can you imagine how utterly hosed this division is going to be if both edgar and aldo are simultaneous gatekeepers?

Congratulations on winning six straight at featherweight. Your reward is to headline a fight night card in your hometown and be kicked in the legs for 25 minutes by a bored-looking Jose Aldo in front of 4500 drunk people.

Ngannou didn’t fade much when he went two medium-hard rounds with Blaydes, though the jab gave him some trouble before he punched Blaydes’ eye out. I think Stipe has a good chance to win a boring fight.

Ngannou's first fight went into the second round and he didn't really gas. This was when he was still effectively living on the streets training in Paris.

I just rewatched the Henrique and Blaydes fights. He got wrestled a lot in both and never really slowed down, though he’s not a high-output fighter.

Ian Kidd claims to have found a loophole that will allow the UFC to have selected fighters dodge USADA testing:

https://www.bloodyelbow.com/2017/12/11/16740288/ufc-usada-loophole-secret-exemptions-from-drug-testing-peds-steroids

It's Ian Kidd, so grain of salt.

It’s total bullshit. His entire premise is that the UFC is some nefarious organization plotting to conceal dopers rather than an organization that wants to keep Ronda under contract even if they know she’s never fighting again. I’m 100% sure Dana didn’t know that Ronda isn’t getting tested, because why would he keep track of that himself?
Nothing he says makes any sense if you think about it for more than a second. You can look to see if someone got randomly tested, if they didn’t you can press the issue. It’s more likely bureaucratic friction than it is a deep dark conspiracy, but Iain Kidd leaps to the deep dark conspiracy conclusion every time.

you cant see who is in the pool but you could check each fighter's individual tests over time? I dont see what the issue is? You could easily see if a guy wasnt getting tested right?

This is a conclusion a small child could draw but Iain Kidd could not.

A week and a half until Carlos is back. Unless he has major ring rust I think he's going to put Magny down. It probably won't look like a standard Condit fight since Magny also has great conditioning but I don't think Magny has the tools to avoid being tagged and eventually once he shows weakness brutally murdered.

Magny’s ascent is interesting because he’s still just as limited a fighter as he was when he washed out of the weakest season of TUF but he’s made the most of every one of his strengths. When he runs into somebody who can take advantage of his limits he just gets squashed, but he can grind a win out of almost anybody.

I think Condit will squash him.

Bisping & his manager sued each other & the docs are public now so you can see some ufc financial stuff. Most importantly, Dana White confirmed that someone (probably Brock) was paid for doing TUF with a tractor.

I think it was a combine, I remember Dana talking about it. He agreed because he thought a combine would be like 50k and it was six times that.

E: when I googled this all i found for a source were old Keven posts

It was funny hearing Izzy Martinez on Submission Radio recently saying that Khabib never actually missed weight last time, that he was totally on track to make weight but his body shut down.

Anthony Johnson was only three pounds from making weight against Vitor when he stopped being able to feel his legs and the doctor made him start drinking water so he wouldn’t die, so he blamed the doctor for making him miss weight by 12 pounds.

Also everything Woodley does outside of complaining about how he deserves to be a star is cool. I like his fights when he knocks out people I don’t like.

im permabanned poster brazilianstomper58. i first started watching ufc when i was about 12. by 14 i got really obsessed with the concept of "mike goldberg" and tried to channel it constantly, until my thought process got really bizarre and i would repeat things like "virtually identical" and "corn to the core" in my head for hours, and i would get really paranoid, start seeing things in the corners of my eyes etc, basically prodromal schizophrenia. im now on antipsychotics. i always wondered what the kind of "mike goldberg" style of mma commentary was all about; i think it's the unconscious leaking in to the conscious, what jungian theory considered to be the cause of schizophrenic and schizotypal syptoms. i would advise all people who "get" mike goldberg to be careful because that likely means you have a predisposition to a mental illness. peace.
