Yep, the details will be interesting, after hearing him on Rogan's podcast and all the stuff about how easy he found the cut and how gokd he felt at the lower weight I'm not entirely surprised to find it was assisted. Seems this savante strength and conditioning guy he uses is just an old school chemistry guy after all.

[Mansells Tash]

I'm expecting it to be bad if he's already trying to mitigate the guilt as opposed to protesting his innocence.

[Zarco]

He has always looked seriously ripped.

[Don1]

But they are being very coy about what he has popped for. They are saying recreational, it was NY, so maybe cannabaloids?

[Ruskie]

Incidents like this really damage the integrity of the sport. I take the view that there should be zero tolerance to any drugs in sport. The punishments are far, far too lenient. PED’s should be a lifetime ban and recreational drugs, long enough to make it difficult to return to the top level.

Jon Jones is arguably the GOAT but to me he is and always will be a drug cheat.

Maybe the question is who's he eaten?

A one year suspension suggests it was something more than a diuretic to help him cut...

Just had the chance to watch the whole main card of UFC 147. Is it me or was there some goofy judging in London that night?

Reyes didn't beat Oezidmir.

How the fk did one judge have Nelson beating Edwards?! Nelson hit him more and beat him wrestling. Not to mention damage.

[DocJock]

Another great card with one surprise result. What a ko by Pettis. One punch earns him $50K

[Zarco]

Caught that KO on YouTube. Nice.

[Zarco]

McGregor retired from MMA.

Bit gutted about that tbh. Not sure he was ever going to recreate that incredible run he had though.

[Don1]

Paper champion. Good for him though.

[GregK2]

Imagine retiring twice by the age of 30..

[anonymous-user]

Publicity stunt

[Johnny]

Just seen that...hmmmm.

In other news - loved Showtime's finish of Wonderboy. Special.

Did spring to mind, or negotiation strategy.

[Purso]

IMHO he is copying mayweathers stratergy who retired so. many times. Improves your negotiating stance.

[epom]

He is a loss to the revenues, but hardly a loss to the sport. He's hardly fought recently (and that's speaking as an Irish person).
