romero steps in to fight Rockhold for the Interim. I'm surprised Romero is getting the chance considering his last fight was for the interim belt which he lost.

Zero-Cool

Sucks for Whittaker, wonder what the 'undisclosed injury' was. Let's go Yoel, I Sheeee You Shoooon......Luuuuuuke.

Ultimate Seduction

Another interim for **** sake.

Romero v rockhold interests me more than rockhold v bobby knuckles

Mellor

This probably means Whitaker misses the Commonwealth games too. Gutted for him.

I would expect Ferguson v Khabib April in Brooklyn, McGregor v winner - September in Russia if Khabib, August in Vegas if Ferguson.

Really? How come? Considering Whittaker just beat Romero?

UFC really should have held onto Mousasi ffs.

McGregor is not going to sit out till September lads ye come out with some ****. He had a fight booked and it'll be announced soon

Interim belts don't annoy me at all really. In reality we all know who best in a division is if the match ups are made correctly, which they are the vast majority of the time.

Very disappointed for Whittaker as this was a big opportunity. Happy for Romero though as he probably only has a couple of more fights and he's proven himself to be good enough to be fighting the best consistently. It's an interesting match up, hard to know who will have the striking advantage and both of them are beasts when it comes to grappling.

Where's the logic/evidence for this?
