										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="color: #3366ff;"><a style="color: #3366ff;" href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/2728418/ufc-star-conor-mcgregor-snubs-a-megabucks-offer-to-appear-at-wrestlemania-this-year/" target="_new"><em>According to The Sun,</em></a></span> <a href="http://wrestlinginc.com/wi/news/wwe-news/">WWE</a> recently reached out to UFC Lightweight Champion <a href="http://wrestlinginc.com/wi/profiles/519/conor-mcgregor/">Conor McGregor</a> and presented him a huge offer, which the Superstar refused.</p>
<p>A source told The Sun, &#8220;WWE has made no secret of its desire to do something with Conor McGregor and there were talks between the two parties about this year&#8221;. &#8220;Because he&#8217;s taking time off from the UFC, there was a talk about doing something at this year&#8217;s Wrestlemania in April, but it wasn&#8217;t to be despite a hefty offer.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8221;The Game&#8221; Triple H admitted on public record that he would be interested in having McGregor make some WWE appearances when he attended UFC 205 last November at The Garden.</p>
<p>&#8220;He [McGregor] could come over, he&#8217;s got it all, man &#8211; he&#8217;s got the personality, the skills, the talk. He&#8217;s an entertainer, for sure,&#8221; <span style="color: #3366ff;">HHH <a style="color: #3366ff;" href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/mma/2016/11/14/ufc-star-conor-mcgregor-offered-route-into-wwe-by-triple-h-follo/" target="_new">told The Telegraph</a></span>. &#8220;What does he walk around at? 180lbs? I have smaller guys now in the WWE. We have 200lb guys who are stars. You don&#8217;t need to be 300lbs any more.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;He could do just as well as Floyd Mayweather when he fought the Big Show. That really worked. Conor could do it for sure.&#8221;</p>
<p>Conor McGregor pushed the buttons of many professional wrestlers when he ripped the business in August 2016 while promoting UFC 202, where he emerged victorious over Nate Diaz in the marquee bout of the night.</p>
<p>He said that some WWE guys are not right in the head, and that the &#8221;new era stars&#8221; are &#8220;dweebs.&#8221; He added that the old school guys &#8211; like &#8221;The Nature Boy&#8221; Ric Flair &#8211; are legends and called the McMahons &#8220;Dons.&#8221;</p>
<p>You can hear what Conor McGregor had to say about WWE here:<br />
<em><span style="color: #3366ff;"><a style="color: #3366ff;" href="http://www.tmz.com/videos/0_zgwax54l">http://www.tmz.com/videos/0_zgwax54l</a></span></em></p>
<p>&#8220;The rest are dweebs,&#8221; McGregor said. &#8220;What&#8217;s the main guy? John Cena. He&#8217;s 40, he&#8217;s 40 years of age. He&#8217;s walking around in a illuminous orange t-shirt and a headband talking about [how] no one can see him. We can see him right there, he&#8217;s a big fat 40 year old failed Mr. Olympia motherf&#8211;ker! They&#8217;re dweebs, those guys!&#8221;</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The <a class="zem_slink" title="Nevada Athletic Commission" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nevada_Athletic_Commission" target="_blank" rel="wikipedia">Nevada Athletic Commission</a> already handed down their punishment for former <a class="zem_slink" title="UFC.com" href="http://www.ufc.com/" target="_blank" rel="homepage">UFC</a> Heavyweight Champion &#8216;The Beast Incarnate&#8217; <a class="zem_slink" title="Brock Lesnar" href="http://twitter.com/brocklesnar" target="_blank" rel="twitter">Brock Lesnar</a>. Now, the <a class="zem_slink" title="United States Anti-Doping Agency" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Anti-Doping_Agency" target="_blank" rel="wikipedia">U.S. Anti-Doping Agency</a> has done the same. USADA gave Lesnar a one-year suspension for his use of <a class="zem_slink" title="Doping in sport" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doping_in_sport" target="_blank" rel="wikipedia">banned substances</a> prior to his bout against Mark Hunt at <a class="zem_slink" title="UFC 200" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UFC_200" target="_blank" rel="wikipedia">UFC 200</a>.</p>
<p>Lesnar originally won the contest, but that result was reversed to a &#8216;no-contest&#8217; after the failed test. His NAC suspension runs retroactive for a year from July 9, while the USADA suspension began July 15.</p>
