Was it Jeff Blood Green that was gonna have the big comeback fight and ended up just standing still and getting socked up

Edit - - Jeff green is a basketball player who am I thinking of. Ngannou comparison is what I'm going for

I'm thinking of mitch green thanks for reading my post
How about Pettis coming back anyway! I never thought chiesa was any good

The silence from USADA and the long drawn out nature of Jones' appeal does make me think he's getting the book thrown at him this time.

If this was a tainted supplement issue this would have been resolved awhile ago.

So wait even if he gets the minimum 2 year suspension he's still out until after DCs retirement date?

I think that at best, if he's very lucky and gets the minimum possible the earliest he can get back is like August of next year, and Cormier's birthday is in March.

Benefit for Jones is that he's still so young that he can come back and still have a pretty long and successful career, but he'll probably never get the chance to get an unsullied victory over Cormier.

The quote at the end of this most recent article sounds like Jones may be resigning himself to a 4 year suspension. https://www.mmafighting.com/2018/6/4/17427174/jon-jones-manager-abe-kawa-says-usada-decision-coming-hopefully-sooner-rather-than-later

Jones was last seen arguing himself out of having a fighter's license. I'm not holding my breath.

Also, our fat gay dad won and I'm very happy.

So Ngannou had his mind destroyed by his title fight and is going to be a coward for the next three years or what happened... confused.

Stipe completely broke his will to fight. Francis isn't hungry anymore.

Also god drat Jon Jones is good. I didn't expect that at all out of DC last night, and we've seen twice conclusively that DC has absolutely nothing for bones.

The only thing close to that Ngannou/Lewis fight that I can think of was Starnes/Quarry. I've never seen both fighters warned for timidity (from Herb Dean no less)

People! I'd like to say a couple words for you: If you have a dream in your life... go head! It's a possible! Go head! I can do that!
DC is the coolest and I'm glad he won.

The "Jon Jones cheated so he's not actually good" stuff is pretty silly. I've rooted for plenty of cheaters in this sport, so the fact that Jones is one too doesn't bother me perhaps as much as it should. I still dislike him intensely, but he's most certainly a once-in-several-life-times talent.

All that said, DC has accomplished some great poo poo in his career. Not beating Jones doesn't diminish him at all.

And now to argue against myself, heavyweight is trash and every victory you earn there is meaningless

Brock is literally a once in a lifetime athlete. The dude has done whatever he wants for his entire life and has somehow succeeded in most of it. He deserves all the hate he gets but when he’s doing something, specifically when he’s genuinely competing, it’s a thing you watch.

DC vs Lesnar is awesome. It’s a circus fight. It’s a legitimate fight. It’s a dumb wwe levels of hype fight.

how the hell does Miocic take shots from Overeem, JDS, Werdum, Ngannou, Mark Hunt and eat them like they're nothing, and then gets knocked out by DC. that to me is the craziest thing. DC has never been considered a powerful guy, unlike some of those guys Miocic has fought

Miocic got knocked out by Struve. Also, DC knocked out Bigfoot while Bigfoot went five brutal rounds with Hunt. It’s heavyweight, everyone has power if they can land clean.

DC seems way stronger than everyone gives him credit for. He’s a great striker too.

The most impressive part about DC's win is that they watched tape and knew that Stipe keeps his hands down while breaking from the clinch.

It also may be his chin isn’t what it used to be because of those fights. I can’t recall exactly the moments, but something from his last two fights made me think he’s starting to lose his chin. So much so that I put a bet down 1 min before the walkouts started for DC to win by KO.
