    I think it probably is. Many will forget about this in a few weeks. Even so, I would be totally pissed if I bought tickets to go (as you did) so I definitely see where you're coming from.

        agreed..now all the fighters have to change plans and what about those that are traveling to the event and already have hotel rooms etc?

        reschedule Jones and Gus for another date

            Jones likes the juice.. I guess he feels he needs to fight with that edge. Insecure.

            Maybe he thought it would be out of his system by now. He thought wrong. Poor masking job again. Nothing new.

              Jones didn't fail no new test or anything. Just remnants from previous banned substance tests.

              Don't listen to Jibbby he is biased because Jones is black.

                Jones is a sociopath

                  He's a substance abuser as well.. Same old Jon Jones testing positive as usual. Really nothing new to see here.

                  In all honesty it would actually be surprising if he didn't test positive for something at this point.

                      You needed to type: "don't judge people" @ the end of your rant.

                      To illustrate the excellent job you do practicing what you preach.

                            Old news is just like the new news when it comes to Jon Jones.. Same old story ..

                            I do hope he's fighting, the card will be garbage if they pull that fight.

                              what are you talking about lol... to say Jon Jones isnt a bad human being with psychotic tendencies youd just be oblivious or stupid.. hes hit a pregnant lady with a car and ran off, screwed over countless fighters, his family , threatened lives, did drugs over and over again.... hes a selfish bum, no doubt skill wise one of the greatest fighters ever and he keeps getting in his own way, people like this will never learn and itll keep happening over and over again until hes banished from the UFC ...

                              its not judging its facts, hope Gus knocks this fool out

                                He is a garbage person, but still no denying his fighting ability, gonna be hard to bet against him, prolly not the best idea either

                                    no doubt about that, his boxing videos look like he has improved , imo that was the worst part about his game his hands and power .... i would like to see how hes going to control distance not being able to poke the opponents eyes every 10 seconds though if he losses points on the cards and im not sure hes getting a finish here how will that effect the fight

                                      Totally agree that his boxing technique and power punching is his biggest room for improvement

                                        his frame really isnt set up for power imo, would like to see if his power would improve if he ever moves up to HW... his boxing technique does look a lot better from recent videos ive seen though

                                        if he wins hopefully DC wants to fight at HW i think hed have a better chance there

                                              I think it's possible but Jackson Decision seems more likely

                                                  I have a strong feeling that Jones will win this one. I hope this Sunday, may the best man win however Jones has strong chance. Jones vs Gustafsson will be one hell of a match.

When i heard Claudia say it her last fight i fell on the floor with laughter. She is good but hun you are not that good. If Mendez said it i would agree with him but man that chin of his is a great equalizer for Alex. I am really looking forward to this fight and i hope Mendez chin holds up cause this could be a great one. I think if Chad wins it is Zabit next.

                                                                        I think Zabit is fighting Stephens soon but I'd be cool with the winner of this fight getting the winner of that fight.
