Bisping cut a promo on Luke Rockhold. I think his podcast is better than Bruce's and Tony's now.

The UFC organization was notified today that the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) has informed Jon Jones of a potential Anti-Doping Policy violation stemming from an in-competition sample collected following his weigh-in on July 28, 2017.

USADA, the independent administrator of the UFC Anti-Doping Policy, will handle the results management and appropriate adjudication of this case involving Jones, as it relates to the UFC Anti-Doping Policy and future UFC participation. Under the UFC Anti-Doping Policy, there is a full and fair legal process that is afforded to all athletes before any sanctions are imposed. The California State Athletic Commission (CSAC) also retains jurisdiction over this matter as the sample collection was performed the day before Jones’ bout at UFC 214 in Anaheim, CA, and USADA will work to ensure that the CSAC has the necessary information to determine its proper judgment of Jones’ potential anti-doping violation.

Additional information will be provided at the appropriate time as the process moves forward.
It could be a 4 year suspension.

Cormier is going to be pissed. So will Dana because that means no Lesnar fight.

Just when you think Derrick Lewis couldn't be more awesome, now he's driving around Houston in his monster truck saving people. Dana needs to give him a raise.

If you ever wanted to know what Conor's sisters look like, they're the two in the black bikinis

Not bad. The one on the right looks like Mia Malkova.

I thought Bisping and Jones were friends, but not after that. Then again Bisping sounds like he hates everybody but his family and Daniel Cormier on his podcast. :olol:

Mauricio Rua is injured and pulled out of the main event of UFC Fight Night 117 in Saitama, Japan, which takes place on Friday. He was scheduled to face Ovince Saint Preux. In his place, Yushin Okami has signed to return to the UFC and will face Saint Preux.
Dana must have hated to do that because he never liked Okami's style and cut him from UFC as fast as he could.

And it looks like Luke Rockhold will fight the winner of Bisping or GSP vs Robert Whittaker.

Holy shit, they let this guy fight. The Japanese can be brutal about MMA. In the west there's no way any commission would allow a guy so dehydrated he looks like a 120 year old trying to walk to fight the next day.

So many great Bisping lines. This is going to be bigger than Jones/Cormier.

UFC 217 was a night of shocks. Especially Thug Rose dethroning Joanna. TJ beat Cody and Mike lost to a returning GSP. George was starting to gas out but he got a good right hand strike in which turned the fight in his favour. I think Mike Bisping has hinted at retirement but he has a good future as a UFC fight analyst. DC, Bisping and Rogan would be a great broadcast team for the PPVs.

He said he's not retiring yet. Which I assume means one last fight with Luke Rockhold.

Yep, that would be a very good fight. I imagine if it's in England he'll retire there. Darren Till is an upcoming UFC fighter from the UK with a promising future so he could follow in Mikes footsteps. Michael Bisping has had a great UFC career and like DC was saying he was a very underrated champion. Had he beat GSP I wonder if he'd have retired then or still wanted the Rockhold fight?

He said at the Canadian Press conference before the fight he planned on fighting at least once more win or lose.

Also Rogan heard a a possible explanation for Jon Jones

Mm, I don't know about that. To quote Gorilla I think it's "highly unlikely"
“The stuff that [Jon Jones] tested positive for takes a long time to get out of your system, right? You know where else you find that stuff? You find it in creatine. When they get creatine, sometimes from China, it’s tainted with steroids. They use that creatine to cut cocaine.”

“One of the things they cut some cocaine with is creatine, because it looks like cocaine. So if he was partying: ‘Jon, you want to do a bump, it’s really good stuff’… ‘Hey man, I can’t test positive for anything’… ‘It’s just coke bro, it’s not even cut!”

“He had a birthday about 10 days out from the fight,” Rogan concluding, dumping gasoline on the fire and thrusting this conspiracy into overdrive.

That might be KO of the year.

Also Bisping signed to replace Silva.
