UFC 232 - [12-29-18] - Jon Jones vs Alexander Gustafsson 2, Cris Cyborg vs Amanda Nunes

[El Guapo]

BJ Penn is fighting?!?!

 

[krackdagawd]

Long term metabolite yet it wasnt there in the other test they gave him

I'm rooting for Jones but Gustafsson has a very decent shot to win this fight especially if its any similar to the first one. He has superior boxing plus his length and speed is a nightmare.

Jones should employ a heavy wrestling strategy similar to his early UFC days with the Greco-Roman clinch and throws w/ GNP.

I'm rooting for Jones

Do you always root for cheaters and snitches?

What Gus doesn't have is a game-changing strike.

Jon can catch him with an elbow and change the whole fight...I don't think Gus has that kinda strike and I don't think Jon is gonna let himself get caught. He's the most defensive fighter in the ring. nikka loves running away as soon as you decided to attack

I remember when Lance was getting tested and never failed a test. I remember all the balco baseball guys on the clear and the cream not failing tests either.

The drugs are always ahead of the testing.

How do we know that some mad doctor or scientist has created another steroid drug that hides in your Jody and current tests can't detect. But no matter how many times he creates it this 1 long term picogram comes up sometimes on a test.

This is my problem with allowing Jones to test they still haven't found what is the cause of the failure. Where this picogram is being derived from. What substance did he ingest that was contaminated. There have been zero answers provided. The kid is dirty. Every1 knows it. And other ufc fighters and sports have suspended/fined/fired their athletes for the exact same thing before. So now to protect Jones is a clear disgrace. Might as well do Chuck vs Tito 4 tonight with bj Penn vs khabib as co main.

A lot of feelings in this thread about to be straightened out when Jones wins tonight

Jones has a much bigger arsenal but he needs to use it earlier rather than later in the fight.

Do you always root for cheaters and snitches?

No, Jones is the exception.

Brendan Schaub just killed Jon Jones

 

[So UnThotful]

Nunes vs Cyborg should have been promotied way better. And the UFC wonder why they struggle for Stars

Could have promoted this as the Cyborg The Holm Killer vs Nunes The Rousey Killer

This shyt just gets better and better: Novitzky: Jon Jones tested positive for Turinabol in August and September

Novitzky stated that an August 9th test came back clean. On August 29th, a test came back positive for 19 picograms of Turinabol. On September 18th, his test was positive again for 19 picograms. Then his next four tests from late September to early December all came back negative. Finally, on December 9th his test was positive again, this time in the range of 60 to 80 picograms.

Nevada was alerted about this by USADA in early December, according to Novitzky (transcribed by MMA Fighting):

“USADA didn’t need to notify them. They thought, out of an abundance of caution, let’s let Nevada know that this issue exists.

“That’s all good, Nevada gets this. I talk with them, they’re like, ‘Whoa, this is concerning, but we don’t see anything in our jurisdiction here, so I certainly hope that no subsequent tests show up positive because that could be an issue.’ And sure enough, USADA collects a sample from Jon on 12/9, they expedited the results because they knew a fight was coming up and they do that now when fights are close or the collections are done close to a fight, and here he pulses back up to between 60 and 80 picograms.

“There’s some misconception out there,” Novitzky continued. “[The NAC] did not say this fight is absolutely not happening next week. In fact, they, I think, were understanding of these issues but said, ‘Look, optically, this doesn’t look great, and we feel that, out of an abundance of caution, that we need to have a public hearing and be very transparent about this, because this is some weird sh-t.’”

So my first feeling about Jones in the other thread was actually correct

These fools at UFC really think the public is stupid, don't they?

Exactly what I'm saying. The public ain't this stupid. After BALCO and Lance showed the world how easy it was to fool dem drug tests and that the drugs were ahead of the testing. No1 gonna believe anything that usada says.

And the best part still not 1 single recognized doctor or scientist has bee Officially named or stated as saying Jones is clean. You have so called experts who are not doctors or scientists who just say they r experts cous they make money from the drug game saying a bunch of crap.

They know their core fam base enough and I listened to somebody I trust when it comes to this shyt and specifically said he got caught coming off a cycle of tarnibol which is one of the best things to use because your muscles don’t get water weight but your endurance will basically triple in 8 weeks.
