    I just don't understand why people want to see over the hill fighters still try and fight. They never look as good as they did at their prime, and if they end up getting cracked, it ends up being kind of sad. The biggest problem is that these fighters can't retire comfortably or have a runway for them into the next stage of their life after they're done with fighting and that makes them have to come back to try and earn.

    I agree. Good thing 37 is not over the hill for competition especially if fighters were allowed to use science properly. Steroids and marijuana should be regulated, not banned.

    penn says it's just a misunderstanding on his part. Kind of plausible considering how stupid the rule is now and the fact penn voluntarily told them he used an IV

    I believe BJ didn't know about the IV ban. He's in his own little world.

    And Stipe can hit hard! Overeems chin will have to be up for the test, but you know what I said earlier about the Reem 2016..

    hope the card fills out nicely, I'll attend that event. Haven't been to one in a long time. Actually, that is one of the strangest business decisions they have made. Go look at their attendance records by event and it is odd as hell why they haven't been back to Columbus but must be something. The Arnold fitness fest and UFC made too much sense.

    I've been to over 20 live UFC shows. The most electric walkouts for any fight I've ever seen was Randy vs Tim Silvia in Columbus back in 2007. Tito's walkouts were sick too.

    Yup, Looks like Ariel Helwani just got kicked out of UFC 199 and is banned from UFC events for breaking the Lesnar news

    Ariel Helwani Verified account ‏@arielhelwani 8m8 minutes ago I was escorted out of the building by Zuffa staff before the main event. Credential taken away, too. Didn't see Bisping realize his dream.

    Ariel Helwani Verified account ‏@arielhelwani 7m7 minutes ago
    My long-time colleagues @ekc and @allelbows were also escorted out of the building w/ me. Sorry to report no post-fight coverage tonight.

    Dana White kind of let Helwani back? Maybe it was bad for business or maybe he meant that a life time ban was to take the credentials? I seriously doubt that life time ban means..."oh you can buy a ticket if you want?" Guys crazy.

    Wow he almost made a mil for that fight? Yeah he'll fight again if those number get thrown out again at him.. They should put him up against Bisping for the title.. Rematch would make good bank...

    I wonder what Weidman now thinks about that Rockhold loss? He'll surely spank Bisping if they make that match up happen..

    yeah, I was surprised it was that high too. He deserves it though.

    I'm all for it considering the opportunity. Plus, their first fight wasn't a fair match compared to now.
