Magnum we miss you around this board.

Give him a tune-up then back in the mix IMO.

Theres big talk floating around Jones will be back this year, possibly within a couple months

Surely not

It has come out that JBJ has recently been tested for the first time this year. There is a loophole which allows fighters to avoid the 6-month testing period before being eligible to re-enter the octagon which means we could see Jones soon if his hearing returns a favourable decision for him. I found this article very interesting. https://www.bloodyelbow.com/2017/12...et-exemptions-from-drug-testing-peds-steroids

Are the UFC keeping 230 Main Event free for Bones' return in his home state?

 

[PoppedCorn]

There was 2 grand tickets still avl the other day
People were going on to certain sites and there was shitloads avl
Obviously now with added cost lol
They were spewing that people were buying up big amounts then reselling

Also read that mid year 2019 they're doing another card here, maybe this time it'll be ppv?

Late stoppage?

That's worse than Mario's best work.

The ref should be shot, along with the guy that's submitting.
The guy getting submitted looks completely out..for ages, with just the odd nerve twitch.

Here as in Australia, no state has been mentioned that I've seen
Melb in late june would be nice tho
Mrs would be happy to do end of financial year sales as well as a UFC ppv

Yair has pulled out. Looks a bit sus considering all that went on when they originally put this fight together. I was really looking forward to this one. Probably a bit to late to find zabit a new opponent

Zabit agrees with you.
Lineker got balls on him! Doubt the UFC will go for it.