<p>USADA statement regarding Lesnar is as under:-</p>
<blockquote class="td_quote_box td_box_center">
<h5 style="text-align: left;">&#8220;USADA announced today that UFC athlete, Brock Lesnar, of the <a class="zem_slink" title="Brooklyn" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=40.6927777778,-73.9902777778&amp;spn=0.01,0.01&amp;q=40.6927777778,-73.9902777778 (Brooklyn)&amp;t=h" target="_blank" rel="geolocation">Brooklyn</a> Park, M.N., received a one-year sanction, pursuant to the UFC Anti-Doping Policy, after testing positive for a prohibited substance on two occasions.</h5>
<h6 style="text-align: left;">&#8220;Lesnar, 39, tested positive for clomiphene and its metabolite, 4-hydroxyclomiphene, following an out-of-competition urine test conducted on June 28, 2016, and an in-competition urine test conducted on July 9, 2016, at UFC 200 in Las Vegas, Nev. Clomiphene is a prohibited substance in the category of Hormone and Metabolic Modulators and is prohibited at all times under the UFC Anti-Doping Policy, which has adopted the <a class="zem_slink" title="World Anti-Doping Agency" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=45.500933,-73.561846&amp;spn=0.01,0.01&amp;q=45.500933,-73.561846 (World%20Anti-Doping%20Agency)&amp;t=h" target="_blank" rel="geolocation">WADA</a> Prohibited List.</h6>
<h6 style="text-align: left;">&#8220;Lesnar&#8217;s one-year period of ineligibility began on July 15, 2016, the date on which he was provisionally suspended by USADA, and is identical in length to the sanction imposed by the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) on December 15, 2016. In addition, the NSAC overturned Lesnar&#8217;s victory at UFC 200 to a no-contest.</h6>
<h6 style="text-align: left;">&#8220;Pursuant to the UFC Anti-Doping Policy, all UFC athletes serving a period of ineligibility for an anti-doping policy violation are required to remain in the USADA registered testing pool and make themselves available for testing in order to receive credit for time served under his or her sanction. Furthermore, if an athlete retires during his or her period of ineligibility, the athlete&#8217;s sanction will be tolled until such time the athlete notifies USADA of his or her return from retirement and once again makes him or herself available for no-advance-notice, out-of-competition testing.</h6>
<h5 style="text-align: left;">&#8220;USADA conducts the year-round, independent anti-doping program for all UFC athletes. USADA is an independent, non-profit, <a class="zem_slink" title="Non-governmental organization" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-governmental_organization" target="_blank" rel="wikipedia">non-governmental agency</a> whose sole mission is to preserve the integrity of competition, inspire true sport, and protect the rights of clean athletes. In an effort to aid UFC athletes, as well as their support team members, in understanding the rules applicable to them, USADA provides comprehensive instruction on the UFC Anti-Doping Program website regarding the testing process and prohibited substances, how to obtain permission to use a necessary medication, and the risks and dangers of taking supplements as well as performance-enhancing and recreational drugs. In addition, the agency manages a drug reference hotline, Drug Reference Online, conducts educational sessions, and proactively distributes a multitude of educational materials, such as the Prohibited List, easy-reference wallet cards, and periodic athlete alerts.&#8221;</h5>

<p>This is Ronda&#8217;s second straight knockout loss and it was crystal clear that she is not in her best shape. Many sources over the internet claim that Ronda might be going in the direction of retirement. For Rousey it will not be such an easy decision to walk out of the pentagon forever.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><iframe title="UFC 192: Daniel Cormier - A New Era of Light Heavyweights" width="1200" height="675" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/bvYAkfIV7Ss?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>Daniel Cormier is a former Wrestler an haqve competed at the highest level an now he&#8217;s a MMA Champion with a lose from Jon Jones.</p>
<p>TAP: What have you been up to today?</p>
<p>Daniel Cormier: I&#8217;ve been hanging out, killing my teammates in video games, putting them in their places and letting them know not to even try to take me on at these games, it&#8217;s ridiculous. I&#8217;ve always said my gamer tag is ScapularBlock3 on Xbox One, and anybody that wants it in NBA 2k16 or Madden 16 can get it.<br />
