Thanks. I kinda figured the step-son was going a bit overboard but he was and is one of Jones’ biggest fans. I always liked Jones and thought he was a fantastic fighter but he got a problem with the nose candy and it made him stupid. I hope he has truly beaten it and I hope he does the same to Cormier tonight!

Watching it I thought Cerrone won.

Shouldn’t Cyborg be fighting in the men’s? I think Cyborg will probably win, but I can’t root for her (him.)

Did I hear the TV right? because forgive me since I do not follow UFC every week but according to what they said about the former female champion De Randomie, gave up her belt instead of defending it against Cyborg.

Yeah, you hear right. Evinger should just kick her in the balls.

Cyborg is not a tranny, real woman, just a PED abuser.

Yes, De Randomie cited Cyborg’s past with PED abuse in refusing to fight her.

I know she’s genetically a woman. What drugs are female fighters not allowed to take?

Cyborg by TKO, round 3. Tonya was tough, absorbed a lot of punishment.

Good fight, and yeah Tonya was damn tough, but considering who she fought against that was like fighting a man almost, I could see a rematch in the future, but she needs to go to the ground next time, not stand up.

The same drugs men aren’t allowed to take. In the past she has used steroids.

Her latest violation was for banned diuretic (to help with weight cutting and recovery) called spironolactone but she was then granted a “therapeutic use exemption”.

Woodley wins a UD, 2 of 3 judges gave Maia a round, which one I don’t know. Maia 0 for 23 in takedown attempts.

I know Woodley didn’t make a whole lot happen but I can’t imagine which round Maia won?

When this is over, Jones and Brock Lesnar are gonna fight. don’t know the back story there but Jones obviously spreads the bad blood around.

Jones rings DC’s bell with a head kick in round 3, soon he’s down and Jones finishes with ground and pound! Champ again.

Jones emotional talking to Joe Rogan.

It was the first round, apparently. I would definitely give that round to Woodley.

I found a working stream right after the Lawler v Cerrone fight. The Oezdemir v Manuwa fight is on YouTube. Dude’s looking like a wrecking machine lately.

What’s with Maia’s crappy game plan???

“Let’s see, the last dozen take-down attempts didn’t work because there was no set-up. I know... let’s try at least 5 more of the same.”

Props to Woodley for fighting smart, even though it was boring.
