Jeremy Botter reporting that Dada 5000's on a ventilator in a critical condition after his heart stopped.

Feel a bit bad for laughing now, but he should never have been allowed to compete in that condition.

There reporting he is now in a stable condition... out of interest do you know how long he has been stood down for?? Not that i expect him to fight again just curious

 

[FTY]

Turns out it's tomorrow carlito.

Sorry lids, I'm an idiot.

@FTY @Little Ralphy

Any idea why tonight's card isn't on BT? Is it on anywhere else?

Hahahaha

Yeah, the people who sanctioned him should feel bad, not the people taking the piss

I feel sorry for dc, he seems like a nice guy and a good bloke to have arounsd your camp , always looking out for his team mates etc but jones is gunna destroy him. Was looking like a beast with all his power lifting he was doing and the mit work i seen floating around with gunner he looked like he could kill. Now of only he can stay outta trouble haha

Jones couldn't knock out a wank mate, no way he knocks out Cormier who took one of Rumble's biggest punches and stood straight up

Haha I had the same issue on Friday when I was looking for the weigh ins etc.

How bad were those bellator mains? I was quite interested to see how shamrock and Gracie played out but should have known better.

RDA may have a broken foot and may be out of 196

Edit: Confirmed out. Cerrone's camp have offered to step in

FFS what a nightmare. Conor should just pull out as well and they move him to 200 for the same fight with RDA or against Frankie at 145.

 

[FTY]

In an ideal world he'd defend his lightweight badly against Edgar but there's no way he makes the weight.

Diaz/Cerrone/Ferguson, whoever steps forward first

Hello lad.

Think he wants to fight again at 200. Too soon for Cerrone to fight again??

I think it’s too big a risk for the Super fight though. Apparently they tried to set up a fight with Nate Diaz when Aldo first pulled out, so they may go down that route again. But if he loses that any Super fight with RDA or Lawler is gone forever, and his legacy even at 145 would be put in to question. A loss to RDA wouldn’t damage that really.


They should just pull him as well, and move the fight to 200, RDA may be fit by then. What is it with some of the Brazilian fighters and their constant pulling out of cards at the last minute? Poor cycling?

Conor is going to love ripping him now. I quite like the idea of Diaz v McGregor. Would be a good fight. Diaz is usually in good shape all year round with his triathlons.

Yeah if they do just postpone the fight, Conor will go to town on him with the hype.
You really have to wonder how much thought these guys put in to their training so close to the fight, when they#'re picking up serious injuries like this.
