I don't like watching Jon Jones fight because his game is built on dangerous cheating that stifles everyone's stand up who isn't also freakishly long (all of LHW but Gus). Many more fighters would have highlight reels of impressive finishes if they had freakish arms that they poked their opponents with at will. It's easier to land a spinning elbow on someone who's timing has been put off and their vision obscured.

Like all right-thinking Americans, I too hate Jon Jones, but when I read people saying he isn't a good and entertaining fighter it just confuses me. He does cool poo poo all the time in his fights, don't let your hate for him as a person prevent you from enjoying cool fight poo poo. You're only punishing yourself.

Chael's book is really entertaining until he his off on that rant about Nixon being the greatest president ever or whatever wacky poo poo he threw in the middle of that book I had to skip. It's a shame he's stuck on 90 second ESPN sound bites now because he was also entertaining on FS1's UFC coverage.

Last year there was a big news story because it was confirmed and documented that Nixon had literally committed treason--his 1968 campaign committee leaked information to the North Vietnamese and convinced them from not to come to a peace agreement before the election, because his strategy depended on the war continuing. My father-in-law thinks Nixon is the best president ever and did not care when that story came out. This is a man who earned a purple heart in Vietnam, was union for decades, and consistently voted Democratic since '92. Nixon has a weird pull on people.

The timing of this article right before ufc 182 can't be a coincidence. He basically took the stance a lot of athletes who get caught and said that everyone takes them and many abuse them more then me. While probably true its not changing anything.

I Didn't find it that good.Felt weird that his code had no steroids at the top and the proceeded to do testosterone replacement therapy which is the most awesome one there is.Steroids is an entire family of compounds with different characteristics so I just don't get that point.Any kind of PED supplementation requires careful monitoring and dosage to achieve optimal results without any kind a lasting damage so I suppose that when he says that he's rallying against the most dirty and amateurish aspects of PED and doping.Things like overdosage because you don't see results or don't bother checking your cycle or accepting stuff from a stranger (I've seen this thing in particular , a police men passing testosterone doses around like candy and people accepting it) incomplete cycles without the proper medicaments to restart your balls or to balance your estrogens.

I simply don't get the point of the article.

a high-level self-professed cheater gives his thoughts on a topic he is extremely familiar with? don't go looking for subtext (aside from undisclosed medical reasons clearly meaning tiny grapes) because there isn't any layers here. he's speaking on a topic. take what you want from it, imo. poo poo if nothing else the prose is good.

On a somewhat related note, does Chromecast work well with Fight Pass and the Fox Sports Go app? I'm going to be without a computer for a while so I want to be able to stream to my tv from my tablet, and I know Chromecast had problems with Fight Pass at least at first so I want to make sure I get the right thing.

Wish I could answer you, being I actually have and use Chromecast daily, aswell as subscribing to fight pass, but I havent tried it out yet.

Sources from Japan have noted negotiations have taken place over the past months involving trying to acquire the tape library of K-1, which would include the highest profile kickboxing events of the last two decades, as well as MMA shows that aired on network television in Japan under the banner of Dream and Hero's.

That would be rad as heck, and I hope they branch into having kickboxing in some form on fightpass.

Also, after the fiasco with cung le, the ufc has announced they're ending their out of competition drug testing program. Even though Cung Le was incriminated with a post fight test. Better stop doing those too!

There's been a lot of confusion about the announcement but it looks like out of competition testing is still going to happen, but rather than doing it directly the UFC is going to pay the athletic commissions to do it.

the k-1 library rights are fragmented as gently caress and i'm not even sure the court cases about it got resolved. if they could do a deal with both fuji and tbs then they could get the wgp shows and max, which would be cool. there's also a k-1 japan league at the moment who run exclusively on nicovideo, if that was available on fight pass i'd watch it in a heartbeat.

Apparently the deal allows the promotions that still exist to broadcast live events on Fight Pass, so we could theoretically see a modern-day KOTC or Pancrase show on UFC television. Amazing.
