As to Jones DC, I was really disappointed in how DC seemed to lose his heart after Jones took him down in the 4th.
Fight night on the 18th is looking very important now. McGregor has already been promised a title shot if he wins. On top of that, now if Cowboy wins the co-main, its going to start looking just really absurd if he doesn't get the next title shot. [Reply]
There will be no sanctions of any kind. Apparently under the WADA rules, cocaine is not a banned substance if during the out-of-competition time period. The positive test was a while ago, and was considered an out-of-competition test.
The NV commission is going to discuss whether they should break from WADA and make cocaine a banned substance year-round. [Reply]

Not that it matters. Cerrone is not beating Henderson. [Reply]

He has a small chance of keeping up with Henderson, but I can dream.
Yeah, he's a fan favorite, and I can see why. Unfortunately the first fight I saw him in was his WEC fight against Jamie Varner where they were both douching it up pretty big. So, I've never been a fan. His recent string of wins has been impressive, especially with guys like Barboza, Alvarez, and Miller on the list. Taking a fight against Benson Henderson on 15 days notice is not a good career choice though. [Reply]

Isn't weed a banned substance? Didn't Diaz get suspended for a year for weed? Maybe I'm remembering that wrong.
If so, how is weed a banned substance and cocaine isnt?
