Yeah its a good card but to be honest last fight I watched was Jones vs cormier 1. Jones was the major draw for me. Feels like I've been robbed of my excitement. If they can get gust in to fight cormier that might make it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like it's not cocaine this time. It's something he cannot pronounce: Quote “Supposedly they found something in one of my samples that I don’t know what it is,” Jones said. “don’t even know how to pronounce it.” My guess is a PED.

Its weird, through his interviews he seems like a decently intelligent person. Based on his actions it appears he is about as smart as a bag of rocks.

Down by the River Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Although this was a big draw for me, there are still a ton of fights that I'm excited for, especially TJ Dillishaw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For him to test positive for cocaine is absolutely pathetic. wasn't coke. It was some obscure PED that was probably in a supplement. This is just another example of the govt screwing up a private industry. Govts have athletic commissions ? What is this ? The Soviet Union ?

My point being him not researching or having his team know exactly what he could and couldn't use without being detected. They are professionals, everyone should be on top of the game in regards to the "supplements". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you think doping in sports falls under the category of overly controlling? You would rather have athletes be forced to dope in order to compete (which is what would happen)?

Neversummer Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Anderson Silva stepping in for Jones ... you gotta be kidding. Wasn't he tested positive a year ago after his last fight? That's the best that Dana White can do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are professionals, everyone should be on top of the game in regards to the "supplements". You want to time or just right to get the biggest edge. Professional athletes are messing up all over the place. They also don't know when the testing will advance. Look at the Olympic athletes. It's not just Russians getting busted. Most pro sports have really sloppy testing, which is why the get away with it. MMA is cracking down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KFBR392 Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 I'm not even sure why people are upset over this. The fight itself would probably be incredibly underwhelming. Jones is at a different level to Cormier. I'm a big Cormier fan, and I'd love to see him win, but he just doesn't stand a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
