At this point Cormier gotta pull a Juan Manuel Marquez and get himself a new “nutritionist” to get him in his best shape before he fights Jones again.

If he’s not about that then he might as well never speak on fighting that man again.
 
Still can't wrap my head around moving the entire fight card just for one fight, i feel for the UFC production crew its a logistical nightmare and right at Christmas as well.
 
nobodys buying that card without jon jones

it would take something like dc filling in at the last minute against gus to even have a chance at selling without jones
 
Dana scrambling to get those end of year numbers up. I wonder what the UFCs 2018 profit margins are looking like
 
if I was GUS i would straight ski mask the UFC. im talkin 2x or 3x my purse... oh you want me to sign a new contract a week out because this guy cant stop popping? sureeee i want his salary too tho
 
Frank Mir was suspended 2 years for the same substance and it appears the science they applied with him was different from the science they applied to Pulsating Jones

“In the spring of 2016, when USADA representatives sat in my Las Vegas kitchen and told me that the turinabol metabolite that they said I tested positive for could only have been ingested within a window of the past several months, I vehemently proclaimed my innocence,” Mir wrote in a post on Facebook. “Having never failed any drug test throughout my career, I asked if we could go back further in the past to test any supplements that I could’ve taken, but they claimed that was both impossible and unnecessary. They were firm on their assertion that there was only a recent period of several months that would warrant any consideration. Now, little more than two years later, Jon Jones has tested positive for the same trace of the same banned substance, and USADA is taking the position that this same low level is in fact not a new ingestion, but something that could be the result of a residual ‘pulsing’ effect that could potentially stay in his system ‘forever’. Further, they are now claiming that this phenomenon is something that they are seeing in other cases as well.

“This latest shift in USADA’s position would seem to suggest one of two possibilities…Either they are a) offering special dispensation to Jon Jones or b) they are second guessing and subsequently ‘revising’ the presentation of their own science. Either scenario leaves myself and a number of other fighters whose careers have been similarly damaged by past testing claims to wonder what this says about USADA’s consistency and their tests’ reliability. Sadly, my accusation came at a time when the UFC’s partnership with USADA had not yet been subjected to the kind of doubt that now seems to further cloud it with each new instance of convoluted circumstances.”

 
It was perhaps the Wild West in drug use before usada, but now it’s swung the other way in terms of policing it

Unfortunate for the fighters who were wrongly suspended and/or treated differently on the basis of applying science in a non scientific manner
