I'd be more annoyed about it if Brock was a dangerous fighter who could hurt Hunt. Hunt will probably KO him in fairly short order, but if Brock actually does do damage I'll be interested in the test result.

Both Michael Bisping and Dan Henderson have said they want a rematch as Bisping's first title defense. I can see that happening with Rockhold/Weidman fighting a title eliminator, though the UFC may opt for Jacare instead of Hendo. It'll be interesting to see what they decide.

This so needs to happen, especially in the wake of the post fight presser after 199. Who doesn't want to see this fight?
This fight will sell. No doubt about it.

Pretty sure they've taken it at least semi seriously after Benoit. Doubt Lesnar is taking steroids though.

The Benoit incident had nothing to do with steroids.

Id guess Lensar is at least on HGH and TRT.

Agreed. Brock has to get the take down then the mauling can ensue. He does have incredible size and strength but thats about it. Hunt should be able to take it whether Brock is juiced to the gills or not.

Well, not sure if he'll get it, especially if he's basically saying he'd immediately vacate, but Hendo is trying to get his shot.

Its a fair gripe IMO, and he is probably right that Lesnar is "juiced to the gills"... its the only possible way he can have a good showing after such a long layoff with no MMA training

alnorth 06-10-2016 05:42 PM

Chad Mendes got popped, not sure for what yet

New World Order 06-10-2016 06:14 PM

CM Punk joining the UFC despite not even having a mma fight and now WWE Champ Brock Lesnar is back.

Seriously, it's turning into a circus.

He is probably right but you can't bitch about it and take part in it at the same time.

Why not?
Hunt raises a great point. This goes against all the UFC has done with USADA to try and clean up the sport.

Then don't be a part of it. Seems hypocritical.
This also a very rare situation. I doubt it happens again anytime soon.

Waiving their own testing procedures doesn't seem strange to you?

What's rare about it? They needed a splash for 200 and they don't care how they get it.
