looks like Jeremy Botter was correct on the UFC sale thing. the UFC and Dana did a nice job trying to smear the guy though. the legal threat was pretty cool. He got it correct and nailed it before Meltzer; when it comes to financial matters out-doing Meltzer is rare feat.

Botter got slagged pretty hard and it turned out he was correct. Where are those loud-mouths now?

they have to deny until the UFC's HR department formulates an internal communications strategy regarding the sale. At that point the UFC will go public.

McGregor is never going back to 145, so there won't be a rematch.


McGregor said in the UFC202 press conference that the 145 pounds division is "his division" and he will come back to defend his title. If this means a re-match between him and Aldo, I'm super pumped for that ^^


Conor spews a lot of rhetoric during press events. Mcgregor also says he is buddies with all his fellow gods; he is good with jesus because gods recognize gods. Conor had a rough time making 145 when he was 24; the older he gets and the heavier the gets the harder it will be to get himself back down to 145 again. He is in for one brutal weight cut if he tries to defend the featherweight belt again and it will be a factor in his next 145 lb fight.

the UFC.com web site says he is a welterweight. UFC.com is even more reliable than wikipedia, reddit, and Ariel combined. Nate Diaz has always been a welterweight. you and jeremy botter are nothing but big liars.

The fear with MCgoat is he is a giant FW who had trouble making weight under the old rules. With the new ones it will be a real struggle to make it. And if he gets dummied again by the 6th ranked LW his star power is going to drop tremendously if he can't make it back.

No IV anymore but they have early weigh ins. Still, it probably doesnt make up for it. One has to wonder how much weight MCgoat put on for this fight.

I really wanted a bigger opponent, like Nate Marquardt, or King Neptune, or Zeus, or Zeus and Fedor, or Fedor on Zeus's shoulders, and they can both punch but only Zeus can kick.

Chael Sonnen claims JBJ tested positive for 2 estrogen blockers. Given, JBJ's suspicious Testosterone levels... and his unusual Test to Epi-Test ratios.. and given how unusual it is for estrogen blockers to taint nutritional supplements...

JBJ is a PED user.

Sry Jon, if you had done absolutely nothing wrong ever.. a few people might let this slip. Your checkered history makes it impossible to once again give you the "Steve Howe Pass" on this one man.

JBJ uses PEDs to enhance his performance inside the Octagon and deserves a 2 year ban.

Bye Jon.

According to Meltzer , the UFC 200 buy rate is tracking to do less than recent Rousey and Mcgregor cards.. and less than UFC 100.

the UFC did a nice job of making sure any tests on Lesnar couldn't come back in time to knock him out of UFC 200.
i wonder if Lesnar will be suspended by the WWE in accordance with its "wellness program"

Not sure how much of an influence they have on this. Jones wasn't flagged until almost a month after his test? Surely the UFC would have liked to know sooner.

the control they have is in waiting to officially sign Lesnar to a deal. USADA can't test until the athlete is under contract. the closer the signing is to the fight date the lower the chance anything comes back in time to stop the event. other than that, i think they have zero control as you've alluded to in your post.
