By any chance did UFC finally open an office in Toronto, if so, does anyone know where it's located?

Great Bellator event taking place in Windsors this Friday. Pretty stacked card, with some exciting fighters!



Tickets are usually pretty cheap, $150 can get you cage side.

Not surprised at all. It is not hard to beat a test when you know when it is going to take place. Random testing is the way to go, other guys will either have to stop or fear getting caught if they are unlucky.

If reem was tested post fight - I am certain like his other fights he would have tested clean. What he got caught with was a high level of Testosterone. You boost it via supplements which just increase natural levels, but it also leaves the body naturally and if timed right it is certainly easy to avoid getting caught. Random testing is a much better way to deal with this.....

When you take the anabolic roids, that stuff adds unnatrual stuff to your body, so you have to cleanse it out to not get caught. Much harder. Especially with random test times - but from my understanding the reem did not get caught with that.

Just finished watching UFC Primetime Jones Vs. Evans part 1 and I'm so pumped for this fight.

[glover78]

I want to bet (a small amount) on Rashad. Where can I do that?

[hiyatran]

They might put Velasquez Vs. Mir on the UFC 146 card with Overeem Vs. Dos Santos. The UFC 146 card looks sick! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UFC_146

either way, its going to be a sick card

Feel free to bet your buddy Fro! If in the small event you win, then you can get the money off your other buddy who lost a dumb bet to him too! LMFAO

[Kris81]

Two really good events this weekend. Everyone forgetting the Bellator event friday which has a pretty stacked line up as well.

Me personally, not only am I hoping Evans wins, I think he will. He's such a huge under dog vs Jones.

Lol others are wanting to pool their money together to bet on Rashad since he's +400....I'll be watching the fight with that buddy (amongst others) of mine who lost a bet of $50 on Machida

[Siefer999]

just to put things in perspective using a hypothetical situation. if rashad had the title and defended it against 2 top contenders, and jones was the challenger but still destroyed all the other people like he did, would Rashad still be the underdog?

The only guy i see knocking Jones off the #1 spot is Gustaffson.

Have you guys seen the weigh ins and staredown?

Jones towers over his challengers, and his reach is long for guys his on height, let alone someone a foot shorter than him.
The guy should really fight at HW. It's smart to be a big fish in a small pond though.

He wanted to move up to HW, but Dana White said no.

The thing is, there is still this fight left at 205. I think if Gustaffson loses his one of his next couple of fights, Jones moves up to HW.
