Yeah hopefully that go all out and make a show.

Rory and Lawler just don't seem to have personalities. That has nothing to do with them as fighters but even Hendrix had the aw shucks country Texas thing going.

They don't and UFC aren't geniuses when it comes to appealing the casual fan. They haven't been able to solve that problem in years. They literally piggy back off of other people's success. With the amount of money they are banking on Conor they shoulda at least put 1/3 into their "co main event"

UFC suspends Gilbert Melendez one year
The lightweight tested positive for exogenous origin of testosterone metabolites after his bout at UFC 188. Melendez released a statement that said in part: "I did not inject anything, but I am responsible and accept the consequences for the results. ... I am sincerely apologetic to everyone who supports me, including my fans, sponsors and the UFC."

Dude took PEDs and fought like that :scust:

Damn Giblert mighta REALLY blew it because ESPN and Fox might drop the hammer and get :whoa: about him being an analyst too. They said there's a LOT of cats in the UFC on shyt and they might be right :snoop: you'd have made money off me if I had to guess on Gil because I wouldn't believe it

They're catching everybody out here :mjlol:

Don't be surprised if you see a bunch of big names in the UFC move to Bellator by the end of the year because of the Reebok deal and this stringent drug testing.
THIS.

though anderson silva wasnt the first person popped, i believe him being popped is the reason the UFC is going down the road they are going now. . .silva getting popped for steroids/drugs was the worst possible thing to happen, especially for these mid-tier and no name ass fighters!

why silva breh, why? :mjcry:

Giblert messed up this "taints" his public image. I like him too sucks he got caught outta all the other fighters. Wonder if he will be able to fight some place else during the suspension.

Nah silva was an "honest" mistake he took it to rehab. Not to gain an advantage plus he didn't know it was on the ban substances.
