UFC 199 & 200

[Kheenbish]

Big night for news and great fights. Bisbing finally got that belt, while Henderson says he is retiring after a nice knockout finish...but the news about Brock Lesner is interesting. Lesner makes a return for UFC 200 as the co-main event...? I feel like his hype ended awhile ago and the UFC is scrapping for ratings when McGregor and Diaz rematch fell through. I know he will draw spectators, but don't think he deserves a co-main event slot.

ESPN Article on Brock. Based on the local news articles about him, and his health in particular, I think his coming back is a bad idea. Really bad.

That said, 200 is now "must see" for me so I guess Dana is getting what he wants.

Dana is probably hoping and praying for something to happen to Brock during the fight. I have zero faith that Dana White gives the remotest fuck about anything other than making money.

Seen that Brock Lesner will be facing Mark Hunt at 200. That ought to be interesting.

Jones/ Cormier is now / Cormier.

Jon Jones removed from UFC 200 for possible doping violation

Jon Jones has been removed from Saturday's UFC 200 card after a possible anti-doping violation.

Jones had been scheduled to fight Daniel Cormier in a co-main event bout for the light heavyweight title.

The violation was discovered by the USADA in a test conducted June 16.

I am unsympathetic to Jones.

I still occasionally watch his backyard brawl videos on YouTube. Always great entertainment. Man up, fight, then shake hands at the end. The way it should be. Shame his life was cut short so soon.

Anderson Silva to fight Cormier. Hope he didn't skip leg day.

[Ooh-Rah]

Elbow to the spine!?!

That's legal?

Why is Brock fighting out of Canada?

 

[Ooh-Rah]

As a Minnesota boy, I am happy.
