    This is what they get for taking Connor off the card

    If they just accepted his terms for less media obligations than:

    - UFC 200 still has a main event
    - UFC 200 100% breaks 2 million buys no question
    - We'd still have JBJ

    Everybody would've won but nope, no we all taking Ls tonight (beside Brock who'll end up main eventing both 100 & 200)
    Aren't Rumble & Glover scheduled for 202?

    According to Jon Anik, Brian Stann is willing to take the fight

    not the first time they've pulled someone from another card to fight on PPV. Cormier was scheduled to face Ryan Bader when Jones went out before UFC 187 anyways.

    I'm not even talking about at 200, im saying LHW in general. If DC won they would have done a trilogy and if Jones won they would still have a Rumble fight and a Gus rematch....

    Now they are gonna force a 2nd Rumble fight on us after he beats Glover. They re-booked that fight for UFC 202, should honestly just pull Glover and have him get the next title shot now. Either way Jones just murdered the division.

    Ariel Helwani said this was from a test on June 16th, why does it take so long for a huge company like UFC to get the results? Seems this could have been handled and long done with by now.

    UFC has nothing to do with the testing

    it was conducted by USADA, I guess they run a ton of tests. I dont know why but it always takes about two weeks to get results

    I'm a Brock fan and all but the new main event seems really underwhelming for a big show like 200..

    I'm more excited bout the Miesha fight tbh.

    For a last second replacement it sounds about as good as it can get. Card is still stacked to the ceiling 11 fights deep. Cat Zingano knocked out Miesha Tate and the chick shes fighting and shes not even on the main card.

    Lesnar will get murked. UFC 200 in shambles now. I only care about Edgar v Aldo now. Tate will be fine too.

    Conor and Nate are in Vegas tomorrow for a press conference for UFC 202. BET somehow Mystic Mac comes in and saves this f---ing card from being mediocre as h---. McGregor probably laughing his a--- off right now.

    Jones had f----- testosterone ratios back when that journalist got his documents from the cocaine test. I've seen this coming and yet I didn't expect it to be at the worst time imaginable. I swear a boxing promoter slipped USADA a check for this one. So that's a 2 year suspension and DC will be ancient by the time he comes back. This assuming no """tainted supplements""" and a positive B sample of course. I'd rather they put Edgar-Aldo or Tate-Nunes as the headliner just because I assume Lesnar-Hunt will be over in a couple of minutes. It might be a bit anticlimactic, but it makes the most sense financially so I can't complain. This sucks, but the weekend is still packed especially if you take into account Lion Fight 30 and Max Muay Thai on Sunday. This news killed my buzz a little, but I'll forget about that a few fights in.

    Imagine if Jones didn't have all this bull s--- going on. He's basically in his prime and now is facing a potential 2 year ban. As much as I dislike him, I'm hoping it's a false flag
