Ladies & Gentlemen, is no surprise, the UFC has being hit (should I say ground & pound) by injuries, suspensions, and a champion who just can't stay out of trouble. Is it time to press the "panic button?"

Edgar vs. Faber
Weidman vs. Belfort
Cormier vs. Johnson
Velasquez vs. Werdum
Aldo vs. McGregor
All of these amazing main events just in the next 3 months. The UFC will be fine.

No, 2015 has been a very good year thus far. Ratings are up, the buy rates equal the total of the first 7 months of last years. They are doing much better than 2014.

Until someone dies in that cage, they will be fine

Injuries changing fight cards, as much as it sucks, is just a part of the business. There is literally NOTHING the UFC can do about a fighter who's hurt during training.
I wouldn't press the panic button just yet. The UFC does have a deep enough talent pool in most divisions , that you get a ton of good fights still. Just look at the remaining (and 1 updated) main events over the next several months that someone posted. It is a damn good lineup.

Yeah, the UFC are going to be lucky to survive without Jones. I mean, look at the s--- they've got coming up.
Weidman/Belfort, DC/Johnson, Khabib/Cerrone
Velasquez/Werdum, Melendez/Alvarez
Aldo/McGregor, Lawler/MacDonald
And they've only had three PPVs this year that broke 500K buys. Dana & co. should just close the UFC, there's no way they can make money without Jon Jones.

MMA, yes. MM, no. Poor mighty mouse, the laughing stock of the industry. The only fighter who can make stadium crowds shrink to the size he is.

As of right now, RR is the only reliable, sure shot, super star that the UFC can count on!

Zuffa needs to hire someone like Budo to clean up the Sport!

The UFC will be fine Jones or no Jones. They are just coming off their best quarter ever, according to DW.

I wonder how long this indefinite suspension can actually last for. Jon is still an independent contractor and while he may have violated the code of conduct, he still hasn't been suspended from fighting by any sanctioning bodies.
I imagine the felony charge is the kicker. Jail time and how much? Anybody know what the parameters are?