TAP: When you watched Gustafsson&#8217;s fights with Johnson and Jones, did you happen to find a universal weak spot in his game that stood out to you as advantageous to your own style?</p>
<p>Daniel Cormier: Not really. He&#8217;s a solid fighter, but we all have spots that people can take advantage of. I&#8217;ve been able to find a couple of those spots in Alexander Gustafsson. He has a few habits inside the Octagon that I think I could exploit.</p>
<p>Overall he&#8217;s a pretty solid guy. He does a good job of wrestling offensively and defensively, he&#8217;s obviously a great striker and he has great cardio, but there are a few technical things I think we may be able to exploit.</p>
<p>TAP: You have been very complimentary of Jones in the past, even offering support during the tumultuous year he&#8217;s had, and you gave a very classy response to the result of his hearing. Bearing that in mind, most folks that have continuous personal issues tend to fall into negative behavioral patterns, do you think that&#8217;ll be a problem for Jon?</p>
<p>Daniel Cormier: It&#8217;s very difficult to make a 100% turnaround. It&#8217;s tough when you actually do exhibit patterns of bad behavior. You need to have a very strong support system of people who are willing to keep you in your place if you&#8217;re going to overcome these things.</p>
<p>These are the things that Jon is going to need as he moves forward in his life and his career. Jon is still a young guy, he&#8217;s not even 30. In two years time, if things go back to being the way they were before, he&#8217;ll run into these issues again. Hopefully he&#8217;ll get the right people around him and they&#8217;ll keep him in line.</p>
<p>He&#8217;s not getting off scot-free, you know? Seventy speaking engagements is a lot, especially for a guy like Jones who is so busy with his fights, his family and his sponsorship appearances and everything. That&#8217;s not an easy thing to do in 18 months. It may seem like the punishment isn&#8217;t very big, a lot of people thought he would get jail time, but this isn&#8217;t just a slap on the wrist.</p>
<p>TAP: Do you think people sometimes ask you about him because they want you to say you want him to fail?</p>
<p>Daniel Cormier: Listen, bad blood. Anger. Issues. People buy into that, people like that stuff. People like it when they see two guys that genuinely have a disdain for each other, but this is life. This isn&#8217;t just fighting. We&#8217;re not just talking about the guy&#8217;s fighting career, we&#8217;re talking about his life. Think about the people that are involved in his life. His dad is nothing but a gentleman, always has been. He was very nice to me after the fight. His mom is a very nice lady, so is his family, his wife and his children.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s a lot of people [who are affected]. If I&#8217;m sitting here hoping this guy fails in life, I&#8217;m hoping bad on all of these people, not just him. I wouldn&#8217;t wish that on my worst enemy. I hope that he gets everything together and that he&#8217;s able to get back to doing what he does well, and to provide the life his kids are accustomed to make sure they don&#8217;t have to worry about anything for the rest of their lives.</p>
<p>TAP: A fight with Jones is a ways off, but it&#8217;s one that&#8217;s bound to happen again at some point. If you were in Jon Jones&#8217; shoes, would you want to take a tune up fight, or would you jump right back in and fight you for the title?</p>
<p>Daniel Cormier: I would just jump right in. He won the last fight against me and he hasn&#8217;t been gone that long. He was scheduled to fight four months ago, so he hasn&#8217;t been gone that long. I would go right into the title shot. He&#8217;s had times where he&#8217;s been on the sideline and hasn&#8217;t defended his belt very actively, so I would just jump right in, I wouldn&#8217;t take too much time.</p>
<p>TAP: At what point, if ever, do your endless media obligations start to wear on your nerves or get overwhelming?</p>
