Jon Jones!

 

WHO JUST FAILED HIS PRE-FIGHT DRUG TEST

 

Coked up Jon Jones enters rehab after failed pre-UFC 182 drug test

 

GODDAMN IT, BONES :|:crazy::angry:

I am so intrigued by Punk in the Octagon, I think he will do well

 

Unless they put him in against a totally green fighter, he's toast.

That's crazy about Jones!

What's crazier is this...

As strange as it may seem, Coke isn't a banned substance by the NSAC, so not only did they not have the power to stop the fight from going forward, but there's no changing the result either. Unless the UFC wants to strip Jones, the belt is still his.

And yet cannabis/marijuana is a banned substance to them, as Nick Diaz found out eight years ago. Such ######. :angry:

Holy cow! I am glad the world sees now that he is not the clean character he portrays to the media. The guy is pound-for-pound the best athlete in the sport... I easily admit that after his last fight. However, the guy is a tool. Anybody that believed otherwise is too gullible.

The plot thickens: apparently, the NSAC didn't have the authority to test him for recreational drugs out of competition. Story is still developing.

Both Anderson Silva And Nick Diaz Fail Drug Tests

Diaz unsurprisingly tested positive over the limits for marijuana, but the more troubling test was that of Silva testing positive for Drostanolone metabolites, in addition to androsterone. Drosotanolone is an anabolic steroid, often used during cutting cycles, whereas androsterone is a form of endogenous testosterone.

The UFC released the following statement:

On February 3, 2015, the UFC organization was notified by the Nevada State Athletic Commission that Anderson Silva tested positive for Drostanolone metabolites on his Jan. 9 out of competition drug test. UFC's understanding is that further testing will be conducted by the Commission to confirm these preliminary results.

Anderson Silva has been an amazing champion and a true ambassador of the sport of mixed martial arts and the UFC, in Brazil as well as around the world. UFC is disappointed to learn of these initial results.

The UFC has a strict, consistent policy against the use of any illegal and/or performance enhancing drugs, stimulants or masking agents by its athletes.

      It won't perform hugely better than the 3080 unless you're VRAM limited in games. Have you tried putting new thermal pads on them 3080 and giving it a good clean to see if you can regain your temps and overclock?

      Windows 95 offered the ability to add and edit the right click menus, on a per file type basis. This feature seems to be missing in the new file explorer. Are they bringing it back as a "new" feature?

      It's nearly time to replace my aging Founders Edition 3080, it doesn't OC as nicely as it used to and it's running around 10c warmer than it did when I first bought it.  I don't have budget for much more than what I spent on the 3080 and locally, that means the best GPU I can manage is a 9070XT. On this basis I have a few questions: 1. At present I don't use ray tracing, if this was to change, would this GPU be an issue? 2. How does it compare on a performance basis? 3. Are the drivers worse or better than those for nVidia? 4. Linux support, is it there? 5. Anything else I should be aware of if I were to make this change? 6. Is it a good idea or shall I try and keep the 3080 a little longer.
