The fact that JJ has been partying and doing rails during training camp and still dominating everyone should cement his legacy as the GOAT lol

If Tyson in his prime was doing what JJ is doing now (even more horrible shit, to be honest) and still be considered the greatest, I don't see what the big deal is LOL.

BUT, my only complaint regarding Jones is claiming/advertising himself to be a role model when he obviously isn't.

Cerrone just said - Mixedmartialarts.com

"Jon Jones is a fake ass faggot lmao he also said he acts religous but gets drunk and sniffs coke off hookers tits lmao"

[MarkyMark]

Jones has a lot of growing up to do, I'll miss hoping he gets knocked out in every fight though

That thread brings in the win on so many levels!!

[Berzerker]

I can't see DC winning this fight at all. Rumble is just to beast. I'm actually sad we don't get to see him knock Jones out.

Berz out.

[RRxtar]

Nurmegomedov out of cowboy fight now too

[Derek_N84]

damn it khabib!

waiting for the official ufc statement though ...just hoping its not true

[GLOW]

pettis tweeted him karma's a bitch

[SkinnyPupp]

And all this is happening before the new drug testing begins

Going to be a rough year for UFC to say the least

[Ch28]

MuscleTech pulled their sponsorship from Jones. Funny enough, both his brothers have a sponsorship with them as well and are unaffected.

[SkinnyPupp]

Why would his brothers be affected?

[Ch28]

Makdessi steps in to fight Cerrone. Khabib to have a knee surgery and to be out another 4-6 months. Thinks he "came back too soon"

[Ch28]

Yahoo asked him to be one of their media analysts

[RRxtar]

Matt Mitrione ✔@mattmitrione
Congrats @Reebok, you got the deal of the century. Unfortunately, it was at the cost of the fighters. Hope the bad press is worth it. @ufc

Just for fun, Mark Hunt would be making $5000 in sponsorship for his next fight. I imagine hes currently making over $100k

[SkinnyPupp]

No idea how that even works. There has to be more to what fighters actually get paid

[GLOW]

if a big name outside of the UFC signs that'll suck for them if they'll only be making $2,500/fight.

That's another reason to assume that it's not as black and white as it's being made out to seem.

[Berzerker]

Didn't Macgregor just sign with Monster? There must be other ways around this deal. To blanket all fighters and not allow them any other sponsors seems absolutely crazy to me.

Berz out.

They cn have other sponsors but they just can't wear there stuff in the ring or at any UFC events before the fight.

[RRxtar]

Ya, you can pimp Nike's in commercials and appearances and marketing campaigns all you want, you just cant show any sponsorship aside from Reebok during fight week, at the fight, or at any UFC event. There will be ways that the big name guys can get around it because their brand exists outside of the cage. Like GSP could keep his Gatorade or Under Armor or whatever he has, but he cant sport it in the ring.

The problem is with the guys who make sponsorship PER FIGHT strictly for fight night. Those guys are getting fucked.

Bangin hoes on the side as well....got some wifey explaination to do:
