In a statement, the UFC said its Las Vegas-based lawyers will thoroughly review the plea agreement before discussing Jones’ possible reinstatement to return to competition.

To say that Cormier and Jones dislike each other would be a massive understatement. “Like I said, I don’t know how this is going to play out”. The two fighters have a combined 12-3 UFC record, have both fought for the Flyweight Championship and have fought on a handful of PPV main cards in the recent past.
Evans will look for redemption off of two knee surgeries to take on the younger, red-hot Bader. “We’ll just see what happens”.
“I’m 6-0 in the Octagon and so is Ronda Rousey”, Pena said. Dana White hopes this UFC premier pay-per-view will make up for major losses at the last one, UFC 191: Johnson vs. Dodson 2.

That was on the training trip in Arizona. He sees this fight as one that helped him grow. You know, we’ve got Jon Jones back in the picture. I have my hands full with DC right now. “I can think on the fly and everything is coming together”.
On Saturday, MMAJunkie’s John Morgan asked about the report and the world was finally given its first response from a UFC official. I don’t know, outside of the obvious of wanting to beat the best, why I chased it so hard? Bagautinov is a spectacular fighter overall.
In order to beat the experienced Evans, Anik said Bader should be aggressive from the opening round on. The Russian native likes to grind out decisions with his ground game, but we have a feeling his opponent will want to keep it standing.
A spectacular performance could vault Evans into title contention. That means that the victor of the fight tonight is very likely to be up against Jones soon – the man universally recognized as the top fighter in this division.
However, Evans, a former champion himself, isn’t quite sure that Jones would have listened to him. Shortly after the Stockholm event, Jones got involved in a few unfortunate legal issues and was stripped of his belt.
The controversial 28-year-old appeared remorseful as he apologized to the court, the victim, the officers, and for “embarrassing” his supporters before pleading guilty to one count of leaving the scene of an accident, a fourth degree felony.
Evans has had a long layoff. He lost, badly, to Jones. “I won the belt”. “So many people can easily make it from Louisiana”. And despite asking for a Teixeira rematch, I don’t think he’ll get that either.

“When you’re inside of this sport, you tend to forget that it’s just a season of your life”. Woodley will spend the majority of the fight moving backwards and won’t be able to let loose to attack. I still drive my Prius. But we still have the same champion, and the same suspended guy looming over him. “It stops everything. It takes you back”.
