I don’t think it was an intentional foul, I blame inexperience. He tried to throw a knee that requires expert timing, and f***ed it up. Never should’ve attempted it at his talent level Agreed.... I think he was gassed and "lost his head", if that makes any sense.

And I guarantee that he's going to use this as an excuse to go through with killing Flyweight. He was very much on Dillashaw's side regarding the stoppage. Of course he was, his perfect excuse to end the division went out the window when Cejudo won so decisively. The stoppage is a convenient cover for him to outright avoid saying it. He may still get his wish tho as Cejudo says he wants to keep the FW division around BUT he wants Dillishaw title now

Henry Cejudo is taking his gold and spitting game at Nikki Bella He's become one my new favorites
I didn't think he beat Mighty Mouse when they won but he's shown he's not a fluke and he got personality
Now watch Dana throw him to the side

Something something "he's not a draw" or whatever while other fighters that are in a more favorable position with management get to be in the spotlight.

UFC’s prelim debut on ESPN did 1.956 million viewers, better then all but 2 main card Fight Night shows on FX/FXX/FS2/FS1. Conor/Siver and Dillashaw/Cruz Fight Nights are the only ones to do better.
Also, ESPN+ apparently had 565,000 sign ups on Friday and Saturday leading into Fight Night

Also, Jones failed his UFC 232 VADA test taken at the weigh ins for 232. But, it doesn’t matter and doesn’t count because he already failed for that drug once and that wasn’t his fault.

My guy must have been cycling hard for a few years for it to still linger in him

Now we wait for Joe Rogan to explain how Jon Jones is essentially clean and that he's a victim of circumstances.

Hes basically microdosing meaning it only stays in the system for a very small period of time and will basically disappear after the fight.

Jack Swagger has his MMA debut Saturday. They even used WWE footage promoting him. I’m surprised they allowed it.

Sounds like McGregor and Khabib are going to work out deals with NSAC regarding their UFC 229 brawl.

So here are the brief details of the McGregor/Khabib deals:
- As expected, Khabib got the heavier sentence since it was his camp that started the brawl at UFC 229. He is suspended nine months dating from that night but it will be reduced to six if he agrees to do a PSA. He is also fined $500,000 which I presume is being kept out of the other half of his 229 paycheck that NSAC had withheld earlier. - Also as expected, McGregor got the lighter punishment. He is suspended six months, also dating to 229, and fined $50,000. HOWEVER.... - NSAC made it VERY clear that McGregor is on a very short leash in regards to what he says or does at press conferences or other appearances and will now start fining him for those things. Khabib has been given the same warning but obviously the focus is on McGregor here, and even as a McGregor fan I think Nevada is doing the right thing in that regard. - Khabib's teammates involved in the brawl have been given year-long suspensions dating to 229 as well.

Let me get this straight, McGregor assaults Nurmagomedov and several other fighters for which he pleads guilty to committing a felony. After that he insults Khabib’s family and also his religion, and he only gets fined ten percent of what Khabib got? This is bullshit. McGregor started all of this.
