I think one of the main things the UFC should do first is fix it so there is a consistent fight schedule, same day(s), same time, SAME CHANNEL!

Am I the only one here who finds it pretty inconvenient to go from Facebook to FX to PPV for a single event?

Sometimes FB fights start at 2pm, sometimes 3pm.. FX fights at 5pm, sometimes 6pm.. I tend to miss a fight or two using this schedule

I didnt bash MMA just stating hypocrisy.
so your they type that approves of taking someone like nick or nate diazs prize money while there are other fighters out there admitting to using PEDs?
and if crystal meth wasnt good for keeping peoples sences hightened during combat tell your goverment that because your military has been running on the shit since ww2.
Do you even know why it was invented?

like I said they should either let the fighters blaze right up too the cage/ring, or cut down on doping entirely.

you have obviously never been a high level athleate in any sport, anyone who has competed clean cannot stand doping and the unfair advantage it gives someone. I can train as hard as i want my body can only put out so much, someone who is blood doping or using tst has the ability to push it much farther than myself. the only option to compete at this time is to do it too.

BTW you think sonnen would have laid that 4 and a half round beating on silva the first time they fought without TST? (Wich he had in such abundance in his system it showed in a piss test)

When did I say this? I never thought I would say this but you need to quit smoking bud man. I already told you. Me, you the UFC or whoever don't have shit to do with punishing/fining fighters. It is the athletic commissions. What is so hard to understand? Also doping/cheating is in every sport, so I don't know why you are crying about it. You act like it only runs rampant in MMA.

Yea and I'm sure you have? Let me see you're Olympic gold medals brah. Again you make is sound like I'm/UFC are making the rules. Get it through you're head bro. Athletic commissions run the show. Not UFC/MMA orgs and not the fans.

Well Chael still used TRT in the second fight and lost quickly, so you're point is kinda moot. TRT is legal, like it or not. There are plenty of fighters using it and they don't have to disclose that info to anyone.

Here is where I disagree, Dana should tell the athletic association to get fucked.

So what if the ufc can't fight in the us. Lose some weak ass rules and fight in Mexico. Or wherever ...the $ @ the gate is chump change ...all the money is in TV rights,ppv, and merchandise ....lets go back to if you can kick a Guy in the face head from the ground then your ass can get kicked back in face or head...many dumb rules Luke that need. To go..along with testing for marijuana.

The UFC is an American based company. It wouldn't be good for business if they can't have any shows in the U.S. Gate money is pretty good to them, not every PPV will sell 8oo K. The reason they wanted the rules is because the UFC want to be mainstream. They can't be taken seriously if they went back to No holds barred. It would go back to being called human cockfighting/no more ESPN coverage ect ect. There are rules I wish they could have like Knees on the ground, that's why wrestlers can spam TD's and lay on guys because they can't get punished for going for TD's. It would make wrestlers think twice about going for TD's and giving strikers more weapons. It isn't fare to Strikers at all currently. Testing for Marijuana is stupid and Nick has medical marijuana card but Athletic commissions don't care. Nick should sue the Athletic commission for being lame.

The gate is what? 20k ppl times 75$? Maybe another 25$ in concessions ...chump change....

ESPN is lame, they show results, so what...

I loved watching Don fry or belfort knocking out dudes that outweigh them by 75 lbs.

Another dumb rule is no elbows to head ...I like exciting fights,most do...lotta action, I see way to many early stops .

Elbows to the head are legal in the UFC, I think they're illegal in Bellator though

I would like to see Aldo throw some soccer kicks to the head!

Without giving my name away I played in the WHL wich is the step below the NHL and I also have gotten paychecks from both jeeyus and forum snowboards. yeah no olympics for me but i can assure you i know exactly what it takes to compete.

And like I said and you chose to skim by, but the UFC has a big fucking say in what is tested for and what isnt, reguardless of a sanctioning body. Its like ferrari in f1 they dont always meet regulation entirely but they are always allowed to run because what is lost from them not being there would to to great a burden on the sport.

You seem to be missing the point entirely trying desprately to defend the sport, they need proper testing for all fighters a clean level playing field if you will. You can attack me all you want but I love MMA and want to see a clean even field, If i wanted to watch roided up drama queens id be watching fucking wrestling. If we all had the opinion of you(ie everythings fine, fuck you if you think things could change) this world would be a sad place. I get what your getting at, it happens. but so does child prostitution doesnt mean it needs to continue.

Lol, no they don't. So you think Orgs can just say Test for blank but we don't want you to Test/Punish for blank? You may know Hockey or whatever but you don't know how Combat sports work. If they want to have shows in the U.S it is not a negotiation with the athletic commissions it is handing athletic commissions total control.

Yea I'm trying desperately, informing you that you are making no sense since you don't know how things even work :roll: . Please enlighten me, why don't you think they have proper testing? They pop guys all the time for enhancements/diuretics/drugs. I don't get why you seem to think everyone is taking all the steroids they can and step into the cage the next day. Didn't they catch Chael too? (although that was only because he didn't have permission) So I don't get it. If you are talking about TRT that is perfectly legal. So really, it isn't as bad as you make it out to be. Yes there are cheaters but that goes for every sport from American Football to Cycling. So there will always be cheating but I think they are doing just fine at catching them. You just don't really know whats going on.

Report Anderson Silva would fight Jon Jones at catchweight of 192.
http://sportv.globo.com/site/eventos/combate/noticia/2013/02/em-palestra-anderson-diz-que-deve-enfrentar-jon-jones-ainda-este-ano.html

Pretty pathetic if you ask me, I knew he was gonna come up with Bullshit to avoid the fight. He fights Irvin,Griffen and Bonnar at 205 but won't fight Jones? This is why Anderson is not the greatest of all time to me. Fedor was a chubby dude who fought HW's not giving a fuck. He knows Jones can't make that weight so it's just an excuse for him. He wants GSP to fight him at CW for Anderson's advantage then he wants Jones to go down to where he can't even make the weight. Bullshit brahs, bullshit.

yeah i agree. jones walks around at like 240. its ridiculous to even mention a catchweight at 192 lol...but, i think its going to be a moot point anyway because weidman is going to beat silva.

No way Riddle quits 3 weeks out. He should have. With his weight/body fat % he would most definitely pass a urine analysis if he had! Fuckin crazy to give up that kinda opportunity. I thought martial artists were disciplined?

That's if Anderson even agrees to fight him. He already declined the fight once and after watching UFC tonight they asked him about fighting Chris and he said "It's good for him he is a kid but it's not good for me". It seems like he is gonna duck him again. He is probably waiting to see if Lombard is gonna beat Okami on Sat and if so he is gonna fight Lombard. Lombard is cool but he plays right into ANderson's strengths. Lombard is midget height with T-Rex arms who likes to strike. Nevermind he just lost 2 fights ago, That doesn't matter to Anderson as long as it's an easy win. Weidman is 5 - 0 in the UFC. Terrible just Terrible.

yep, i watched that too. he is NOT in a hurry to get in there with weidman, a guy with big power and dominant wrestling. he wants big fights he says, but it seems like what he really wants is easy stylistic matchups. you are absolutely right about lombard, he is fun to watch fight but is a custom made knockout for silva: short, undersized, aggressive, striker= easy ko for silva.
