I hope Dana holds a televised press event just to announce that Wanderlei's kicked out of the UFC

Remember when people liked and defended Jon Jones after getting an entire card cancelled because surely Jon Jones couldn't be an rear end in a top hat

It must suck going from dealing with people like Cowboy or Chael who will fight anyone, any time to dealing with a dumb whiny turd

Especially when the dumb whiny turd is a champ, and not one of the people who actually doesn't care who they fight

Even with accepting the fight people still find reasons to poo poo on Jones.

You say this like people should ever stop making GBS threads on Jones, a horrible scenario I don't even want to fathom.

gently caress Jon Jones.

Chael's original opponent Wanderlei ran out the back of a gym to avoid taking a test he knew he'd fail
Chael's new opponent Vitor failed a test months ago
Now Chael failed his test

This sport is better out of the octagon than it is in it

Everybody in the UFC is going to test positive for drugs, except for the president who needs drugs most

Can I get an update on how Chael is trying to hand wave this away?

Dana's talking right now, Chael will interview after that.

seriously though it's hosed up that Vitor and Wanderlei already had their kids made before Keith Kizer resigned and now Chael gets crucified

Wanderlei's wife: "Honey, I'm pregnant again"

Wanderlei: *runs out the back of house, drives away*

You gave us 4.5 rounds of Anderson Silva getting his rear end kicked, and you gave us a lot of laughs including the end of people taking Wanderlei Silva seriously, so rest in peace Chael Sonnen's career, it's been great

In a way Chael gets an appropriate sendoff

Quitting at the same time that Anderson Silva isn't champ and everybody hates Jon Jones for being shameful

Let's not close the door on Overeem surpassing this, or even Vitor.

If Overeem is ever involved in something somehow more entertaining than this entire Wanderlei/Vitor/Chael saga, close the sport immediately after.

With Chael Sonnen announcing his retirement from MMA on Wednesday, Vitor Belfort is officially off the UFC 175 card as well.

Yahoo! Sports' Kevin Iole first reported his removal from the card, and UFC Senior Director of Public Relations Dave Sholler confirmed that the UFC could not find another fighter to face him, so they removed him from the card.

According to Sholler, the UFC will announce a new bout order for the UFC 175 card in the coming days. Further, Ariel Helwani reported on Twitter that Belfort has been removed from the NAC's agenda next week, meaning his license situation remains in limbo.

It never ends :lol:

True. But so does Chael Sonnen and I root for him anyway for some reason.

“Why is everyone picking on the gays?” [Sonnen] says in a hushed tone. “If they want to go get married, let them get married. Or call it something else. There’s this big definition of marriage. These right-wing people are like, ‘Marriage is a reserved trust. Let them have a union, but it’s the same laws, just different words.’ Is that really what you’re thinking about? Do you know what’s going on in Haiti? Do you know the real problems in the world? And you’re complaining because these two people fell in love? What are you talking about? How is that your thing? That’s your issue? These people getting married?”
