    Oh s--- forgot to DVR Bellator tonight.

    Card starts at 9 ET

    Darrion Caldwell vs Joe Taimanglo
    Melvin Guillard vs David Rickels
    Bruna Vargas vs Emily Ducote
    Daniel Weichel vs Emmanuel Sanchez

    Darrion Caldwell is probably the best P4P fighter outside of the UFC. It's too bad he re-upped with Bellator for 8 fights, but I guess he intends to run through those fights in 2 years and then come to the UFC.

    That'd be rough getting suspended for 2 years. Hope he saved some of that money lol.

    Think he made 500 G's for the McGregor fight, he should be good.

    Edit: Jon Jones' brother Arthur who plays in the NFL was just popped for PED's and was suspended for 4 games (25% of the season)...

    Nobody 10-15 really has a huge win. Elkins is ranked 11 and is 9-3 at FW and has lost to Mendes, Stephens and Dias.

    Oh s---, they just announced UFC's coming to Portland Oct 1st, I'm gonna try to go to that s---. I know UFC tickets are pretty expensive, but I'll at least go upper deck or something.

    Can't find much info about the show yet, the venue's website doesn't even have it up.

    Still wishing for a UFC card in STL. We get Bellator pretty often but I never get to make it to those shows. Hopefully the next time they come through I can

    Honestly it's really nice to hear a fighter who straight up tells it how it is, doesn't give a f--- about the consequence... because let's face it, he's pretty much 100% right. But what I find funny is how Dana and co tried to pay him off a few years ago to walk away and he said "no I want to fight" but now a few years later "no they all cheat I don't want to fight" as if they weren't juicing a few years ago :wth:

    A couple years ago Mark Hunt was stumbling off a barstool into the octagon and getting subbed by Big Sexy McCorkle and had like a 5-7 record. Don't really blame the UFC.

    Ehhh, I wouldn't call him 100% right. He raises solid points about the UFC exemption clause and fining cheaters, but little else holds water. The UFC is the only org in pretty much any mainstream sport with legitimate drug testing. There isn't a rule in place that says they should award him any of Brock's purse. He was perfectly fine with Brock being a cheater ahead of time. He's fought in worse organizations steroid-wise than the UFC. It'd be different if the UFC had proof of him being a cheater ahead of the contest, but there's no evidence of that. Not to mention they risked their biggest card of all time by enforcing the rules on Jon Jones which kind of goes against a lot of what people have a problem with.

    Rogan announced he resigned with the UFC for another (w/ the possibility of further extending it) but he'll only be calling domestic PPV events
