I hadn't realized Cejudo/Dillashaw was a Fight Night. Insane this isn't a PPV headliner.

[Oiky]

Yeah, Cejudo-Dillashaw is a cracking fight

[Tinnie]

Benavidez vs Ortiz is on the card too, not sure if that means they are hanging about to move up, or if they are just fighting out their contract obligation.

Kinda surprised to see Ostovich back so soon. Dont know the full extent of her injuries, but considering she was rushed to hospital and her husband was charged with attempted murder, i think its safe to assume it was a significant assault.

She insisted on fighting to prove a point. Straight up begged Dana after he pulled her from the card.She had a broken orbital among other injuries. Inspiring woman.

Can Jones be considered the GOAT when he has been caught twice pissing hot? We don't know how diminished he might have been if he wasn't on peds.

Also, how soon, if at all, do you think he will be caught pissing hot again? Do you expect him to stay clean from here on out? I for one don't. If the testing agencies that test him are on the up and up I expect to hear he got caught yet again.

Listening to a bisping podcast the other day and he says jones is fumin with him for askin a questio about pissin hot again,he says fox have a list of questions they want them to ask and the one he asked was "if you failed the drugs test before this fight and you say it was from the test before isnt the one after this fight gonna fail too?" And jones skipped past it without answering it so bisping asked him again and he still ignored it but i think bisping is right,if he has failed then he will fail again. Ufc,usada and wada should ban him for life end of story,fckin drug cheat

Inspiring indeed.

I respect her resolve. Good on Dana in showing her faith to make that call. No doubt she is working with medical professionals, but can't help have concern for her physical and mental health coming into this fight. Wish her all the best though, and win or lose I hope she gets up and puts on a good fight .

Dana also checked with her about having Greg hardy on the card. He handled this one well.

[p4p1]

It's great to see when people refuse to become victims. Hopefully this doesn't effect her performance or more importantly her life too much in the future.

I say this without trying to be a dick but I hope that a hard strike doesn't cause her to have some sort PTSD issues mid fight. She's obviously a strong person but mental illness doesn't care how strong you are when it decides to cripple you.

[Tinnie]

PTSD and concussion were my main concerns

[Oiky]

Good luck and All the best to her

[Tinnie]

Ufc 235 is looking stacked

[p4p1]

Ufc 235 is looking stacked

I'll say.

[Oiky]

Yeah good card!

[p4p1]

Some good fights coming up this year though.

Rogan had a good chat with Din Thomas on his podcast the other day. I'd actually forgotten about him, he was a great little fighter in his day. Now a trainer at ATT.... workers with Mike Perry and Amanda Nunez among others. Good to see he is still involved with mma.

At one time they were discussing the issue with scoring and judges.... Rogan recounts a fight where a fighter had his opponent locked in a kimura.... and a female judge turned to one of the other judges and asks what the fighter was trying to do .... I mean, that's just utterly ridiculous....

It seems like that not just in MMA but in boxing as well. I'm not sure what the judges are taught to look for but when they see things or score things radically different to trainers and fighters (and then use the excuse that the fighters/trainers don't have the same level of training as them for judging) there is a massive problem.

Training of judges is clearly an issue in combat sports.

All judges referees etc etc should be past players or fighters in every sport,they know what to look for and how to score a fight

Dya think?

I know so. I'm talking about fighters in particular. They're the worst to talk boxing with 8 times out of 10.

10 predictions for 2019. They will all come true except for Anthony Johnson.

[Tinnie]

Well Dillashaw's ego came out looking like it was jacked up on Jon Jones' dick pills. T.J. paid the price. I certainly sold Cejudo short before the fight.... full props to him.... extraordinary win.....

They should not have interviewed Dillashaw post fight... he did himself no service in his complaining....

[jujigatame]

Thought it was an early stoppage. Cejudo's career has benefited from a lot of bad ref/judge decisions. And I still think it was total BS that DJ didn't get a rematch.

No they won't!

It was subjective. I can see Dillashaw fans having issues with it. But Cejudo wasn't giving TJ any time to recover and TJ was looking like a bobble doll. TJ was on unsteady legs while arguing with the ref just after the stoppage.
