Robbie Lawler is conspicuously unbooked. They could probably use Nick Diaz and whoever to help sell 201 in August which is when his suspension is done. I'm still expecting them to eventually announce Lawler vs someone as the co-main for 200. [Reply]
Looks like Jon Jones will still be able to fight at UFC 197. The ABQ DA is going to ask the judge to extend his probation with 3 new restrictions, while still allowing him to leave for employment purposes.

so because he calls him sir....that means his behavior is OK?
you're correct....saying he stooped as low as bones was too much. me personally....man I'd have been verbally blasting back....bones was a fucking DICK.
but that cops supervisor will ABSOLUTELY tell him....look....don't engage these assholes like that, don't say on my left side and sometimes on my back...don't do that.
The judge went along with most of what the DA recommended, but instead of the 10-4 curfew, he told Jon Jones that he can't drive without permission from his parole officer, and gave him another 60 hours of community service. [Reply]
I'm actually more interested in a fight against Rumble, but I'm not convinced Jones takes that on short notice.

When it was first reported by bjpenn.com, I figured it was bullshit, but I doubt Helwani would pull that. I wonder if the reports of Cormier badly limping at a wrestling tournament last week were true, or if it was just a coincidence. [Reply]

I assume after having to sit out so long, Jon might need to be paid. Dana needs to fill a dump truck full of money and give it to Jon Jones to save the card, I'd still pay to see him fight any top LHW contender. [Reply]
Someone needs to burn that damned gym to the ground, and force all those fighters to move (after they recover enough from training injuries so that their doctors OK them for travel). [Reply]
