I didn't know Aldo brought Machida into his camp for this fight.

While being aware of the "never bet on MMA" creed, I reckon the odds are pretty good for a sneaky Werdum bet this weekend

I'm sorry, I can't hear you over the sound of how awesome I am.

Conor now has ammo if he loses. I don't think there's any way in hell UFC will cancel the fight even if Aldo DOES pop, the money they're going to make is going to be obscene.

If you want to be cynical, it would be more likely to believe that an Aldo sample gets delayed for more analysis and comes back dirty after the fight.

If Aldo actually got popped before the fight, as in an actual positive PED test with no chain of custody issues by a reputable lab, results made public, then the fight would be scrapped.

Aldo wouldn't face the new punishments since they aren't in effect yet, but (and I understand we're deep into hypothetical speculation land here) if he's banned at all, even 6 months, he'd be stripped and they'd schedule a fight for the vacant title with Aldo getting a shot at the new champ when he's back.

Some filthy PED abuser sneaked into Aldo's gym and peed in all of the test vials he keeps there and the sample was destroyed because of that. No worries guys, nothing shady happening.

Longer interview here. His continual bagging on Overeem is really funny. Though ugh it makes me kinda sad how badly he wants to fight Cain again.

Not currently. The only openly gay male mma fighter I remember hearing about is Shad Smith, who never made it to the UFC. There is an openly gay female UFC fighter, Liz Carmouche, and I think there might be one other that I can't remember. In boxing there's currently an openly gay male fighter named Orlando Cruz, and Emile Griffith came out as gay after his boxing career. Christy Martin was openly bisexual, and Ann Wolfe is openly gay although I don't recall if she came out before she retired from the ring.

I think Andraste is out as a lesbian.

I like Cain and he's the better fighter but Werdum is cool and it's funny to see Cain & his camp get mad about the semantic definition of his nationality.

I like seeing champions lose for whatever reason so I would kinda like to see Werdum win, but I'm more than okay to see Cain run roughshod over him.

I'd very much enjoy a close fight too though. I just want this fight to happen.

If Werdum beats Cain does he become the lineal UFC / Pride / Strikeforce HW champion and we see our second Triple Crown in one year??

If he can get Nogueira to tap he can probably explode one of Cain's bad joints with an intense stare.

Conor is making a stink about how he got blood and urine tested while Aldo only submitted a urine sample. Wonder if that got lost in all the commotion or if Aldo really never did get blood tested.
