Condit v. Maia @ UFC 202. http://www.abqjournal.com/799547/mma-condit-to-return.html hopefully, this clears the way for Stephen Thompson to get the next shot at the WW title after UFC 201. | ||

If it's PED-related, that means he would have to miss his age 28-30 years from fighting. That's unfortunate. | ||

He didn't get an exception from drug testing. He got an exception from the 4 month notification because they only recently worked out the contract. He already been tested multiple times. | ||

"meh" Sure, it's a prize fight specifically for UFC 200, no doubt. I don't see how you think it won't affect the rankings though? If Hunt wins, he's got a victory over a former champion, if Lesnar wins, he'll have defeated one of the most dangerous HW's currently out there. He's still under contract with wwe of course, but they have already let him fight this time, I don't see why they would hold him back. I'm pretty "meh" as well overall. As far as I know the exemption Brock got was totally within the rules of the USADA, which is what made it laughable to begin with. | ||

I mean it's still a good card with plenty of big fights, just no single "WOW" fight. Only things that would classify as a wow fight are a McGregor, Robbie Lawler, or Jones fight... So too bad they missed two opportunities to have McGregor or Lawler on. Oh well, I'll be watching UFC 200 anyway, I hope Cormier gets some opponent. | ||

guys like Frank Mir, Nicklas Backstrom, and Chris Collabello have tested positive and these guys sounded really sincere and they made me think that possibly they are innocent victims of administrative minutiae. None of these guys were in a hit-and-run accident... none of these guys are criminals. i really want to believe JJ just bought some tainted/contaminated supplements and he is innocent... but his track record..... man... i just can't believe him no matter how much he cries at press conferences. its in moments like these when your track record has an impact and now JJ is paying the price for his past transgressions. Hopefully, it is something like bad supplements and we can see JJ in 2017. http://espn.go.com/mma/story/_/id/16863873/jon-jones-one-greatest-pound-pound-fighters-ufc-history-biggest-opponent-mma | ||

While the "WOW" fight for hardcore fans was DC vs Bones, Aldo and Edgar are still on this card to scratch that itch. | ||
