Blake signed a new 2 year deal in February As far as I can tell, Lavoie is a pending FA (signed a 3 year deal with Ottawa in 2015).

Ackie is a free agent after this season so maybe Kavis knew he wasn't coming back (who would blame him!) and tried to get something while he could.

**looks at the calendar for the 19th**

Conor has done this kind of thing before too (jumped out of the cage to go after Aldo, jumped into the cage at Bellator to go after the ref) and he still gets licensed. NSAC will act mad and will come down with some fines and suspensions but that just means more money in their pocket. In the end, they will gladly sanction the rematch when it comes.

Will never happen, it brings in way too much money so even if one place says no, another will gladly welcome them.

There were a few fights like that after the event but not as many as expected. The UFC was giving out souvenir steel chairs to fans in the VIP areas, I'm kinda shocked it didn't go full ECW!

What does Bauming gain by saying that? He doesn't work for the team so he has no reason to lie. Someone asked him if he thought the team would be bringing some new blood in & he said they had made attempts. Whether or not that actually results in players being brought in, is another thing.

Bauming tweeted a week or two ago, that the bombers had been trying to make some moves so it doesn't seem like that's the case this year. Dunk says multiple teams had been asking about Green previously & were denied but he might be available now that Toronto is out. Wonder if we were one of those teams?

The UFC should have expected this. They had no problem using the bus incident in promoting this fight, so they lost any right to be mad about this. Knowing them though, they'll probably just use tonight to promote a rematch.

Signed him in Feb 2015 but was released before training camp.

The 3rd Down article doesn't mention it but when the firing was announced, they said the assistant ST coach would be taking over.

I haven't followed the esks that closely but apparently a lot of their fans thought this was long over due so it must not have been based just on one game.

They did have that punt blocked.

Montreal has no 1st rounder (used in a supplemental draft) so it would Toronto then us at #2 (via trade w/ BC at the last draft). It gets complicated from there with 3 teams at 7-7 but if my understanding is correct, we'd actually pick 4th. Hamilton picks 5th as they win the tiebreaker against both teams. We win the tiebreaker with Edmonton due to points so they would pick 3rd.

Wow, 1st time for everything I guess? 😂

Bauming tweeted yesterday that the team had been trying to make some moves lately... wonder if Durant might be part of that.

So it seems JBJ got a reduced suspension by ratting on other fighters. Gotta think his teammates might not be too thrilled with him. https://www.bloodyelbow.com/platform/amp/2018/9/24/17898328/jon-jones-must-provide-all-information-he-has-ufc-ped-users-usada-mma-news?__twitter_impression=true

I think June Jones is saying a bunch right now!

Riders should be on at least a 4 game losing streak right now. I don't remember the last game they won that wasn't handed to them by the other team.

Funny you mention this... meltzer just retweeted this, even though it's a couple years old.

Other than Brock, Ronda & Conor, his numbers (320k-850k) compare favorably with the other top guys so he's up there & is still fighting so he has time to match or pass a couple of them. GSP seems to have also needed a big opponent to get his numbers which ranged between 400k (Serra 1) & 950k (Diaz). Silva was similar (300k for Pat Cote or 1.2 million for the Wiedman rematch).

Yep, Muslims of America, he turned informant on them which is why he hasn't been deported yet based on his criminal record. He has another son he doesn't take care of... he bailed on that kid & his mother when he flipped on MOA.

There's a huge amount of crazy **** with Ali. The child support is minor in comparison. Most mma media won't report on it though because he controls access to a very large number of fighters and reporters won't risk losing that.
