MMA News and Notes

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Royce says he's never taken anything illegal for a fight in his life. he just says he has no idea how they came up with the results or what they found and he doesn't care. he says that he has been about 170 lbs his whole career, same size, same build and doesn't need to try to prove to anyone that he's innocent

for me, I tend to believe him. he doesn't seem like he would knowingly take something illegal to gain advantage in a fight. he's got his legacy, he's got money, I don't really see him purposely doing it. I think it may have been a medication that caused the test to fail or something like that.
 
I've never been a big fan of his,never much cared for him wrapping his opponents up in his gi or his style in general,but he did seem to be about the same size throughout his career.
 
yea that's why I think I believe him. I mean, known users or past users, you can look at older pics of them and it's like a different body. Royce now looks pretty much like he did at ufc1, only much older
 
plus hes not very big for a guy that tested positive for something that promotes muscle growth
 
yea I kept an eye on him for a while surrounding the failed test and he is one I give the benefit of the doubt to.
 
Bellator is on tonight.
 
that's right. i'm kind of rooting for the Russian guy. he seems fedor-like. looks nice and all, facial expression is just a blank stare and can mess you up

I need to setup my dvr to record it everytime, haven't done that yet. thanks for the reminder
 
anyways, few things have gone on since the shutdown.

the barao/McDonald fight was pretty awesome. I think it's a good loss for Michael. he's still so young and has neglected his cardio since he's been on a tear. before losing to barao, only 2 of his last 10 fights went the distance so I think this loss will do him real good. he told his corner he was tired after the second round already. slic jits by the Brazilian man. he will finish given half the chance

king mo just got knocked the eff out. he was so hyped and bellator invested so much in promoting him. he needs to keep his hands up more. the guy was countering him and there was a lot of openings. when he had a small opportunity he capitalized with a sweet spinning back fist right to the jaw and mo dropped like a tree.

anyways, kind of excited about this weekend. first women's fight and dan vs Machida. I predict Rhonda by armbar and Machida to dominate and make it look easy. dan will not make it to a decision. his only chance is the H bomb
 
Good to see things back up and running.

I agree with Mcdonald. I think he's only 22 or 23yrs old. By the time he's 28, hopefully he'll be a monster.

The Mo fight was awesome.

I will not pay for a female fight....ever. I'll probably watch the Honda fight with one eye closed.

Jon Fitch got cut from the UFC; kind of crazy for a top 10 fighter. He's not exciting but certainly talented. Can't say I'll miss him though. I can't lie I'll watch Fitch vs. Askren.... hoping for a double KO haha.
