Great film

No mate not enough big names there to make me want to go unfortunately, although I'm sure it will be a great even

I really want to go but with price of tickets and hotels on top its just too much for me at the moment

DrPhil

I have flights booked for £50 and a twin room booked in a hotel but haven't got a ticket yet.

And to top it off my mate just pulled out. Thankfully he did it before we booked tickets. So he just lost the price of his flight and half the hotel.

Hotel wasn't too pricey.

Jones speaks...

mooperman

have only read the text quoted parts but i have to say, it all sounds fair enough to me...

DrPhil

Same here.

I have gone right off Jones as a person, the humble down to earth guy who blazed his way to the top has been replaced by a self centred arrogant sod.

But he's in the right for sure.

Jones did quite well in that interview but did contradict himself a couple of times and as such came across as a little disingenuous.  He clearly states that he didn't listen to the press conference but read things on Twitter and then later when asked about Dana intimating that he'd be cut if he refused to fight at 152 he said he had listened to it and that wasn't what Dana was getting at.

Dana was interviewed yesterday.  Only seen snippets on Youtube but he's still blaming Jones but not exclusively.  

Tricky situation.

DrPhil

He said that if Henderson had told him about the injury straight away the fight could have been saved.

He also said that if GSP beats Condit, the Silva superfight will probably happen at a 180 catchweight.
