Chael has retired apparently

Apparently so.

 

[Little Ralphy]

Hopefully it will get better. Theres a guy called Cathal Pendred from Ireland who got a free pass into the house because his hype was so big nobody would fight him. I'm looking forward to watching him as his first fight wasn't great.

Edgar v Penn 3 is the coaches fight, can't see BJ winning think he should stay retired.

How is he even fighting at the lower weight? He could barely make 55 as he is so lazy. Although I did see Dolce running with him on twitter, so maybe that answers that question. It should be interesting, I just think Edgar's work-rate is too much for Penn. I agree he should stay retired.

 

[Coach]

Warning very graphic. Ouch.

 

[yelyah]

Absolutely cannot wait for this fight.

The trash talking between the two of them has been amazing.

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

They've made me care about a fight I probably wouldn't have cared about normally

 

[Blue Cheese]

should be a great fight, can see them giving each other hell for 5 rnds, Jones striking against Cormiers wrestling interesting match up.

 

[Azzurri]

I hope Cormier ends him.

 

[Blue Cheese]

I hope Cormier ends him.

I think he's definitely in with a good chance of that, he's a beast. Pity him and Velasquez are mates that would be a great fight also.

I used too like Jones but he seems to enjoy making himself look like a tool on social media.

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

I kind of want Jones to lose now, but I don't think Cormier is going to manage it

I used to hate Jones back in 2012 when he pulled out of the fight with Sonnen which caused the entire card to fold.

Then I began to like him when due to that, he fought Vitor Belfort on the one UFC show I've been to, in Toronto, Canada.

Plus, he's been outstanding living it up as a heel in the build up to this DC fight.

Jones: Hey *****, are you still there?
Cormier: I’m here. I’m here. You are just the fakest person. I actually admire that you can be this fake, and like, when the TV comes on, you can just change. You’re a chameleon.
Jones: I’m a professional.
Cormier: It’s awesome. It’s unbelievable. Unbelievable.
Jones: The fact that you’re a ***** hasn’t changed.
Cormier: It’s unbelievable how fake you can really be. You’re such a f—ing *****. My god. It is amazing. It’s amazing. But hat’s off to you because you have a great PR person. Because they have done a great job training you because you are just terrible. You are the f—ing scum of the earth. You are a terrible human being, but you can really turn it on, huh?
Jones: Thank you.
Cormier: I wish they would let me next door so I could spit in your f—ing face.
Jones: You know I would absolutely kill you if you ever did something like that, right?
Cormier: You could never, you could never kill me.
Jones: Oh, I bet you I could.
Cormier: You should try Jon. You really should try Jon.
Jones: No, I would literally kill you if you spit in my face.
Cormier: Yeah, let’s try that Jon.
Jones: Literally kill you.
Cormier: Let’s try that Jon.
Jones: I’m not saying I would fight you, I said I would kill you if you did some s–t like that.
Cormier: So Jon, do you think I’m just gonna sit there and let you kill me Jon? I mean really.

Love all the hatred comments back and forth me though. Adds to the build up and excitement.

Cormier rattled him there i think.

 

[scott_nsno]

I feel like I'm watching the build up to a WWE ppv.
I value their passion and competitiveness, but to me this whole trash talk, push and shove thing is silly.

On the other hand, it's hyping up an already hyped fight. As much as I've cringed at this whole thing I believe the fight itself will benefit from it. Both guys will go in hard and it should make for a great fight.

 

[FTY]

Jones has turned into a right nob, used to like him in his early days. Seemed a nice lad.

Hope Cormier smashes him up.

Can see him moving to HW in future tbh.

Boo. was looking forward to that. Demetrious Johnson v Chris Cariaso is now the main event. Disappointed but it happens in the fight game.
