d0ublestr0ker0ll Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Oh, my, god. I was just getting hyped for these fights. The two biggest fights originally scheduled have been srapped. Horrendous. Hopefully the fights deliver. Quality of the actual fights can always save a card. Perhaps not entirely making up for cancelled mega-bouts, my only point is that 200 may still deliver quite a show. Hell, Jones/Cormier may have been a mediocre decision with eyepokes and nobody getting hurt, capping off a night of crazy fights with a dud. Think positively, folks.

DM72 Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Jones being pulled is going to destroy the buy rate. That fight was extremely anticipated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malapropismic Depository Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Seems like the only person that can beat Jon Jones is himself. If that were true, then why would he feel the need to take PED's ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hooper Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 If that were true, then why would he feel the need to take PED's ? Could be he's been taking them all along and just got sloppy -- or the new policy has better tests. MMA is riddled with PED users. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malapropismic Depository Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 (edited) Hunt vs Brock is main event now. It may not be main event, but White said Cormier will definitely fight Saturday, but won't say who, yet. But who would take on Cormier on 2 days notice ? Patrick Cummins ?? Ha. Glover would be a good match. Edited July 8, 2016 by Malapropismic Depository Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StillUnknown Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 That flying knee was NICE when RDA landed on top of him, i was thinking it might have been one of the dumbest moves i've seen, but i landed flush. RDA had nothing left to stay on top of Alvarez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d0ublestr0ker0ll Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 What a crazy sport. Alvarez incinerated RDA. The way RDA has been going gangbusters on the division? The way Alvarez had a tough stretch for a while and before that was involved in straight up wars? Finishing him fast was way off my radar. I'da thought the other way around. Incredible job Alvarez. Put a stamp on that crazy career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put a stamp on that crazy career. Indeed! Also- Props to RDA for getting stone-cold blacked out and fighting like a champ for the next 90 seconds. He never really dropped and was still trying while sleeping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malapropismic Depository Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 (edited) Looks like Tate and Nunes is the new main event. And I see that Cormier asked Dana if he could just sign a waiver and fight Jones, despite the allegations.

Taylor703 Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 DC is a gamer. Dude will fight anytime, anywhere and anyone. He deserves the belt because he respects it and genuinely cares about it. Jones is a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Do Itch Big Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 He wants Jones because if he doesn't then he knows he isn't the real champ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malapropismic Depository Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 (edited) A lot of the devastation must have to do with continuously spilling blood, sweat, and tears over a period of months, only to find out that it was all for nothing. You can see how visibly crushed he was, in his reaction to the news, caught on video at 4:15. I thought he was gonna throw a chair through a wall. Can't blame him for being upset., after doing all the right things Edited July 9, 2016 by Malapropismic Depository 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoCalMike Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 I'm still annoyed at the situation. The Bones/Cormier rematch was either going to cement Cormier's legacy or probably permanently tag him as "other than Jones.....the best" We've been robbed of finding that out. I would have picked Bones to win, but I do think the first fight was a bit closer upon re-watching it. I also think Cormier being newer to the 205lb division was a bigger factor than people might have originally thought. Unless Silva hits some wacky strike out of nowhere, I don't see anything other than him being rag dolled and pummeled to pieces on the ground at this stage in his career. I wish I could go through other scenarios in my head, but nah. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Do Itch Big Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 I too see Silva getting his head pummeled through the canvas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
