    Leo "The Lion" Kuntz makes his debut on this card. ATT fighter. Good record. Name is not so good.

    It's not like the UFC can't do great things when they want to. It just seems like they don't always want to and that's baffling to me.

    Dunno if it was ever in doubt but Vitor Belfort has been licensed to fight by the NSAC.

    The NSAC showed up at 10-to-7 this morning to take The Chris's blood.

    Vitor should be pleased.

    Since Weidman tweeted about it, seems pretty f'n unlikely it will be dirty.

    Chael Sonnen has been tweeting out that JJ vs AJ won't happen. Frontrowbrian tweeted out that Chael believes AJ will not pass his drug tests.

    Is Chael in the know? Or is he just trying to stay relevant.

    And I thought Vitor/Weidman was the headliner?

    If that's the case it truly fucks the LHW division. They might as well let Gusto have his rematch.

    And no the heavier weight class normally headlines when there are two title fights.

    Based on what we know about the NSAC, Johnson may already have failed a test and they just don't feel like telling anyone.

    Yah, I know the heavier weight class usually headlines, but I could've sworn about a month ago that DFW announced that Weidman was going to headline for some reason. I remember multiple threads about it on Sherdog.

    Yah, I am wondering if FRB and Chael know something we don't know yet. Why else would Chael come out and guarantee that the fight doesn't happen?

    Rumor going around and being tweeted by FrontRowBrian that Jon Jones is out of 187. No word yet on injury or because of another situation.

    LATEST ON JON JONES. is in custody in ABQ. 3 car accident.Ran red light. Allegedly under the influence. Jones ran from scene. Cocaine found

    There’s also a rumor Jones struck a vehicle driven by a pregnant woman. I have no information on anyone’s condition.

    The fact that this has gone on for over two hours and there is no word from Bones & his team or Dana & the UFC makes me think that there must be some truth to Jon being in some legal trouble.

    If he wasn't, wouldn't they come out and clear this up as quickly as possible? Especially with Jones' past troubles...
