Anything definitive on DC'S knee?

Back by UFC 200 or back by UFCNYC?

Or....neither ?

wasn't it reported that he didn't need surgery and would be back aug/sept

 

[Roman Brady]

I get Hendo being upset, I do but Machida was likely going to starch him either way Saturday and wasn't he himself on "TRT" dating back to Pride

He was straight up just roiding in pride in America is when he started TRT

The UFC ELECTED to remove Machida from this weekends card....and what he has not proven to give an edge.....For once, it'd be nice if Zuffa actually stood up for their fighters.

Let the man fight!!

It's a banned substance, the same way marijuana while not being performance enhancing is still banned. It seems if he kept his mouth shut the fight would have gone on could care less anyway, this was another in a long line of rematches happening lately no one ask for

It's a shame how far down Rashad 's name has gone.

Don't nobody give a shyt about a legend fighting a top 5 guy on live network television.

Despite the losses 2 lil nog and bader which should have never happened dude only has 4 losses which is incredible. If he's fallen out of relevance it's due to the fall of the division itself and the fact he fights sparingly. All in all he's never had the company behind him either, Griffin might be more iconic and Diaz might have more fans but hashad is the biggest success story from TUF

Report: Dan Henderson to meet Hector Lombard at UFC 199
Lyoto Machida's drug testing issues removed him from this weekend's UFC on Fox 19 bout with Dan Henderson, but the UFC is apparently re-booking Hendo fairly soon. According to a report from Sherdog, Henderson will meet Hector Lombard at middleweight at UFC 199 on June 4th in Los Angeles.

Hector about to catch an H-Bomb

The way Dan's chin been fading, I wouldn't even be surprised if Lombard flattens him. Everyone has figured out Hendo's game.

That being said I do want to see Lombard get Bisping'd. I wonder if Lombard is gonna use his Judo :blackplatomayne:

These nikkas fighting on UFC Fight Pass


Alvarez's UFC run has been sorta lackluster but I guess he's a legit opponent on a win streak

 

[LinusCaldwell]

I like RDA vs Alvarez it's a good match up and at least fight pass owners get to eat

I don't see Jones being on 200 tho they push Conor as the best thing they got so he can't afford to take backseat on a poster or not be apart of the last match of the night...
