Cain wins and looked really good in the process. I still feel like he's the best heavyweight when he's in shape and healthy.

Lesnar tests positive for something. I'm guessing it's not for weed. I hate how USADA announces their results. Why not tell us what the person tested positive for? Instead you get a bunch of speculation. There has to be a good reason. Anyone know?

Nope, but I'm interested too. The drugs Jones tested positive for were obviously not in any supplements. It will be interesting if we here about Lesnar.

What's crazy to me is that they get to keep the money they make off the fight. So, in the case of Lesnar who seemed to be a one more and done fighter, what's the point of not doing something? Might as well go in with as much of an advantage as possible and make as much money as you can. Would it be that crazy to say that if you test positive, ALL of the money you would have made goes to the other guy? I feel like people would be a lot more careful on what they put into their bodies.

Anyone with thoughts on the Diaz/McGregor rematch? I personally hope Diaz takes him out again. Never been a big fan of sh*t talkers who seem to do it just to self-promote. That and the Diaz brothers have always been entertaining to me.

Anytime you leave behind a young gf/wife and an unborn child, it is extremely sad. Especially with his history on how he got here and how he made it to the league.

Very sad.

The pics of the accident tell me that the guy behind the wheel had no idea where he was going. And as bad as the boat flipped, 30mph+ would be a good guess.

When boating at night:
1. Know where one is at all times. If unsure, get out in the water during the day to visually check it out. A GPS unit as low as $150 would have probably saved his life.
2. Have plenty of lights. The more the merrier. Don't forget flares.
3. Speed is a killer at night. Slow down. And don't drink and navigate a boat at the same time.

Boat + Speed + Night = Bad News

recent reports indicate neither alchohol nor drugs played a role in the boat crash, but speed may have. it appears the boat was at full throttle at impact, and may have been 55mph.
