Sigh. The first Lawler/Hendricks fight was good but I have no desire to see that this soon, esp over Belfort/Weidman. Weidman is fragile as hell. Shoulder, knees, elbow. What joint hasn't he injured? And I thought Hendricks wasn't good until 2015?

The UFC and their doctors check up on fighters. I'm sure that faking an injury, especially if you're a champion, is very difficult and not worth the risk.

ufc also tell fighters to say they are injured if they want to change an event to another date/location Frank Mir v lesnar 2 (Evans v machida) was way too booky for my liking

just say you don't watch Dana's vlogs or pre/post fight pressers (where their shameless antics were on display) and call it a day

so bones jones lost his 6-figure nike sponsor due to daniel cormier brawl? :zelhaha:
this fights background just keeps getting me more hyped!
6 figures? i thought he was getting 20k a year from them.
that december ppv card still solid though, i don't see the need to for ufc to have 4 cards in the month of december. why not just add the jds-miocic fight to the ppv
That sucks that he lost his Nike sponsorship over that "brawl"/ "I'll will literally kill you" stuff, did it look bad, sure but it's pretty tame considering half the shyt other sports get away with.
The Nike association was important for MMA even as relatively minor as their visibility was, helped with the look of legitimacy.
All that said tho that should be pretty spirited fight when it happens given the fallout
@arielhelwani: Official: Wanderlei Silva has been given a lifetime ban in Nevada and fined $70,000 for running away from a random drug test.

Cormier gets 20 hours community service and 10% of his purse 10k.
Jon Jones fined 50 grand USD and must do 40 hours comm. service before he can fight.
