Man Conor even says he didn't hit him that hard. What are you talking about? It was a flash KOYou really looking for Aldo to come back that quick after getting KO'd stiff like that
Aldo shouldn't fight again until July or so IMO. I don't like seeing guys fight quickly after bad KO's
The thing with Vitor is that he's Lorenzo's favorite fighter and they're good friends. That's why he was allowed to sit out for that title shot for so long even after his testosterone was off the fukking charts. Then after he showed up in the worst shape of his career, they conveniently cupcaked him with an ancient, shot chin Dan Henderson in Brazil. So, I wouldn't put it past them to make that fight.

Conor broke his wrist with that punch, tho...Man Conor even says he didn't hit him that hard. What are you talking about? It was a flash KO
I didnt say he didnt deserve the shot, I said I'm not interestedHe has more then a punchers chance.He only gassed because he was trying hard as hell to finish Jacare. He could come out of no where with a fight ending strike and he could easily outwrestle. And I'm not even picking him to beat Rockhold but to say he doesn't deserve a shot based off his Cardio but Jacare or Vitor
does is laughable
I dont give a shyt about what fighters deserve, I care about my entertainment. You think Yoel has more than a punchers chance? Cool, I dont.
I think Cormier could easily mimic his style for Luke and Luke would come in even more prepared then he did for Weidman and it would be a MUCH easier fight. I've got no interest in that shyt

Fair enough but people did have questions about Weidmans gas tank aswell
Chris took a lot of damage in that fight. I doubt we see him any earlier than late Summer, early fall. They usually prefer not to match up two guys who just lost as well, but it makes the most sense. Vitor might end up getting a shot because he's a bigger name than Romero, and there's already a built in animosity with Luke. It would be a complete sham of a fight but it's highly likely.

With that provided they still wish to do the Silva rematch (like it really needs to happen again) I think vitor should fukin retire before he does himself some serious harm
Tommy Knocks
retired
KOs are an automatic 6 month medical suspension per NSC
I checked on boxrec how long Badou Jack sat between his first round ko and it was about six months but I thought I'd seen someone come back earlier than that. Thanks for clearing that up.

@TheLukieBaby did say he didn't like Brazilians chances post theses usada tests. I will bring up a conversation I had with a UFC pre these tests who fought a Brazilian on my next podcast and it's really interesting.
I like how Joe is trying to get in front of his comment about Jose Aldo looking nervous.

Tweeting this got me blocked just now from Brandon Schaub. If y'all got Twitter retweet this to him lol. He was talking about drug testing and how Rafael will look different and how Aldo did too.
