I can't imagine being so mad about getting to actually see the best in the world do his thing sooner rather than later.

UFC needs to embrace its status as a circus & go back to running unregulated shows in states with no Athletic Commission with everyone doped to their eyeballs. Legitimate sport MMA has not been great.

Other fighters (include F4W staff) received harsher punishments for first time failures. Machida willingly disclosed a supplement that had one ingredient that had only recently been banned and for which he didn't actually test positive and he still got 18 months. This ruling makes USADA testing a sham.

There's also the issue of cheating to making yourself stronger to hit other people in the head. Dave has always had strong opinions about concussions and steroids so it's not out of character for him to be pissed.

On November 4, 2016, Lawlor was provisionally suspended from the UFC stemming from an out-of-competition drug test conducted by USADA on October 10, 2016.[26] Lawlor revealed that he failed for Ostarine, although he denied knowing the cause of the failure.[27][28] In February 2017, Lawlor was handed a two-year suspension. He will be eligible to return to competition in October 2018.[29]

On August 13, 2018, Tom Lawlor was released from UFC, less than two months before his suspension was lifted.[30]

Basically Jon Jones consistently gets off lighter for way, waaaaay worse stuff because he pulls in a lot of cash. It’s the MMA equivalent of a billionaire getting off Scott free for defrauding his clients and a poor person going to jail for a year because they stole a snickers. And Dave being Dave he didn’t exactly phrase it as nicely as he could

Jon Jones's latest defense was "I cannot explain why I tested positive for steroids right before a fight, but come on. I have tested positive for drugs repeatedly, how dumb would I have to be to take drugs right before a fight? I'm obviously innocent, based on my past guilt!"

Eh, I could care less about Lawlor; it's just a great example of Dave being in Dave mode. I don't think I've ever heard him bury someone that hard while the guy was taking part in conference call with him.

I don't have much sympy for the dude that sold fights knowing full well weren't going to happen because his opponent was a teetering tower of fuckups. Cormier whined and politicked his way into cushy spots, good for him. But he keeps doing this "oh I'm just a humble wrestle man" which is just so much bullshit. Dude is a paid shill for a corrupt fighting org that goes beyond even the Yakuza's sponsored fight nights Japan runs.

That said, Cormier rolling Dan Henderson up link a stinkball was one of the funniest things I've ever seen in MMA(mostly because I was in a room diehard Hendo fans yelling and crying at the TV).

So a guy doing his job selling a fight is responsible not only to train, show up and make weight but also to make sure his opponent doesn't gently caress it up by babysitting him so he doesn't do something illegal to get it cancelled

And when his perpetual fuckup opponent ruins the fight the guy that does his job is held responsible in your mind
