    Donald Cerrone failed to keep the USADA informed of his location and they showed up at his ranch to test him when he was away. Not sure what the repercussions will be.

    I'm going with Cerrone likely had some out in the country hunting or fishing excursion planned and just forgot/ignored the test time. I somehow doubt he was avoiding them but who knows nowadays.

    Also, i really,really,really,really wanna see this fight and see Cerrone become the UFC champ so I may have some bias here...

    Cerrone will be allowed to rehydrate with an IV post weigh-ins to the chagrin of RDA. Cerrone doesn't have a full digestive system stemming from an earlier accident.

    Conor McGregor said that the LW division needs him because they can't even have their title fight headline a PPV.

    I really hope Cerrone pulls this off. Dude deserves a fuckin title. He might be the most game fighter in the UFC.

    I want cowboy to win too. Not a rda fan. Plus if cowboy wins and McGregor fights him, the pre event shenanigans between those two will be glorious

    I can see Connor getting cattle prodded and then ropped by Cowboy.. that or a shotgun put in his face if he reaches for the belt.

    Connor is such and obviously manipulative dick.. The UFC is putting such a great card on their fight pass to promote their fight pass, not because it wouldn't sell on PPV..but since there are so many ppl who can't think for themselves, they'll eat such bullshit up. (yes I am tired of McGregor's front runner antics... just like I grew tired of Rousey's ego too)

    I hope he does go to LW and faces Cerrone... can't think of another fighter I'd like to see destroy Connor more.

    Not really sure how to respond to that McGregor hate....

    I think it's pretty obvious McGregor knows how to sell a fight. Honestly I think a lot of his trash talk is manufactured to a: play mind games with his opponent and b: get everyone talking about them to make major money. he was pretty respectful towards aldo after knocking him out in 13 seconds. That seems like the perfect opportunity to talk mad shit and disregard all that aldos done right? But all I've heard since he's knocked aldo out are compliments on how powerful aldo is, how he's a great champ and how someone saw them hugging in the back after the fight.

    These fighters should be giving conor a cut of their pay because he's gonna get his opponents more money than they could have ever dreamed.

    right so he's really disingenuous... ie a better version of Tito Ortiz. Talk up the fight but there's no real animosity there... it's semi-scripted wrestling.

    I just don't go for that in MMA myself. Either you despise the guy for real or respect him and treat them as an opponent you want to beat. This in between hamming it up for the event and then totally changing your tone afterwards just doesn't work for me.

    At the end of the day he's a great fighter, I just don't care for how he carries himself.. give me the Diaz bros who are legit pissed at everyone.

    Man... getting a little pumped to see Cerrone win this bout and become the champ....... JDS vs Overeem should be epic too and there has never been a bad Diaz fight IMO.

    Nate and Nick are the kind of guys that take invisible lines drawn in rooms to separate their side from your side completely seriously.

    Diaz/Johnson was great. Diaz's rant was so heavily edited I had no idea what he was saying or two whom. Guess he called out McGregor? Great performance by Diaz.

    Overeem/JDS wasn't very good. JDS is slow and plodding these days. Tactical Reem... can't argue with the results.

    Main event was a bit of an anticlimax. Starting to wonder if Cowboy will ever reach the mountaintop. Seems like he won't.

    Olivera had a nice submission.

    Not much else to say.
