For a second I was wondering if I was actually on the right forums

Bit premature to start calling her a piece of shit when suicide is still just speculation.

Like that has stopped anyone on the internet to go that route. It’s almost like the inevitable white knighting that will happen.

Only time suicides piss me off is when there's children involved who are now going to grow up all fucked up.

Otherwise, do whatever makes you happy

That seems like an insane turnaround for Strickland. I guess the upside is that if he wins, he's back in the mix for a possible title shot. If he loses though, isn't that 3 in a row?

i have no clue, but internet says 4-6 months on bicep tear

Aljo can suck a dick until the end of time. Boring AF cheesedick.

I like the sugar show though. I'd make a bet with

Lanx on that one.

A lot of talk about this Ngannou Jones fight,

and Ngannou isn't even under contract.

Jones wanted December. Both Stipe and Ngannou have either turned it down over money-- or are simply not under contact.

I don't think Jones wants the Gane fight if he can avoid it. Stipe and Ngannou have weaknesses he can gameplan.

Gane is on another level right now. But it seems like the money is right.

If I were Stipe I'd value keeping my eyesight over any dollar amount the UFC was likely going to be willing to pay.

I would definitely take Sugar over Aljo and as much as I would like to see Sugar beat up Henry, I think Henry's wrestling beats Sugar's current game.

Isn't Francis technically under contract as the Champ?

I thought it was written into all UFC contracts that if you are the Title Holder after your last fight on contract it automatically extends to another fight?

tldr; In response to the anti-trust accusations the UFC has revised contracts in recent years and there is a 5-year sunset clause that applies even to champion extensions. In Francis' case, it appears he's free basically at the end of this month.
