Yeah, when you are at the point where you are running away from blood/urine tests, time to hang them up.

Slime Slayer

CM Punk just announced he will be fighting in the UFC... mind blown.

Dudebro

I hope he can put his money where his mouth is.

Krendall

I guess we'll find out. I know he's been trained in Muay Thai and Jujitsu, so he at least has a foundation to build from.

Slime Slayer

The guy is definitely tough, but what about the fact his star power is getting him an instant contract?

From a business standpoint, yeah it's a no brainer, for the integrity of the sport... I guess we will see.

Dudebro

It means he'll have to do awesome every time he comes out or some people will never take him seriously, like with Lesnar.

Slime Slayer

Anyone excited for DC vs. Jones tonight/tomorrow night? I am.

TodayIsForgotten

I'm only excited because in my head DC is going to destroy him, but yes, looking forward to this fight. Not sure about the card, itself, though.

Slime Slayer

I think DC will win too, he's undefeated at heavyweight.

What's up with the fake cheering during the Dana/Rogan pre-event back and fourth?

Dudebro

I wanted Jones to lose. Not because I think he sucks or anything but because I'm tired of seeing him eye poke people. They need to start deducting points when he face palms people.

Slime Slayer

So breaking news, Jones had some interesting drug test results... And He announced he's going into rehab for cocain. Cray.

Winnebagel

Dude! What's with these epic near perfect fighters and coke? First Calzaghe and now Jones. Too bad.

Slime Slayer

Apparently Tyson used to be under the influence during his fights.

Winnebagel

True. He's Tyson though, so the bizarre has always been his forte. Maybe there's like a secret Coke ring deep under the MGM Grand or something.

Slime Slayer

Well, give a young kid more money than he can spend, more cars than he can drive and more women than he can bang... It's not surprising they look for the next high.

Side note, Jones' testosterone levels were .29/1.00, which is extremely low, which means he either has severe medical issues, (he obviously doesn't) or he was not naturally producing enough testosterone due to cycling off incorrectly. I'm starting to wonder if all the publicity on cocain thing is just a distraction from the fact that he was basically busted for ped's, because in all honesty, all he would have had to do was say that yeah, he was at a party one night and got drunk, made a mistake, and did a line of coke. Instead we get massive amounts of headlines about rehab and such, rather than being downplayed, it's getting overblown. Not to mention Dana has fired fighters in the past over use of marijauna. Makes you think anyway.

Winnebagel

Damn. I'm behind in the news. Jones is IMHO the best lb for lb fighter in the world today. The kid better get it together.

Dudebro

I don't think you need to over complicate it. Getting coked up before a fight can be a serious advantage.

Slime Slayer

Agreed, also it can really help with weight cutting. Although I need to point out that JBJ was not proven to be on coke during the fight, his tests for it were from the 4th and 18th of Dec. (or something like that).

I remember I was moving once, and I had enlisted a buddy of mine to help. He was a German guy from the German party scene, he showed up on a Saturday at about 11 o'clock after partying hard the night before, and he was moving my stuff like an animal. I'm 99% sure it was coke fueled.

Slime Slayer

Well, Mcgregor is for real.

Brock Lesnar Offers To Help CM Punk Train For His UFC Debut | MMA News

I find this interesting as I thought Lesnar was a loner.

Slime Slayer

I hope nobody was looking forward to bones vs rumble. It's off, Jon Jones is apparently involved in something criminal, and the words "jail time" are getting thrown around a lot. Be interesting to see how this one unfolds. I'm not too impressed, rumble was going to dismantle him.

This story is becoming quite interesting. A lot of the previously reported stuff is proven to be false, in fact at one point it was believed he was in custody. The latest story is that he is wanted for questioning for a hit and run accident, and as it would seem is laying low. There is no way after all this buzz that he is oblivious to the fact that he is being looked for.

Dudebro

He's a good fighter but UFC might wanna just cut their losses at this point since he brings such negative media attention. He's coked up, refuses to complete his rehab and he keeps poking other fighters in the eyes. Not worth it for Dana I think.

Slime Slayer

No way, he's too big of a draw. He would single handedly put any promotion he signed with on par, or close to, the UFC. Uncle Dana will fight tooth and nail to keep him active. That being said, it doesn't look like they are going to have a choice, Jones will be doing jail time. It's looking like earlier reports were true. He crashed into a pregnant woman, resulting in a broken arm, and he was spotted by an off duty police officer running away on foot. The car was a rental, with documents with his name on them in the car, and cocaine was also found in the car. I'd imagine what has happened was that he was so messed up on drugs and booze he figured his best recourse would be to flee the scene until the proof was out of his system. But yeah, he's in big shit. I'll bet you that Dana will formerly announce that ties have been cut, and then they will be miraculously re-tied when his sentence is up. We will here buzzwords like recovered, apologetic, new path yadda yadda yadda.

Correction, it was weed found in the car, not coke. And arrangements have been made for him to turn himself in.

Dudebro

I dunno hasn't Dana been pretty adamant about kicking people and sticking to his guns?

Slime Slayer

Yeah, but he's only ever done it to people with little value. Think about how he reacted last time when bones got his first dui, or when he tested positive for coke. Absolutely nothing as far as any sort of punishment goes. Had it been a mid card fighter he would been outraged and made an example out of him. It really is just business to him.
