    Superb from Jojo, her grappling and BJJ is accelerating at a rate of knots. She is a pure Muay Thai fighter. Impressive.

    Wanted Cejudo to win but agree fully that it was an early stoppage. There was plenty damage done but Dillashaw wasn’t out of it by any stretch.

    Was he at a hotel or a block of flats? The stories don’t reconcile with each other.

    Apparently he raped a bird brutally in a hotel, yet the videos are at a housing block.

    Checked on google and you're correct, just says he got CS and had to attend anger management. McGregor did say he was on probation at the press conference before the Khabib fight though so maybe that's why I was thinking that.

    Barboza/Gaethje end of March.

    Potential fight of the year IMO.

    Great fight.

    Barboza is too technical for him though. He will just keep distance with kicks. Gaethje might actually have to use his wrestling. But we know he’s going to just walk forward and swing.

    Not buying any of this McGregor stuff until it’s out in the open and we get facts. The videos or the WhatsApp screenshots. You can’t base something this serious off of that.

    One of the WhatsApp groups says that Dee is done, yet today she’s posted a photo of them working together.

    The thing I like about it is the fact Gaethje will fight within kicking distance. A guaranteed KO.

    It’s fair to say that anyone jumping to conclusions at this stage is being a bit naive. What I will say though is that he needs to get back to doing what he was doing 3/4 years ago - training, fighting and not much else.

    Weirdly, I heard about these rumours back towards the beginning of December (I think) but it seemed to have died down.

    He literally became the first ever Champ Champ by embarrassing Eddie Alvarez 2 years ago.

    The amount of undiluted pish on the internet about him is laughable and anyone with half a brain can see through that.

    I’d like to see him do what Jones is doing. Back fighting regularly and chasing fights. He’s obviously talking up the Cowboy fight now, hope that can get confirmed.

    Thing is about the rumours, most people are saying “spoke to my mate from Dublin, and he said”. That means nothing. Cos your mate is from Dublin he knows the details. I’m not saying it’s true or false until it comes out.

    There will be loads of folk coming out with a guilty verdict before any real facts are even made public, and equally some will say he’s clean. At this stage you can only give him the benefit of the doubt.

    Either way, he should hopefully use it as a bit of a wake up call. Get back into the cage, he’s still got a good few years left if he wants it, and there’s no shortage of options for him.
