For the long term health of MMA as a sport title fights must be considered more important than non-title fights; it does not matter how much of a circus atmosphere surrounds the non-title fight.

Likewise, a title fight is more important than a fight for a temporary belt created due to the real champion getting into a motorcycle accident or the champ getting into a contract dispute or the champ screwing around at higher weight classes.

Both the Lesnar/Hunt and Edgar/Aldo fights will probably be more exciting than Tate/Nunes; i think the UFC is making the right move with Tate and Nunes in the main event. Is this a sport or is this closer to the WWE where all that matters is entertainment value? I prefer it as a sport.

Ironically, the WWE's best "fake angle" is the proposition that the greatest forty pro athletes in the world today are all in the WWE; they are all vying for the coveted WWE World Title; this title proves who is "the greatest professional athlete in the world today". For decades the WWF wanted you to believe its a sport.

i'm trying to use semicolons more.

so Tate v. Nunes is now the Main Event of UFC 200

a women's title fight is the main event for the UFC's flagship event...
whoda thunk it?


No wonder they're trying to sell the UFC S:

I wonder how many people already bought the PPV thinking Jones would be there (can you get a refund anyway?)

And I agree, that's like the worst UFC main event since UFC 191 lol. Smart of them to realize that Hunt vs Lesnar really isn't hyping people up. Like I said though, they have no headliner, just 5-6 really good fights.


im sure u can refund ppvs up until they start

not with Ronda Rousey at ringside watching the main event; then she steps into the cage and challenges the winner at the end of UFC 200 to set up UFC 205 in NYC.

Miesha had to go nude to make weight and did so 2 minutes after the morning "weigh in window" ended. Technically, NAC could've cancelled the Tate/Nunez fight if Tate missed weight. so she got totally nude to be 100% sure she made weight. LOL

http://www.mmafighting.com/2016/7/8/12130682/miesha-tate-nearly-misses-weigh-in-window-fight-with-amanda-nunes

"Nevada Athletic Commission executive director Bob Bennett said if Tate or any other fighter missed the two-hour window, that would be something he and his team would discuss with the UFC and hope to resolve. However, if a fighter missed the two-hour window and then missed weight as well, the fight would likely be off, he said."

And there goes the hope that sample a testing positive was a mix up.

the way the procedure works..USADA won't say until JBJ says .. or until adjudication of the case begins. Once adjudication begins USADA puts its cards on the table.

JBJ's manager revealed its a metabolite of some kind.

Last year JBJ had shady testosterone numbers in the USADA pre-fight test. Numbers that were not illegal, but many considered to be indicative of synthetic test/PED use. Belfort the same situation before he fought Weidman. Also, in the Jackson-Wink camp there is another fighter that shows signs of elevated testosterone.

i think Jackson-Wink are expert combat sports trainers and they are also expert level cheaters that know how to cheat without getting caught..... well most of the time

in my experience, very smart fraud artists rarely or never get caught; JBJ has been "accidentally" eye-poking guys his entire career. As big of a piece of garbage as JBJ is.. .he is a way better actor than Ronda, Miesha, or Gina.

i'm on the fence as to whether its a DHEA tainted supplement or they caught a masking agent designed to hide something that elevates testosterone levels. We need Judge Judy to interrogate JBJ and get the real truth out.
