I have a sneaky feeling that he might just do it this time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshVilla Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 Paulo Costa is also out. Usman steps in to fight Chimaev. Crazy, but a bit weird. Is Usman going to fight at Middleweight now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshVilla Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 Lots of UFC news today! This one is not good: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.mmafighting.com/platform/amp/2023/10/11/23913573/ufc-usada-parting-ways-2024-usada-claims-relationship-became-untenable-over-conor-mcgregor-situation Quote The United States Anti-Doping Agency will no longer oversee the UFC’s anti-doping program once their current contract expires at the end of 2023. We can confirm that Conor McGregor has re-entered the USADA testing pool as of Sunday, October 8, 2023,” Tygart said. “We have been clear and firm with the UFC that there should be no exception given by the UFC for McGregor to fight until he has returned two negative tests and been in the pool for at least six months. The rules also allow USADA to keep someone in the testing pool longer before competing based on their declarations upon entry in the pool and testing results. So basically, because USADA wouldn't budge for Dana's golden boy McGregor, the agreement between the UFC and USADA will be finished as of 1st Jan 2024. I'm sure that McGregor's piss would've blown that lab to pieces a few weeks ago. He should have to abide by the same rules as everyone else. The UFC needs to move on from him anyway. I think he's finished at the top end of the division (whatever bloody division he thinks he'll be fighting in, anyway). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what does it mean for their testing? Are they allowed to just not test people or they can do it themselves? Which will lead to their stars being allowed to pump themselves full of everything.

avfc1982am Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 Good card. I think as good as Chimaev is it's a matter of time before he get's caught. His defense when striking isn't great in reverse. Has a great equalizer with his wrestling though. I thought Volks looked too top heavy at 155. That weight jump when your a short dude isn't a great idea against a naturally bigger fighter, especially at short notice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seat68 Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 The YouTube boxing phenomenon is infiltrating MMA. The comedian Paul Smith recently fought reality star Jake Quickenden. Apparently this forms part of a forthcoming television show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshVilla Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 Absolutely buzzing for Aspinall. Phenomenal finish against an absolute beast in Pavlovich. I'm not sure what they're going to do with him now though. Dana has said that Jones will still fight Stipe next when he recovers from his surgery (who knows how long that will be?). How long are they going to keep Tom waiting? He's interim champ, he needs to fight the champ next. Jiri v Alex was a good fight but that stoppage was definitely a tad early. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
