I don't think Jones has been doping his whole career.
He tested positive for cocaine a couple of fights ago.. so any other banned substance would have showed up.
DC/Silva.. that's an interesting match up. |

I'd like to agree but let's be honest, if he beat DC soundly, sans PED's, why would he suddenly feel compelled to utilize them now? Lots of enhanced athletes get tested and come out clean.

Imagine if Silva beats DC. 
Jon Jones is a fool. I know DC keeps going on about it being PEDs, but I would lean more towards Jones being caught for recreational drugs rather than performance enhancing drugs.
UFC 200 still should be a good card though.

When Jones comes back in 2 years, Dana should make Jones win atleast 2 tough fights before he gets a shot at the belt. but knowing Dana, he'll serve Jones a soft opponent and then get him a title shot.

He gets squashed against Hunt right?
Hunt loves to hit, and has some of the most powerful punches in MMA.
Like many other I respect the hell out of Brock for willing to do this. But man, I see him getting knocked the F out. Bad. Unless Hunt is in poor shape and can't stop Brock once he's able to take him down. |
Hunt took the fight on short notice. He may need to connect early because he may gassed by the middle of Round 1 and Lesnar's camp knows that. I think Lesnar wins a fight by making it boring.

| So Dos Anjos got stopped by strikes from Alvarez. Not surprised -- he's looked like crap since USADA went into effect. |

He's a dude with the crog magnon brow's and his before and after pictures in terms of before his reign and after were pretty eye opening. He was kind of pudgy and then became jacked. He still annihilated Cowboy 6 months ago but then again, if Cowboy seemed to have mind-(bleep) himself out of the fight before he stepped in the ring.
What was it televised on? |

Dos Anjos out of everyone had the most alarm bells. The before/after eye test was the most glaring:

Combine that with the fact that he had a career resurgence in his late 20's early 30's and it does beg the question. It's akin to the glory days of steroid use in baseball when you had average, contact hitters like Luis Gonzalez put up Ted Williams'+Hank Aaron type numbers by "shortening their swings". |

| Honestly, UFC needs to stop with the USADA testing. It's killing the sport. There's no benefit at all from this strict testing. And the suspensions are ridiculous. A 2 year ban for a first time PEDs offender is crazy especially for Jon Jones who is probably the most talented fighter ever. There was nothing wrong with how it was done before USADA. Most are using regardless so it's not an uneven playing field and the fights were more entertaining which is the entire point of sports. |

These guys are beating the crap out each other. Of course we should make sure they're clean.
If guys want to juice they can go to Bellator and fight in Indian casinos, or go to Japan. |

I have no remorse if they give Jon Jones a 2 year ban. I've never liked cheaters no matter the competition. He shouldn't have done it in the first place. |

| Anderson's walkout gives me chills. I don't care if he got popped; took guts to step up like this. Cormier was a terror at HEAVYWEIGHT. |
