The first three samples were taken on previous dates starting from early December.

Mannnnnnnnn

When the failed test posted, everyone was screaming that CIR testing was needed.
Now Nevada who hasn't previously been using the testing, want us to buy that they ran the test "recently"

I'd have to actually see the paperwork and dates to believe. I am super skeptical, maybe I'm wrong but they got to SHOW me

Despite what the NSAC says I agree with your overall sentiment. They need to start making test results public. Can't be hosting PPVs featuring dopers and not letting the audience known until after the fact.
 
Go to Conte's twitter right now fams, he's updating on the sitution. Dont know how to quote tweets from phone.

But to paraphrase what he's saying. He believes the CIR testing on Jones samples are accurate HOWEVER he could have used far enough out from testing that his samples would be appear clean BUT his ratios would still be off.


Therefore unless year around testing is done there is no way to accurately assess if a fighter is on PEDs. As it stands there is no legitimate reason as to why Jones T/E ratios are below the normal range other than he was doping (and I'm not talking cocaine either).


Not saying Jones is a cheater but he damn sure looks like one regardless of the CIR results.
 
Looks like he was cycling peds and got caught. One of the reasons brian Stann retired because too many fighters are cycling peds and their isn't year around testing due to costs and the ufc won't cover it.

thats crazy lol ive never seen anyone or even him other than this pic drink coke to start hydration from the weight cut. wouldn't it be detrimental??? was it a subliminal jab ?

Yep, damn right it was subliminal. One thing Chael is not is a dummy. He knew something and it was likely Jones drug use.
 
Just watched pretty much every McGregor fight thanks to Youtube. Interesting rise to fame, his two losses which were submissions, he tapped super quick

He faced a handful of wrestlers, obviously not to the level they have in the UFC. Seemed to hold his own and get back to his feet for the most part. I guess he is almost big enough to fight at WW but he cuts down a lot to FW. They've always said he's a huge FW

Dudes rise to fame is not organic. It has been brought on by superstar treatment by the UFC and various media outlets licking dudes taint.

I want to see him fight Frankie. Strong suspicion that Edgar would eat his food.

How is it not organic??

The UFC is garbage at promoting fighters imo. Charisma and ability have put him in the position he's in. Same for every other star in the organisation.
 
Dude's talking skills are so overrated. He throws out some high school level insults and people go crazy over it.

Brock's UFC 100 post-fight interview > anything that leprachaun will ever say
 
I enjoy Conor's bravado, Kanye shrug. For me personally, it's not the insults that "I go crazy over" 

He definitely is getting fast tracked in the company though, no doubt about it. The only thing he hasn't done is face a top level wrestler, the comp that he's faced otherwise has been pretty solid. I hope he keeps winning and can withstand wrestlers, his skill set is a thing of beauty IMO

On that note....

Joseph Duffy submitted Conor McGregor in under 40 seconds in 2010. Now he's signed with the UFC.

You're a Frankie Edgar fan, I get it, we've argued about him before.

I'm not saying Conor is anymore deserving, it's just more interesting to me.

Frankie can fight Mendes or Lamas, at least that will cut down the number rematches in the division. Don't you want to see him fight someone else for a change? And if Edgar wins against Aldo? ANOTHER immediate rematch.

TBH I think Aldo is almost done with the division, and I think he'll go up to LW soon if he doesn't lose.

We've argued about him before? Yes, I'm a Frankie fan. But I'm a realist. Which is why I'm asking, if not him, who? Especially IF Conor loses.

I don't disagree about Conor being more interesting. And I haven't REALLY cried "travesty" about him getting the next shot. Because I get it. But it is definitely questionable.

I don't care about Frankie fighting someone else though. He's almost always going to be in against an elite fighter (Bj was once! HA!) so to me it will always be worth watching.

As for fighting Mendes or Lamas....the guy just beat the "#1 Contender" and now he's supposed to go backwards? Makes no sense. And if he fights Mendes, and Mendes wins, is another Aldo/Mendes fight any better? This fast? When Mendes is 0-2?

Makes more sense to me for Lamas and Mendes to fight each other but even then, you're limiting your potential title contenders and that pool is already shallow in the division.

But I agree with the last point and moreso, I WANT him to go to 155 already.

The weird this is, I decided to watch Conor's old fights because I wanted to see all of his losses. Random how they signed one of the dudes who beat him the same night 
laugh.gif
 

Can't wait to see Conor face the true bad ***** of the division. Even if Conor doesn't deserve the title shot over Frankie, I would still love to see Aldo/McGregor. Would be one of my most anticipated bouts

BTW, apparently Chael drank a Coke at the Shogun weigh in as well

Yup I would to see how fired up Aldo would get against Conor. We might see WEC Aldo again and go for the kill

I mean I wouldn't mind McGregor and Aldo going at it so long as Frankie got next.

Hell wouldn't mind seeing an Edgar vs Mendes fight.
