Uh oh. 

Holm lost to tate. 

Mcgregor gets choked out by diaz 

Brain ortega came out and said he offered to fight khabib on short notice. Damn I wish they had gone with that instead of holloway. 

Quote

While appearing on this week's edition of UFC Tonight, Dana White was definitive that Brock Lesnar is returning to the UFC.

"Yeah, Brock Lesnar's coming back," White replied when asked about Lesnar's future. "I don't know when, but yes he is."

Ariel Helwani of MMA Fighting also lent credence to White's comments: "According to multiple sources, this isn’t promoter talk from White. UFC is confident Lesnar will be back after his WWE duties are wrapped up on Sunday. A deal is in place. Key now is to finalize it."

If he's going to fight again, Lesnar will still need to resolve the one-year suspension that he received from USADA for drug test failures surrounding UFC 200. That suspension was frozen when he retired from mixed martial arts in February 2017.

The only thing I'd say about this, last time Brock's contract expired (three years ago I believe, same time frame, after WM), Dana was 100% certain Brock was returning and it was leverage for Brock to get a good deal with WWE.  He had scheduled a live interview to announce his return to UFC and ended up announcing his permanent retirement instead and return to WWE.  And of course, he ended up fighting in UFC anyway, while under WWE contract.

So you never know til you know.

Confirmed : Brock wins at Mania. 

 

Connor McGregor showed up at media day today and threw a chair through the window of a bus carrying Khabib and a few other fighters.  This was supposedly b/c of an altercation between Lobov & Khabib yesterday.  I'm honestly concerned that McGregor is starting to go crazy.

Well, to be fair, Dana White's comments are probably the least confirmation of Roman's win

he gone.

Dana reported that a warrant has been issued for mcgs arrest. 

I feel like its as much about him being stripped again. Showing up dana is a bad move. Imagine the shift in pro mma if dana and mcg have a permanent falling out and he goes to bellator for serious money. Its about time they seriously stopped all the childish crap that goes on in the lead up to a fight. It was only a mater of time till things really escalated again. 

 

I think it's all a work,   trying to raise buyrates competing against WWE and other entertainment...

 

 

Video of Conor throwing a dolly at the bus.

Ciesa has multiple cuts and is in doubt for the card on Sat (he's back at the hotel cutting weight so he hopes to still fight).  Artem has been yanked from his fight as he was part if the group with Conor.  What a s##t show.

I guess charges start at vandalism and go up from there.

The ufc sure is taking a beating with this, jon jones and USADA. 

How does a guy have such ants in his pants to fight with out a title defense and whose last fight was a sham boxing match for cash?

I could see it being some thing to get out of his current contract. But to raise ppv sales i really dont think so. all this junk is pushing mma back down and away from casual fans. Mcg doent need any thing to sell a fight other then to participate in a match.  He has a ton of potential huge money fights at his feet, floyd in mma, diaz grudge match, gsp, holloway, aldo 2, khabib all could break the ufc ppv record.  I fully believe if they held a ufc ppv event in a soccer stadium in ireland they could shatter every fight attendance record.  He and they dont need this crap.

If the reports are true, his lobbed dolly caused chiesas wounds and a broken knuckle on some one else. dude is in trouble. 

I hope Conor didn't spend all his Mayweather money... he'll need it to cover all the lawsuits coming his way.

Agreed. Huge work. UFC always has been that way. 

 

In custody and expected to be charged with assault. this is pretty serious stuff.

Now if he gets charged and found guilty would that mean he couldn't fight in the USA?

Not an American  lawyer, but I guess it would depend on if it's a misdemeanor or felony assault, someone here know anything more?

He might temporarily have issues but i dont see it being a long term problem.  There are many athletes/musisians/actors that have way worse charges but get a free pass because they generate so much money.

Also depend if UFC head wants to doll out some cash to make witnesses clam up.
