There was but the one old was dead so this new one is fine.

fistfulofmetal · « **Reply #2 on:** June 05, 2016, 10:11:27 AM »

So is he now in both WWE and UFC?

I wouldn't be surprised since Vince basically worships the ground Lesnar walks on.

Trent Dole · « **Reply #3 on:** June 05, 2016, 02:08:21 PM »

Brock got the ok for a oneoff at UFC 200 or something along those lines.

Syph · « **Reply #4 on:** June 05, 2016, 05:42:14 PM »

Yup,

"“Brock Lesnar remains under contract to WWE, however, he has been granted a one-off opportunity to compete at UFC 200. Following this milestone event on July 9, Brock will return to WWE for SummerSlam on Sunday, August 21, live on WWE Network.”"

However, the 38-year-old, who retired from MMA in 2011 due in part to his battles with diverticulitis, isn’t back for good.

Quote

Lesnar, 38, described his recent meeting with [Vince] McMahon during a Monday interview on ESPN’s “SportsCenter.”
“I said, ‘Listen, old man, we can do this the hard way or the easy way,’” Lesnar chuckled. “I said, ‘Do you wanna arm-wrestle for it?’ and he’s like, ‘Yeah, what the hell.’ So, I ended up beating him, and here we are.”

I gotta think Vince didn't really give a shit about a one off, though.

if it's actually for doping and not "just" coke or something, he's gotta be facing a serious ban.
horrible from UFC's standpoint though,...can you imagine one of the potential GOATs fucking up this badly?

Is that Dana White?

And is that what they're using for a press conference? Looks like that podium set up was made by grade school students.

nachobro · « **Reply #25 on:** July 08, 2016, 12:16:32 PM »

Yeah it's Dana from the press conference right after they announced Jones wouldn't be in 200. My guess is they just tossed a curtain up in some Vegas ballroom. Probably dragged drunk Dana away from the poker tables to talk on the internet.

But hey, Silva! This fight is gonna be something else

Syph · « **Reply #26 on:** July 08, 2016, 10:45:41 PM »

Yea that was definitely an impromptu conference.
And omg Silva lol of all the people
Weird matchup too, I hope it goes easy for DC and he just gets his money and goes home happy

agrajag · « **Reply #27 on:** July 09, 2016, 10:57:42 AM »

I feel like this is sort of like redemption for my boy Overeem with all these people getting busted lately. All the shit lords on MMA gaf used to single him out bc he looked better than their favorite fighters. Yeah, like the rest of the professional fighters aren't getting help. Now Anderson got popped, JBJ got popped. The two guys everyone swore up and down are natural talents. And Brock shows up at the weigh in with clear signs of gyno surgery 😁

Syph · « **Reply #28 on:** July 09, 2016, 09:14:28 PM »

Anyone see Joanna's fight last night? Absolute clinic
Significant strikes in the last two rounds were insane

Vince must have breathed a huge sigh of relief.

Literally everyone in WWE didn't tweet about the fight until after it was over, lmao.

Syph · « **Reply #32 on:** July 10, 2016, 01:33:03 AM »

Holding their breath as was I lol
Hunt just needed to land one punch...but he didn't, and Lesnar deserved the win.
I missed the Aldo fight but that fight notwithstanding, the best fight I've seen in the past 48 hours was not on UFC 200...it was still the Joanna title defense last night

Mupepe · « **Reply #33 on:** July 10, 2016, 01:42:05 AM »

I was surprised by how live Silva looked in the last minute of his DC fight.

nachobro · « **Reply #34 on:** July 10, 2016, 11:43:36 AM »

Brock

Nunez

Silva

Cormier

Mupepe · « **Reply #35 on:** July 10, 2016, 12:09:40 PM »

I liked the hunger in Brock in that first round. The other two rounds were solid, but he was gassed and would have gotten it from anyone with some decent cardio. It was a really fun match though.

nachobro · « **Reply #36 on:** July 10, 2016, 12:42:21 PM »

It's a valid complaint. If a fight is canceled because the other fighter misses target weight, there's a financial penalty awarded to the fighter who managed to work within the rules. Mark should get paid and Lesnar should be dinged.

Syph · « **Reply #39 on:** July 20, 2016, 03:20:51 PM »

2nd test failed too

Luckily for Brock he gets to keep the money either way since it was just for showing up not for winning but still shitty

Holly just lost a unanimous decision

She won the first round with a great takedown but overall she just couldn't utilize her boxing as Valentina's muy thai via leg kicks kept the gap large the entire fight

on the flip side, what's Holly's next move? Sit out until a Rousey rematch? Can you even imagine if she lost 3 in a row

She's going to have to jump and take on Cyborg, that's where the money is, and if she by some miracle beats her she's being talked as as a beast again. They gotta give her a layup first though. I dont think Ronda is coming back for anything but a title shot and I cant see Holly holding the title anytime soon unless via Cyborg then title. Also that rematch has lost all it's shine with Holly eating two losses.
