Jim Miller ($59,000 + $59,000 = $118,000) def. Takanori Gomi ($55,000)
Plus a cut of the PPV.
Anderson didnt save 200, people need to cut the bullshyt. Nobody that wasnt gonna purchase the ppv after Jones got popped, changed their minds because Anderson signed on. Im sure DC was gonna make over a million to fight Jones and he ended up making 400k instead to fight Anderson, thats a paycut and he didnt voluntarily take it to save the card. He took it because almost half a million is better than no payday atall.
Also
Hunt says he was injury free so cut that BS as well. And people need to stop trying to downplay what Brock did as if anyone in the division could neutralize Hunt like that. Its kill or be killed with that guy and Brock manhandled him after sitting out for 4 years so give that man his props and stop being salty people

From The Eastside with Love
Estrogen blockers aren’t, by themselves, a performance enhancing drug in the way we normally think of it. An estrogen blocker won’t make you any stronger or faster or give you better cardio. Despite that, estrogen blockers are extremely popular supplements. Why? Because they’re useful as "post-cycle therapy." Update: There is some evidencethat certain estrogen blockers, such as "Clomid," may also increase testosterone production in healthy men. Testosterone is the primary steroid hormone, and increasing testosterone levels would increase muscle mass and athletic performance.
Several "testosterone booster" supplements designed for use as post-cycle therapy also contain drugs designed to reduce estrogen levels because of this belief. The FDA has initiated recalls on supplements illegally containing aromatase inhibitors in the past. These and other banned estrogen reducing/controlling substances are often taken by PED users in order to avoid many of the negative side effects that an unnaturally high level of testosterone would otherwise bring.
Sonnen says Jon Jones popped for estrogen blockers, here's what that means

Taking PEDs is a SCIENCE...If you are not going to do it like Lance Armstrong, then just don't do it, because you will get caught...
so how long of a suspension is he looking at?

Probably 2 years. He can get 4 years, because he tested positive for multiple substances. But, I doubt it.
If he can prove it was a tainted supplement, he's looking at 6 months to a year. But, this is highly unlikely considering he tested positive for multiple substances.

Dude probably got lazy.
Before his first fight with DC his test levels were off, and he got away with it. He was probably thinking he could do whatever and not get caught.

In my opinion, I just think he made a mistake in the cycling process (human error you could say)
Conor looked pissed at cageside, I bet he threw a helluva tantrum when he found out what Brock made 
Speaking of Brock, he better hope the WWE let's him walk away from their contract. If he had his mind set on fighting again he should've never re-upped, he looked good and I give him props for beating Hunt but I still say the top of the division will beat him handily.

It's why I really don't care if he gets 2 years, it's kind of emotionally draining being a fan of his. Every 3 months he seems to get himself caught in some stuper and a scheduled fight falls through fuk him. Seeing him crying at that presser enraged me, it's like he still doesn't get it, how can you be crying when after all the strikes you've skated you still attempted to cheat the system, you got caught now it's time to face the music maybe this time he learns
