I'll say 18

If your last few posts are true, I'll take the under on that 18 hours.

Sounds like the popos were out to nail the black guy.

If he was wearing those new Reebok pump sneakers, then they may have allowed him to outrun and evade the cops for over 24 hours. Sounds like some pretty good shoes to me.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAND NOW, this is the moment UFC fans around the world have been waiting for: live, from Albuquerque, New Mexico... IIIIIIIIIIIIIIT's TIME!!! A felony arraignment for leaving the scene of an accident!

Can't claim credit, I shamelessly ripped it off from another board.

On another note, bail was set at only $2,500. I assume Jon Jones will be out soon, which is good because I don't know if anyone else is willing to feed and take care of his weird exotic cat.

The UFC must be stoked about these Baltimore riots.

alnorth 04-28-2015 08:53 AM

Anthony Johnson just said he will not fight unless its for the title. He's willing to fight anyone at 187, but only for the title. He also said that if they don't strip Jon Jones, then he's willing to wait over a year if he has to.

He's not an idiot, he knows what he's doing. I already think its very likely that they will strip Jon Jones, but this makes it even more likely because if they don't, then not only do they lose JBJ, they also lose one of their brightest young stars for a year as well.

It's a good move on his part, he has nothing to gain by fight anyone else unless it's for a title (except money)

Amd he had a chance to miss out.in a huge payday if he does fight. If he takes a fight now and loses.....bye bye title shot money.

Also, let's not call Anthony Johnson a young star. The dude is 31, and this is his second stint in the UFC.

Oh hey, non-JBJ news.

The UFC signed the Invicta Atomweight champion. Michelle Waterson will fight at strawweight in the UFC.
