FFS the LHW division is a mess now
Jones won't come back. The fans won't look at Cormier as the real champ. The UFC tried to pretend Manuwa was a contender and he got exposed. Rumble had a chance against Cormier and fucked it up, then retired..
Hopefully Gustafsson gets the next challenge and wins the belt

What an idiot.
But possibly shows that Jones didn't feel he could beat DC clean.
Ban him for life.
There are some good LH coming through.

He'll end up in Bellator in no time.
He was my guy, based purely on ability, but what an utter piston wristed gibbon. That speech at the end of the fight is so slimey now. I actually thought he showed some class for once in his life.
Cormier probably Knew and so did White.

Classy response from DC. IMO smart to withhold his opinion until we know more:
“It's hard to find words to describe how I'm feeling right now,” Cormier said. “I'm disappointed to hear the news. It's very emotional.
“We as athletes are entitled to due process, and I will refrain from saying much more until I know exactly what happened.
“In my mind, on July 29, I competed and I lost. I thought Jon Jones was the better man that day. I don't know what to think anymore. I can’t believe we are going through all of this again. We will see what happens next.
“Thank you to all my fans who have supported me during this dark time. I love you all very much.” -

I think what it shows is if you combine it with his weird T/E ratio a couple years ago and the inhibitor he was banned for last year, he's probably been on roids his entire career. It calls into question every fight he's won.
It'll be interesting to see what kind of ban he gets. The inhibitor he failed for last year was only a 1 year ban, whereas roids are two years and second time offenders are double that. So it'll depend on whether they consider this his first or second fail because they're two different drugs. If it's his first then he should get a 2 year ban but if it's his second, it'll be a 4 year ban. At 30 right now, he's snorted, crashed into and pissed hot the peak years of his career. What a fuckwit.
Oh and while I know they're waiting to see how things play out before doing anything, if they don't just give the belt straight back to DC and pretend that loss never happened, it'll be a complete joke. You can't lose a fight to someone who shouldn't have even been allowed in the octagon.

Agreed.
If they don't see the long term impact of this and ban him for life then the UFC is on the WWE road.

Surely they'd have to. The result gets overturned so you would hope the belt goes back. DC probably won't fight again this year so perhaps they'll also have an interim belt fight.
Considering the brutal nature of the knock out, could DC sue Jones?

'Tainted supplement' coming out of the Jones camp

Mark Hunt mate. He took the UFC to court for his fight with Brock Lesnar.

UFC 215
Some very good action, upsets and controversy. -
@MajorRage said in UFC:
Jones ... positive second test. UFC must be red Rover for him.
Ben Johnson moment.
Hopefully.
-
Been some cracking fights the past month.
UFC 216
Last three fights delivered. Def worth a watch.
-
Cerrone v Till is definitely worth a watch

UFC 119
Golm v Colombo
Impressive debut from Golm. Fast and tough. And skills to pay the billsFigueiredo v Brooks
Bullshit hometown decision
Brooks' wrestling too good for FigueiredoDos Santos v Griffin
A barrage from Dos Santos in Round 1 and somehow Griffin survives
Steady Round 2
And a deserved unanimous decision for Dos Santos after some heavy bombs in Round 3Dias v Gordon
Gordon's ground game too strong for DiasCarlos Junior v Masrshman
Too easy for Carlos Junior as Marshman gives his backLuque v Price
Luque faster, stronger and more preciseLineker v Vera
Dominance from LinekerSantos v Hermansson
Dynamic kicking and striking from Santos for a first round stoppageTrinaldo v Miller
Tough, tough toe to toe with Trinaldo getting the decisionMunhoz v Font
Fantastic guillotine from MunhozMaia v Covington
Big win for Covington. Deserved.Machida v Brunson
Wow. Machida in control and then Brunson turns out the lights. Maybe on his careerBig night next week

UFC 217
Zahabi v Ramos
If at first you don't succeed...
Great second attempt at spinning elbow from Ramos turns Zahabi's lights outOleinik v Blaydes
What a chin on Oleinik in Round 1
Then a controversial illegal kick that barely brushed Oleinik's ear in Round 2 caused confusion before Blaydes got the TKO after the ref called Oleinik couldn't continueBrown v Gall
A war, back and forth, but Brown too strongSaint Preux v Anderson
Tough, tough battle with Saint Preux tiring and down on the cards and then he pulls out a roundhouse kick to the head that puts Anderson out for the count
WowHarris v Godbeer
Godbeer spent most of the first round on his back but did a good job of covering up
Then Harris has an accidental low blow followed by a kick to the face after the ref called time twice
Harris DQd, Godbeer with the win. Not that he knew anything about it
Harris will come though. Fast, dynamic and tough. With skillsVick v Duffy
Really good back and forth fight with Duffy ahead on the cards
Then Vick catches Duffy with a great uppercut for the ref to stop the fight just before the 2nd round buzzerHendricks v Costa
Costa too big, too quick, too skillful for Hendricks. But Hendricks durable and game. And experienced.
A pissed off Costa ups the pace in the second round and Big John McCarthy calls it after a Costa barrageThompson v Masvidal
Masvidal bamboozled by Thompson's speed and styleJedrzejczyk v Namajunas
WOW
What a fight, what a finish from Namajunas
Accurate and punishingBarbrandt v Dillishaw
WOW
So fast
Brilliant finish from TJ
Rematch pleaseBisping v GSP
MSG, GSP, OMGBEST CARD EVER
-
For me this was all about GSP. Just seeing him come to the ring was surreal. He was awesome. Bisping is a division gate keeper that somehow ended up champion. So theres got to be something said about that... I hope GSP sticks around. I think if he stays at middleweight Whittaker will ruin him. You could see Whittaker licking his lips after the fight. So would be happy to see him go back to Welterweight. But Woodley is a hell of a speed bump. It's not an easy road either way he goes.
Rose Namajunas was the obvious surprise of the night. Scary to think she is only 25. I have been a fan for a while. She started out as a bit of a gimmick. Another pretty girl, Paige Vanzant type. But she went away from being a poster girl, shaved her head, ditched the bikinis at weigh ins and became a fucken weapon. Huge, huge fan of Thug.
No Love really started to get it going but lost composure. Dillashaw is a hard puzzle to solve but I think he was more lucky than anything there has to be a rematch. I know the money is for a Cruz fight next up but I'd rather see these 2 go at it again.
Time for Hendricks to give it away.
