I'd wager you're right that there was probably more than one contributing cause, but the size of the bloke suggests that he doesn't just hit the treadmill when he's at the gym.

he is solid as, you'd think he's used some form of performance enhancer in one way or another in the past.
although some of the African-Americans have some awesome genectics and look thick without the use of steroids.

who knows, guarantee Kimbo lived that party life tho - but he loved fighting and achieved a lot.
he was a decent boxer, had a win in the UFc and was an internet sensation with the backyard stuff.

more than us average joes can say.

Could have had undiagnosed HCM as well. Many people go decades without having it detected.

Light Heavyweight Daniel Cormier vs. Jon Jones

Women's Bantamweight Miesha Tate vs. Amanda Nunes
Featherweight José Aldo vs. Frankie Edgar
Heavyweight Cain Velasquez vs. Travis Browne
Women's Bantamweight Cat Zingano vs. Julianna Peña

Bantamweight T.J. Dillashaw vs. Raphael Assunção
Lightweight Sage Northcutt vs. Enrique Marín
Middleweight Gegard Mousasi vs. Derek Brunson

That is a awesome card.

200 is massive…
honestly think they were tring to gee GSP up for that card but couldn't seal the deal (heard he doesn't want to rock with Reebok 'cos he's an UNDERARMOUR athlete.... so his comeback is delayed / unknown return) - so they got the next best thing ... LESNAR.

Theyr'e going to make a lot of money from this card, I'll be buying the PPV.

It's a real good card isn't it. I can't wait.

Free card on Fox Sports tomorrow morning. Be interesting to see how Wonderboy Thompson goes against Rory McDonald. That should be a good fight.

Somewhat underwhelming card but can't complain because it's free!
The cards with lesser knowns usually end up being full of excitement.
Lots of Canadians on the card 'cos it's an event in Canada.

Main fight looks like it's gonna be HUGE.
Winner gets a title shot you'd think.

 

[Fade_To_Black]

Well I guess it's as free as you can get on Pay TV Demos haha!
Will be an interesting fight between Lawler and whoever wins out of MacDonald/Thompson.

 

[Demps]

Rory VS Wonderboy fight was a disappointment IMO.
Great card otherwise.

Not a fan of Wonderboy's style… too much running.
I think he'll lose his next match anyways.

The female fight was GREAT

 

[GNR4LIFE]

ALSO;
BROCK LESNAR RETURNS FOR UFC 200!

Will be hilarious if he loses. Vince McMahon will be beside himself.

Agree that the main event was a disappointment. Guys like Thompson whose main offence is focussed towards kicks will always want that extra space away from their opponents so there is always the chance that the fight will degenerate into a face-off with very little action. IMO Thompson would beat Lawler, wler loves blokes to just stand in there and trade with him but Thompson's game plan of keeping distance would frustrate Lawler into mistakes and trying to force the issue.
The chick's fight was a good'un, Latourneau showed great heart to get up from the knockdown in the 1st round.
The light heavyweight stoush was easily the fight of the night.
Bring on UFC 200 in a few weeks time.

 

[stevetiger]

I reckon Thompson wins the title if he gets a shot. That wasn't a good fight but to be fair to him most of his fights have been great.

Big weekend for UFC fans…

Friday - Dos Anjos vs Alvarez card (Free)
Saturday - TUF finale

Jon Jones removed from UFC 200 due to potential doping violation!!

Lesnar Vs Hunt new main event unless they find a new opponent for DC. Damn sucks for Cormier, biggest pay check of his career gonee.

 

[stevetiger]

That is big news. It sucks as well.

 

[Fade_To_Black]

Stipe Miocic has a fight coming up soon, he would be in fighting shape. Throw him in there against DC.
Either that or chuck Nick Kyrios and Bernard Tomic in the octagon against Lesnar and Hunt in the UFC's first ever tagteam bout.
I would happily pay a week's wages to see Kyrios get the absolute stuffing beaten out of him…...by anyone!

 

[Demps]

Bones out?
Damn, had a feeling some one would pull out - thought it'd be Mr. Always injured Cain Velasquez though.

Was looking forward to the Bones vs DC fight, Bones woulda smashed him.
#LAME

 

[Fade_To_Black]

Anderson Silva announced as Cormier's new opponent.
Hope Silva doesn't dog it like he did against Bisping. Can see this being a very boring fight TBH, Silva will prance around keeping his distance and offering nothing in the way of offense attack and DC happy to attempt a few token takedowns. Expecting a yawnfest in this one.

 

[stevetiger]

I just checked if Silva vs Cormier is confirmed and it looks like it is. That is an awesome fight. I think better than Jones because I thought that Jones would smash Cormier.

I can't stand Jones though. He is the fakest person ever.

 

[stevetiger]

How good is the card.

The early prelims look like great fights.
