Vitor was a great fight but im more excited for machidaI'm just glad they had such a good back up plan.
JFC I can't believe I didn't post "over/under on how long it takes Vitor to pull out of the Weidman fight?" when I posted the TRT shit.
Yup. Great fight. The odds on this fight should be really interesting. This is about as 50/50 as it gets.Super excited for Weidman vs Machida though.
HmmmmmmVitor_sl said:I want to apologize to all my fans that have been let down by the news of me not competing in the title fight against Chris Weidman. I wanted nothing more than to go and compete for the belt. As you all know, I have been doing a legal treatment approved by every commission I fight under called TRT for a health deficiency that I have. As of yesterday the Nevada commission banned the use of TRT. I am not exempt from the rules. I respect the Commission's ruling, and have dropped my TRT program as of yesterday. My body wouldn't have had enough time to acclimate and I wouldn't be able to meet the new requirements of the commission swiftly enough to be licensed for the main bout and permit the UFC sufficient time to promote it. I am prepared to fight for the championship belt without my TRT program. I look forward to competing under the new set of regulations. I want to thank all my fans, the UFC, and all the commissions for their unwavering support and I will come back stronger than ever! I'm waiting for the winner.
Weidman opened at -210.I'm thinking Weidman will be -150 myself. I'm rooting for Machida though.
Weidman opened at -210.
Also Bellator was tonight. Posting gif link without having seen so no discussion from me.

And apparently the event included a post fight "scuffle" at some point.