<p>Daniel Cormier: Monday. Monday was tough. Monday was the first time I was like, ‘Man, I wish I didn&#8217;t have to do this.&#8217; I got up at 4:30am, got up and ran, hit some pads and had to be at the lobby at 6:30am to go on a media day in L.A. It was rough. I did an interview with Fox Sports Deportes at around 3:30 in the afternoon, the guy asked me a question, and I was sleeping. I actually sat in front of the Skype screen sleeping. I fell asleep, and I started to answer the question as if I heard him, then I was like, ‘Wait.&#8217; My brain woke up like, ‘Shit. I was sleeping. I have no idea what this guy just asked me.&#8217; He was looking at the Skype screen and he must have been like, ‘Is this guy sleeping?&#8217; It was so bad.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s the first time that has ever happened, but at that point I was so glad the day was done. I was tired. When I got into Texas at like 1am I was going to sit in the sauna but by nutritionist told me just to get some rest. I did that, and I was only 218 lbs on Tuesday morning, so it didn&#8217;t hurt anything.</p>
<p>TAP: We&#8217;ve seen guys in the lighter weight classes struggle to draw well on pay-per-view events. Demetrious Johnson has been having a hard time despite delivering incredible, dominant performances. Do you think casual fans just aren&#8217;t ready for the smaller guys to headline big cards?</p>
<p>Daniel Cormier: I don&#8217;t know what the disconnect is. People like to call themselves fans of fighting and fans of the sport, but if you&#8217;re a fan of fighting how can you not like watching Demetrious Johnson? He&#8217;s the best at it. He&#8217;s the pound for pound best fighter in the world. Why wouldn&#8217;t you enjoy watching that guy perform? He does a phenomenal job every time he&#8217;s in there. He makes world beaters look like amateurs. He&#8217;s so much better than everybody else that he makes phenomenal fighters look like they don&#8217;t even belong in there with him.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t know what the disconnect is. It&#8217;s crazy to me that guys don&#8217;t want to watch DJ fight. I think he&#8217;s phenomenal. It&#8217;s crazy. I think they&#8217;re ready, though. We&#8217;ve seen smaller guys in main event fights and they do well, it just takes the right combination of people I think. I think Dominick Cruz v. T.J.Dillashaw could have main-evented a PPV and done pretty good.</p>
<p>TAP: Some fighters are struggling to adjust to the dramatic changes in their sponsor money since the Reebok deal came into force. Have you managed to work out deals with your sponsors to represent them outside of the Octagon?</p>
<p>Daniel Cormier: We&#8217;ve done a couple of things outside of the Octagon, but you just have to get creative. Start selling your own T-shirts, find a partner. Someone will help you make money outside of the Octagon. It&#8217;s not that hard. Obviously I&#8217;m talking from a different position from a lot of people because I have the championship and I&#8217;ve been in the top 5 for so long, but you have to try to be a little creative, you know? Just try new things to supplement your income. The Reebok deal was a game change, but now we&#8217;re just like every other sport around the world.</p>
<p>TAP: We&#8217;ve seen guys like Aljamain Sterling and Matt Mitrione talk about having difficulty getting fights. At one point you also struggled to get fights. Is there a trick to keeping yourself constantly on the active list or is it down to the luck of the draw? What advice would you give to these guys?</p>
<p>Daniel Cormier: It&#8217;s kind of the luck of the draw. I was lucky at Strikeforce because I was able to fight in different organizations, but these guys are in a different situation. The thing about Aljamain is he is so fricking good that it&#8217;s time for him to start fighting the best guys in the division, but those guys really don&#8217;t fight that often. He&#8217;s in a tricky situation. I would say just keep on bugging these guys, keep telling them you want a fight.</p>
<p>You have to be very vocal about being willing to fight anyone. Aljamain wants to fight the best guys, because he is one of the best guys, but you have to be OK with fighting guys who are ranked beneath you. If he&#8217;s OK doing that I think they may be a little more open to giving him random fights.</p>
<p>TAP: With MMA being something of a young man&#8217;s sport, what do you consider to be the key to longevity?</p>
