Jon Jones will not be partaking in the VADA recommendation of the CSAC.

A lot of people don't like the fact that he won't but I have no problem with it. USADA caught some stuff twice now, and I'd only imagine if something ever happens again that's the end of JJ in the UFC.

Lets get some bets going for the last UFC of the year

Does anyone believe in BJ? he hasn't won in 8 years, he's facing a grappler noob

cats gonna easily put away megan

I doubt Arlovski can pull a win anymore

Chad looked great his comeback fight, but this other guy is on a 5 win streak

man Condit is another on a losing streak but i doubt anyone is gonna cheer for Chiesa

fwiw, valentina says Cyborg is faster than Nunes (she trains w/ her)

really, whos gonna even entertain the thought of the viking winning?

good, cuz it's a bitch ass request. USADA found him innocent of intentionally cheating. Why would you put heavy handed singled out restraints on a technically innocent man.

Because he's fucked up more than any athlete in MMA history? Don't make excuses for him.

I'm all for clean sport, but you can't blame a guy for turning down voluntary extra testing.

I hate that JJ cheated and/or was dumb enough to take something that was not 100% clean etc etc etc/whatever, but with that said the UFC is 1 ,000,000,000,000,000 times better when JJ is active and fighting.

I mean really, how big of a fuck up is jon jones, and yet he has his license to compete.

jon jones made 12-6 elbow famous.

jon jones should def NOT drive, especially while on party drugs, especially while having drug paraphernalia in said car, and tons of cash.

jon jones got pulled off UFC 200 for not roids, but potentially stuff that hides roids, the same UFC 200 that somehow cleared Brock Lesnar to fight, only to catch him doping later, oh and b/c of jon jones getting pulled, we get to see DC do his impression of a beached whale all over Anderson Silva, oh and eventually thespider gets popped too.

jon jones is innocent of intentionally having old school roids in his system

Not getting my hopes up. Learned my lesson with BJ years ago. Think he needs to retire or go elsewhere.

I have more faith in him than I do in BJ. But not gonna hold my breath. Maybe a coin toss?

I have no idea on that one. If I had to bet, I'd bet on Cyborg, but maybe Nunes surprises everyone.

I'd entertain it, but it's one of those ones where I wouldn't bet on it.

Jones is a dirty piece of shit even when he isn't getting caught pissing hot. If the UFC needs garbage human beings like him to be entertaining, then the UFC is beyond fucked.

one of the comments i read from Mir, said he thought it was loose tooth and wanted to pull it out, but that section of jaw all moved.

also on medical stuff
on the early prelims Juan Adams didn't know couldn't fight with contacts
said he eyes are both -270 with astigmatism
any idea how bad that is?
