why are we all talking in secret?

You don't know why Hendo is up next, are you kidding?

Hendo can knock anybody on the planet out with one of his overhand rights, and has never been KO'd. Great match up if you ask me

[RichC]

Hendo is a topfighter no doubt at all but I'd still prefer Anderson to take on Jones. He's unbeaten in UFC since he joined (14 fights) , has beaten Henderson and his last loss (of 4 in his fight career) was a dq in 2006 and he's never been stopped either.

Jones is a special talent and a match up against Silva would really be fascinating. Here's hoping it will happen soon!

[Nicey]

I think Silva beats Sonnen which he should, it sets up the biggest fight in the history of combat sports, both fighters have cleared out there respective divisions, especially Jones, the only real prospect I can see for Jones is Alexander Gustafsson, he has already beaten the entire top ten in little over a year and Silva has nothing to prove to anybody, one more fight and he is gone, it might as well be the biggest fight of all time

[Suarez]

Ok ... no homo ... bro ...


Joking aside, I think people criminally underestimate Evans, he wrestling is world class, he footwork is sensational, I personally beileive he has the best boxing in the UFC right now, he has only ever lost once ... to Machida, he got clipped .. he is comfortable pretty much anywhere, and always has an intelligent game plan ... He took Phil Davies apart with surgical precision, this the guy many were touting as the guy to take down Jones.

I am a huge Jones fan, he is a special fighter but i dont think its one sided as many people seem to think ...

Eiether way ... I cannot wait ... what about the welsh lad as the Co Main Event

There was a guy from Gloucester who was beaten by Mcdonald, who was the welsh lad?

I'd guess at 'How the ****'d you get that big?'

[Gibbo]

9 month ban

[Nicey]

technically its his first time, he will be back in the UFC fighting for the title within the year, he will have 1 fight and then straight into a title shot, hopefully he can lay of the ****ing juice this time

[kev776]

And it should be his last time, like all sportsmen who get caught there is always an excuse.

If Sport is to be made responsible again he should get a much much longer ban, 3-5 years.

Drug takers and cheats suck and an example in ALL sports should be made.

Oh come come, so many sportsmen, athletes, body builders, solders etc .. push this to the grey limit.

The only problem I have with it is the imbalance in competition, I have no problem with the drugs par say, really the UFC needs to pay for Random Drug testing of its fighters, and I can see this being implentated reasonablly soon, only problem is, the vast majority of them are on something ...

They cross train to extreme levels more so than any other sport, and testosterone seems to be the poison of choice for giving them the edge, also a lot of them come from wresting backgrounds which has them depleted of testosterone by there early 30s and have legitimate reasons for taking supplemental s Anyways it is what it is .. as long as they continue to beat the living **** out of each other for my entertainment I'm happy drugs or no drugs ...

Something will be done about this soon .... theres too much money at stake

I hear what you are saying but cheating is cheating, be it using a weapon in the ring or taking drugs.

How do you explain to kids coming into all sports that they have to work their nuts off to get to the top or..... there is of course an easier way.

I wish somebody had the balls to ban one of these stars for life and actually mean it.

I spent 22 years getting drug tested and when somebody was caught it was automatic discharge and prison for the offenders, a massive incentive to stay away from the stuff.
