welp, looks like its coming. I think it’d be better to get hendricks some cans to crush to build it up, let rory fight lawler, see if gsp comes back and how woodley/lombard come along.
Glad to see Machida handled Dollaway the other night. Classic Machida - the second he hurts you even slightly he just fucking swarms you with reckless abandon.

oh snap he failed a drug test???
Yup it was considered “out of competition” testing since it wasn’t within 12 hours of a match. However, Jones also tested again the night of the fight. Wonder what the results will show?
He will pass the second test. Cocaine tests where they reference metabolites mean the cocaine wasn’t necessarily done recently … it is a remant. If that was a couple of weeks ago, unless he did cocaine again, closer to the fight, he would be clear.

So . . .
Silva/Diaz this Saturday. Who’s ordering and/or watching?
Ordering likely, may go watch it at buffalo yuckie wings if I can’t get a sufficient crowd to justify ordering
Oh and forgot to post this one

cool
do you like going live?
I’ll probably order. Shld be a good weekend - UFC on Saturday followed by the Super Bowl on Sunday.
UFC is interesting
Phoenix Open is interesting
Superbore…? skip
Besides the $10 beers, yes. The experience is a quite a bit different, faster/more dynamic. Harder to see exactly what’s happening though
