Jon Jones got in a car wreck that hospitalized a pregnant woman and fled the scene crying because he knew he couldn't naturally get a woman pregnant

9.7. Contrast the Applicant's position. He did not ask Mr. Blasich to purchase the product from a safe
environment: he simply asked him for a tablet. In fact, he did not seem to care about where Mr.
Blasich got the tablet; but only about what it could do for him in terms of increasing his sexual
pleasure. Mr. Blasich himself took no steps to check that the tablet was not, and did not contain, a
Prohibited Substance. The Applicant did not look at or read the label on package from which the
tablet was taken, something sensibly said in Knauss v. FIS (CAS 2005/A/847) to be "a clear and
obvious precaution" (para 7.3.6). He never asked to see the package at all.

He'd seen enough packages he regretted for one day, I guess

If he's never gonna defend the belts, or at least has unlimited time to without fear of punishment, I hope he continues his word and goes for all the belts because I desperately want to see Heavyweight Conor McGregor at some point

I've been following MMA since the very early UFCs, which I had to watch on rented VHS tapes, but I had never been to one in person until UFC 205. It was so worth it to be able to watch it at MSG despite the cost. The fights were outstanding although our team and its affiliates, the extended Team Renzo Gracie, had a rough night. Frankie and Jim Miller won but Chris Weidman and Rafael Sapo Natal both got knocked out. Katlyn lost a decision (though won under Stockton rules) and Eddie got knocked out post his return to Almeida's team.

The crowd was great. MSG was completely packed with just under 21,000 people. Media is reporting that the gate was a record breaking $17.7 million not even counting the PPV which was north of the previous record 1.65 million. It was a huge Conor crowd. I've never seen so many Irish people in my life. There were not just Irish Americans but a ton of people who flew over from Ireland. Every time they would show Conor on a video promo the crowd would pop. The atmosphere was so aggro and the crowd so drunk that I was expecting fights in the stands but I only saw one distant one. The most amusing thing was the girl across from us who was so drunk that the security guard kept escorting her back to her seat and she kept grabbing the security guard to make out with him in front of her boyfriend.

The crowd showed a ton of respect to Karolina for that gutsy effort and also loved Wonderboy. MSG was going nuts when Wonderboy escaped that onslaught. Frankie was also a big crowd favorite. Obviously the crowd went nuts when Conor won.

Glad you had a wonderful time!

The good news from last night is McGregor took basically no damage and could turn around quick for another fight if the price is right.

I was kinda surprised they just announced a Fight Night card for Super Bowl weekend. For the last month I've thought that weekend would have been the perfect time for another PPV with some new Conor title fight getting the spotlight

Medieval MMA is far less baffling to me than those Polish 5 on 5 or 10 on 10 group fights

It's hosed up that Holloway will have had to win 10 times in a row just for a shot at the belt

GSP says UFC will likely view him as "villain" for today. Says revenue split is 8%, even someone like McGregor doesn't make enough.

Cain says he's had 7 surgeries.

Will fight Dec. 30, and already has his 8th surgery scheduled for after.
