Looking forward to the Cerrone fight this weekend.
Cerrone didn't do too good.
Yes, that was unfortunate. He struggles in title fights.
RIP

Nick Diaz suspension reduced to 18 months and not 5 years anymore. Eligible to fight on on August 1st, 2016.
I hope Cruz can get the belt back.
Me too.
LMAO at this.
Sage Northcutt's ground game is pretty embarrassing but some fighters have no respect.
Toothpick and Benson leave UFC for Bellator
Donald Cerrone with a good outing. Looked small against Oliveira and if it stayed standing it didn't look promising for him. Cerrone pulled of a slick submission though.

I love how Reebok fined Cerrone large last fight for his uniform infraction but then Harley Davidson gave him a free motorcycle this weekend.
I only caught the last two fights of Bellator, so I can't comment on the rest of the card but those last two fights pretty much went as bad as possible for them. Not quite sure what Bellator is doing with these circus acts and now going into the Kickboxing market. They've signed some good names and then they do questionable matches like this. I guess if the Kimbo/Dada 5000 fight ended quick and the Shamrock/Gracie fight ended up being a war, I wouldn't be saying this.
Totally forgot about the Mike Tyson commentary during the Melvin Guillard fight that was cringeworthy.
UFC 196: Rafael dos Anjos Drops Out of Conor McGregor Fight
Brazilians have some bad luck.
Wouldn't be surprised if Cerrone steps up except he needs to cut significant weight in short time and he didn't look good in his last big fight under pressure.
Hope Diaz steps up. Dude will make every excuse in the books if he loses though.
Well, looks like Conor is moving up two weight classes and is going to fight Nate Diaz at Welterweight.

So, any chance Diaz catches Conor in a triangle choke and gives Dana White the middle fingers as the posterboy falls?

you would think after his last incident, he would have a driver...what a bum ass loser...still in custody with no bail hearing scheduled so title fight could be in jeopardy
UFC star Jon Jones turned himself in to authorities today, after a judge issued a warrant for his arrest for a probation violation, reports TMZ. The violation is for the five citations Jones was handed for allegedly drag racing in Albuquerque, New Mexico—Jones says he was simply revving his engine at some fans—and he is on probation after pleading guilty last year to hit-and-run charges.
Jones got into it with the cop who pulled him over, and his rep seems to think this will all blow over, telling TMZ, “we are confident he will be released once he has an opportunity to explain to the judge the facts in this case.” But despite turning himself in this morning and having a high-powered lawyer, according to Bernalillo County Detention Center records Jones is still in custody, and doesn’t currently have a bail hearing scheduled.
Jones is scheduled to fight a re-match against Daniel Cormier at UFC 197 on April 23 in Las Vegas, Nevada, for the UFC Light Heavyweight Championship. Jones defeated Cormier for that title way back in January 2015, but later had his title stripped because of the hit-and-run incident. Cormier claimed the vacated title by defeating Anthony “Rumble” Johnson at UFC 187.
The UFC released the following statement:“UFC is aware that Jon Jones turned himself into the Albuquerque Police Department this morning for a potential probation violation stemming from a traffic stop last week. UFC has been in touch with Jones’ legal team and will have no further comment until the organization has had appropriate time to gather necessary information.”http://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/...82bd7gzish.jpg
P4P Worst Driver in the World
Jones needs to get his life together.
Why?
Lame ... should be a good warm up fight for the long layoff.
It seems like when ever there is going to be a big UFC fight someone is hurt, or something happens.
Not sure how I missed this. Thanks for posting.Quote:

Although, that would make for a long training or a long fight camp.Quote:

His cardio is questionable even when he does train for a 5 round fight, so it's probably a good call not to step up if he wasn't fully training. He was suppose to fight Jon at UFC 187 before Jon's legal troubles which would have made this an interesting fight and easy to promote.
A second Gus fight also made a lot of sense. He doesn't want to fight until Summer / Fall due to an injury. He doesn't have medical clearance to train until this month (April).
I hope Ovince St. Preux ankle is alright. He fought on Feb. 6th against Rafael Cavalcante and hurt his ankle early on in the fight and looked horrible. He suffered through it though for the win.

It's looking like Jon Jones didn't want to disappoint fans since he cancelled one UFC fight card before. Hopefully this is a competitive fight and a good warm up. Taking a bit of a risk. Everyone is looking past OSP and assumes Jon will fight DC at UFC 200 if he doesn't take much damage.
He's got some good finishes though and there is always the slim possibility that we are in for an upset. Anything can happen.

Submission (calf slicer) [never even heard of this move]

I actually like this fight. Always looking forward to Jon Jones fighting, and OSP is a unpredictable fighter with nothing to lose. Jones should handle him, as he should with anybody, but this is not a easy fight.
First fight at Madison Square Garden in November. Another fight scheduled by end of the year in upstate NY.
Evans got killed Saturday.
