Khabib's camp said that the UFC has offered him $15,000,000 to rematch Conor, but Khabib wants $30,000,000.


As we all have assumed, the UFC is killing off its Flyweight division. They recently cut Flyweights Jose Torres, Roberto Sanchez and Jared Brooks, and Lando Vannata chose not to renew his contract.

Guuuuuuuuuueeeeeeessssssssssss who pissed dirty . . . AGAIN . . . . Jon Jones!

Dude got caught taking banned substances AGAIN, so the Nevada State Athletic Commission now refuses to license him for his upcoming rematch with Gustafsson at UFC 232, so the UFC decided to move the whole event to California [Los Angeles], where Jones apparently will be granted a license to fight.

The UFC is letting a fighter compete when they 100% know that he has been using banned substances, just like in Mark Hunt's fight with Brock Lesnar.

Gustafsson should decline the fight and tell Dana White and Jon Jones to go fuck themselves.

Too ****ing right he should but I'm not surprised at Dana' decision here.

We all know he isn't above shady practices in favour of the dosh.






A whole year and he still had traces of the substance in his system?

I call bs, he's definitely been using again.

He can blame it on tainted supplements, tainted dick pills, people spiking his meals, whatever . . . But when you are paid millions of dollars to do a job, you know what to do and what not to do to get that job done correctly, especially when so many other peoples' jobs depend on you doing yours correctly.

I swear to god if Joe Rogan comes out defending this dude again, I'm done with him.

There a sooooooo many supplements and vitamins and shit that you CAN take and that are completely legal. Go to Japan if you wanna be a freak show.

Lmao what a joke they let him off the hook 2 times and he does it again...Smh meanwhile people who had their first offence got more time than he ever did (see Frabricio Werdum got 2 years for first offence)

it is undeniable that Jon "Juiecehead" Jones is a cheater he can never be considered for greatest of all time discussion i don't care what his record is if you're a cheater you get disqualified from that discussion. This whole thing is a **** show and if the fight is still on i hope Gustafsson KO's him brutally

If I was Gus, I would be telling the UFC that I want WAY more $, seeing as how he is well within his rights to decline the fight. If the fight goes on as planned, Gus is basically doing the UFC and daddy Dana a HUGE favor, and he should be compensated justly.

So, BJ Penn [16-12-2 MMA, 12-11-2 UFC] is fighting at the upcoming UFC 232 PPV. He is coming off of a year and a half layoff. He is on the heels of 5 straight losses and a draw before that. He hasn't had a win in over 8 years.

What do you guys think. Time to hang it up?

[Akai]

Last fight I saw Penn in the the Siver fight

Looked bad, leg ****ed, heard he doesn't really care for training and clearly neither do his coaches

He's defo a lot slower now and I heard he wasn't planning of another fight earlier in the year so his aspirations in the sport can't be that high

I say he hangs it up
