Jon Jones doesn't like Luke Thomas for some reason

Dana did say outright the winner of Maia/Woodley is getting GSP next. GSP got to be praying for that Maia win right now.

The ABC has unanimously approved instant replay in MMA. Its not a new rule, but just a policy statement to guide AC's who choose to use it.

The policy is that replay should only be used for a "fight-ending sequence" to see whether or not a foul ended the fight. If replay is available, only the referee can call for replay after the end of a fight, it can't be called to see if a foul that didn't end the fight occurred, and can't be used to see if a fighter tapped out. After the ref views the replay, he can use it to confirm the winner of the fight, or send it to scorecards for a technical decision, or declare a DQ, or declare a no contest.

This seemed like another set up for Jones to talk about how much self reflection he's done and whatever and I was pleasantly surprised that he just told him to gently caress off instead

So that's for like, that fight a while ago where someone got hardcore eye poked and then finished straight away after while he couldn't see? You can replay it and say "eye poke, no contest" and not rely on the stupid rear end athletic commissions to decide it?

Yeah, but you'll need to convince the ref to look at the replay instead of stoicly accepting the loss and walking out.

Michael Chiesa is a worse loser than a Brazilian.

Aldo says Holloway is a great fighter who earned the title and that Frankie deserves the next title shot.

The only acceptable outcome for a Jones win this weekend would be him building hype for the rest of the year until getting bulldozed by Lesnar on the year end card. I loving crave it.

I mean thats also entirely possible as a Canadian I'm basically obliged to want GSP to win no matter what, but Maia has got to be the simpler fight for him most likely.

The last time GSP was effortlessly jabbing somebody was 2 years before Anthony Johnson left welterweight.

I don't like the ones who ask stupid irrelevant questions, get called out for doing it consistently and then as soon as the call out happens they have something up on twitter about how hard it is for them and that they're so victimised. It's probably not a coincidence that both MMA Fighting dudes who are egotists got owned and people like, while Esther Lin isn't full of herself and owns and people don't want her to get caught up in MMA Fighting getting banned from cageside for being dicks.

Luke Thomas had something up on Soundcloud about Jon Jones owning him in short order. Take your lumps and move on instead of "I dunno why he hates me, I'm cool and good, mummy said so :("
