    All the underdogs on the main event got it done. Delighted for DC, didn't get it done how I thought he would but got it done. Stipe started great but I thought DC was getting on top.

    Delighted for dc. When the time comes he can definitely retire happy can't imagine he's going to be too bothered about Jones now If he doesn't get another shot.

    Wow.. Delighted for DC! Amazing stuff!

    The Lesnar stuff was pretty cringeworthy though

    DC will absolutely wreck Lesnar. Dana will have been loving that promo but having Brock in the ring was an accident waiting to happen. The man is a pure tramp.

    Cracking KO from DC. Stipe absolutely on queer street and was pushing Goddard as he got up. He'll be back but not sure he'll ever be champ again.

    Only thing that really ruined the occasion was the sight of Rockhold prancing about.

    The same way they have anyone back. Token suspension then back in the testing pool.

    ill be surprised if he doesnt fail a test and see this fight fall apart.

    And i presume he will now become the most tested athlete for the next 6 months or so

    I'm not the biggest fan of DC but goddamn how can you not respect him. The Lesnar thing was cringey and most likely fight won't happen because roids but i have to say, DC has earned that fat paycheck and to retire then dropping both belts as one of the greatest champions ever. Good for you DC Double Champ!

    You edited your comment from earlier..

    I never knew excess drinking of water could cause concussion like symptoms anyway, just bad on the heart I though.

    Mainly affects the brain afaik. Cells swelling creates excess intracranial pressure.

    Enjoyable card bar the shocker co-main. Yeah the Brock entrance was scripted and cringey but still a bit of craic, creates a bit of hype anyway.

    i am still in shock at DC winning by knock out but bloody hell well done DC. stipe was totally out of it didnt know where he was pushing goddard.

    the lesner stuff was stupid to watch.

    the lewis Vs Ngannou fight literally out me asleep.

    overall it was a good card

    Doesn't he have to serve a year ban ones he comes out of retirement and then have him tested for that year too? I didn't think Dana had any power over USADA

    Over the moon for DC, but a dampener but on the whole thing by:

    1) The UFC somehow even outdoing themselves in the scumbag stakes by allowing Brock back after burying his positive test ahead of UFC 200 to save the card after the Jones incident.

    2) The absolutely embarrassing, pre-planned WWE style promo with Brock and DC after the fight.

    As scripted as it was, once the fights are actual fights, you can't even mention UFC and WWE in the same sentence imo.

    DC was pure class, what a win.

    Hes halfway through now so a fight could happen in January. Likely both retire after.

    No issue with the WWE promo. Best coverage UFC have had since McGregor smashed up the bus.

    So Cormier is touching 40 and seems to be getting better and better. What a joke.

    Will certainly be an interesting fight. Lesnar will likely cover up, get in close, and look to out wrestle him.

    DC is a damn good wrestler, but had McMahon not driven to his house with a truck full of cash, Lesnar would have been an Olympian, and likely favourite for the gold medal.

    It's the one area he is just better than everyone else.

    Half way through? So he's been in the testing pool and un-retired the last 6 months?

    No but he retired about six months into his 1 year suspension. So about 6 months left now that hes out of retirement.

    So the UFC are trying to claim that Brock has been in the testing pool but his activity has been “hidden.”

    Aye, good one lads. :pac:

    If he fails a test it’ll be buried until after that event anyway, same as last time.

    Shambles.

    A quick Google tells you he retired around 4 weeks after being banned .?