<p>Daniel Cormier: Just take care of yourself. When you&#8217;re younger, you can train hard and beat the walls down with your head, but as you get older, train a little bit smarter. Find people who can help you, people that are willing to take some of the burden off of you. As you get older and have a family, and have kids, you have to find people who can help you and take some of the burden off of you. I&#8217;ve also been lucky in that I started MMA a little bit older, so I haven&#8217;t taken as much damage or been beaten up as much as some of the younger guys.</p>
<p>TAP: Speaking of guys who have been in the sport for a long time, a former opponent of yours, Josh Barnett just headlined the UFC show in Japan. What did you think of his performance?</p>
<p>Daniel Cormier: I thought he fought amazing. I thought Josh looked amazing. If Josh fights like that he can fight with the best heavyweights in the world. The dude was moving forward the whole time and throwing beautiful combinations. Roy Nelson just has a granite chin, as we all know, which is why Josh wasn&#8217;t able to finish him. Most mortal men would have gone down at some point during that fight. Roy Nelson is just not of this world, he&#8217;s a savage.</p>
<p>TAP: Do you have any advice for fighters at the start of their career?</p>
<p>Daniel Cormier: Know that it&#8217;s slow at the beginning. The start is tough and the money isn&#8217;t great, but train hard and hit the gym every single day, even though it gets monotonous and you feel like you&#8217;re living in Groundhog Day. If you commit to the sport, if you keep pressing forward, and keep believing in yourself, eventually it&#8217;ll turn around. Even if you don&#8217;t become the UFC or Bellator champion, you will have a great career that you can look back on proudly. That&#8217;s what we&#8217;ve done as a team at AKA. When we look back at what AKA did with Daniel Cormier in the last 5 or 6 years, we can all be proud of it. I am forever indebted to all of my training partners, coaches, friends and family who have played a part in this journey.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a class="zem_slink" title="Dana White" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dana_White" target="_blank" rel="wikipedia">Dana White</a> appeared as a guest on Chad Dukes Wrestling Show Podcast to promote the upcoming <a class="zem_slink" title="Ultimate Fighting Championship" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultimate_Fighting_Championship" target="_blank" rel="wikipedia">UFC</a> 191. During the interview the host asked Dana about his opinion on the twitter controversy arising out of his description of <a class="zem_slink" title="Professional wrestling" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Professional_wrestling" target="_blank" rel="wikipedia">pro-wrestling</a> as &#8220;fake&#8221;. This led to many wrestlers, including Taz and Austin Aries responding to Dana and Bubba Dudley asking for an apology.<br />
To put a rest to all the controversy, White says that his comments were only meant towards a twitter heckler and he doesn&#8217;t care if he has offended someone in the process.</p>
<p>Here are some excerpts from the interview:<br />
“Listen, try to do anything today without pissing people off. Try it. I mean anything you say people get mad, you just gotta not care and I don’t care. Anything you say on Twitter or Instagram oranywhere these days every week I have a different group mad at me so you know it’salways something, but it’s still the world we live in today. My Twitter and social media has beenexactly the same since the day I got on it and one of the things, you said it best, the more successfulyou become, the bigger something gets, the harder it is to be yourself and to really speak honestlybecause somebody ends up getting mad. You literally just have to get to the point where you justdon’t care who gets mad and that’s that’s that’s how I am.”</p>
<p>“I’ve had my, you know, my battles with Vince [McMahon] behind the scenes with some stuff thatwe’ve worked on but I respect all the guys in the WWE in the wrestling profession. We have so manyguys that are that are fans of the UFC and when they come to the events we take very good careof ’em, we treat ’em with respect, I have yet to meet a bad guy from the wrestling world. Everybodyis really classy and everybody’s really cool. My wrestling thing was just a response to an idiot onsocial media that was talking smack so I kind of gave him a zinger back and the whole wrestling world went crazy on me. But it is what it is, to be honest with you I really don’t care.”</p>
