Lazlo Woodbine Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Everytime I've caught a bit of Cage Warriors on late night TV, it's been Joe Duffy destroying people. Not really knowing much about MMA, how would you guys rate him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epwar Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Ashlee Evans-Smith failed her drug test. Jesus, we're only a week into 2015 and the UFC is getting brutalized. What the fuck are you talking about? Christ. Can everyone calm down for a sec? If you don't, you're going to have a coronary heart attack by late February. Okay, Aaron Rodgers. I don't know about you but having 4 injuries, 2 failed drug tests (including one involving their current biggest male star), and 1 lackluster PPV in 7 days is pretty brutal. Edit: 5 injuries as I just read Glover is out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 The PPV is tracking well above expectations (>750,000). Ashlee Evans-Smith is 0-1 in the UFC and a nobody ATM. Pernell Whitaker got caught using CRACK COCAINE during his P4P run and boxing more than survived. You can settle down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 As far as Duffy goes, it's hard to say considering he lost on TUF awhile back. I would still say he's still a good prospect and signing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epwar Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 The PPV is tracking well above expectations (>750,000). I'm calling it lackluster due to the actual fights (save the main event for a couple of rounds), not the number of people who saw it. Anyway, NSAC says it was simple an administrative error that they didn't inform Jones of the drug test failure before the fight. http://www.mmafighting.com/2015/1/7/7508009/nevada-athletic-commission-calls-jon-jones-drug-test-failure-an Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It did a ton of business for them. I don't think they give a shit. UFC 94 was awful for the most part but it did a ton of business for them and the main event was disappointing. They couldn't give less of a shit about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scizzy Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Anyway, NSAC says it was simple an administrative error that they didn't inform Jones of the drug test failure before the fight. http://www.mmafighting.com/2015/1/7/7508009/nevada-athletic-commission-calls-jon-jones-drug-test-failure-an It's kind of awkwardly written, but I think the "administrative oversight" was that he was tested for substances of abuse at all. And if Jones was not informed he was being tested for drugs of abuse, UFC would likely be on very, very shaky legal ground punishing him for testing positive for them.

Elsalvajeloco Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 The highlight on that show for me was the disdain Ouali Mohamed and Conan Silveira had after Lyoto knocked Thiago Silva out. Everytime I see the HL or GIF of the actual KO, I look for them outside the cage. Just the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elsalvajeloco Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 I got to find a better one, but this will suffice for now. But that's obviously Conan in the black Tapout shirt and Ouali is in the white on the right of Conan in the frames where Machida tosses him.

Hail Sabin Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Yeah with that one I saw it and it was glorious! The looks on their faces were priceless and made me sad I deleted the show from my DVR less than a year ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie M. Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 MMA suspensions are weird in general. Suspended from what, exactly? Hey, Jon Jones, don't fight for six months! That'll teach you! He'll feel the real heat in terms of endorsements and sponsors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glfpunk Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 I was reading the drug test results where Bones tested positive for coke and his T:E ratio was abnormally lower than an average male indicating a cycling off of testosterone. This was the case on both of the tests that he took. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
