None of this is even remotely related to each other though

-Bones was never supposed to be tested for cocaine. It was out of competition, so there was no need to suspend or fire him

-Diaz was busted for marijuana several times within competition.... Argue between the drugs all you want, it doesn't matter - both are banned during competition, and if you test positive for either one during competition, you'll get suspended. Nick's latest results are questionable, but that's another issue all together.

Anyway, none of it is related, so it's pointless to mention the fighters together... Is Bones an idiot for doing coke and running away from an accident? Yup. Is Diaz an idiot for knowingly using a banned substance during competition? Yup. Does any of this have to do with comparing weed and coke? Nope

the timing of the banter of TJ being a snake in the grass and his actual leaving of TAM makes for even better TV.

so diaz' white house petition reaches more than 100k sigs. now the white house needs to release an official response correct?

is it going to be: "and we should care because?..." or a more serious response?

NSAC tucking tail

Nick Diaz could fight as early as 2016 - Mixed Martial Arts News

seems like slow mma news lately...

Ronda Rousey's coach claims bankruptcy, trustee pursues GFC for liquidation - Bloody Elbow

Tweet of the day: UFC wishes Eddie Alvarez happy birthday (it's not his birthday) - Bloody Elbow

and matt brown is pulling out of his fight due to injury :okay:

I like how he doesn't even have a name worthy of being in the headline... He's just "Ronda Rousey's coach" FailFish

Literally just listened to him an Ronda on JRE this morning (from a podcast a few months ago). guy sounds like a huge D-bag.

and rightfully so Kappa:troll:

and the gif in the comments regarding taxes :lawl: so true though.

guess you shouldn't doubt a mom's instinct. her mom publicly hated on him several times regarding how he treats women etc.

Fedor's new opponent for NYE is a 3rd match with Tsuyoshi Kosaka, the only fighter to have a win over him while he was actually any good (a blood stoppage which should have been a DQ).

Kosaka was actually a pretty good fighter, but is 45 years old now, last seen in MMA about 10 years ago, getting clobbered by Mark Hunt.

Belfort sure Ko'd Hendo tonight

Belfort also looked like 1/3 of his normal size with no definition whatsoever.

One of the many with new bodies after testing got more strict

So CroCop pulled out of his upcoming fight stating he had a shoulder injury and said he was retiring...

one day later it comes out he tested positive for PEDs and is the first fighter to do so under the new UFC anti doping rules.

Yup I didn't post it here but in another MMA forum but it was obvious what was going on. I'm sure this will be somewhat common (actually I'm amazed it hasn't happened several times already)

another cropcop story was that reebok refused to put his trademark checkered pattern on his shorts, they were going to force him to wear the standard trunks.

That's not much of a story really... He fights in UFC, he has to wear UFC gear. That would be like someone on the Canucks wanting to put their country's flag on their Canucks jersey :fuckthatshit:

:heckno:



also, mirin gains. everyone else got smaller after the new ped regs, ronda getting more swole

Looks like she might KO herself with her own shoulder during the fight

I hope she at least tries to box with Holm for a bit before taking her down and submitting her

Watch her dislocate her shoulder throwing punches with that form

ronda rousey's coach, i mean Edmond Tarverdyan teaching her how to strike like that?

I would love someone to shoot me a PM if you know what I mean, my normal I'm using is fucken shitty today!! :(

^ Would like PM as well if anyone has a quality stream.

Thanks

And here we go!

I got money on a arm bar submission.

HOLY FUCK

WOW!
