Don't they know by now when testing is done and when to lay off the stuff.....

Chael Sonnen Test Positive for PEDs at UFC 117

Sucks for him right now. Kinda weird that the test came up now. I thought this information would have been released sooner.

 

[Paroxysm]

Yeah it is kinda weird.

What an idiot..

After the Silva fight he earned himself a rematch, respect & also a legion of new fans.. me included dispite what I thought of the fight, however now all thats been tarnished by his own stupidity.

Such a pity.

[BlackLantern]

damn

 

[CrypticOne]

Funny thing is, he's not saying anything now.

 

[Darthphere]

I love it, especially after all that **** he said about Lance Armstrong giving himself cancer.

 

[E-Man]

I would rather see Anderson fight Vitor or Okami anyway. I'm not a fan of immediate rematches.

 

[B]

I'm glad the supposed immediate rematch will in theory be thrown out the window, there will have been too many of them recently. BJ/Edgar x2 & Shogun/Machida x2.

In truth the only fight that warrented an immediate rematch was Shogun/Machida, Shogun was screwed over in that first fight.

BJ/Edgar didn't warrent a rematch, it was a fairly close fight however unlike the Shogun/Machida, at least in my opinion anyway, it was easy to call a Frankie Edgar win in that first fight.

Anyway the Silva/Sonnen match didn't warrent a rematch either, he may have won 4 rounds out of 5 but at the end of the day he was beat fairly & finished. It wasn't like judges screwed him or anything.

 

[E-Man]

Vitor has been talking some **** about Anderson lately too, so that match would be more interesting if he beats Okami. I have a feeling that Okami is going to break Vitor down and pick him apart for three rounds though. Then Anderson will probably get the fire in him to get his "revenge" against Okami.

 

[El Bastardo]

In the meantime, I think Anderson should move up and get some Jon Jones action.

Victor Belfort is out Marquardt fills in.

[El Bastardo]

I'd say I'm surprised, or that it's a shock - but, well, it isn't, is it?

 

[E-Man]

Damn Vitor! That's two fights in a row now. Hopefully he can recover, and this won't hurt his career.

 

[Paroxysm]

Scratch that, Dana says Victor is back in.

 

[E-Man]

Well...at least it's a good thing Vitor isn't injured. I'd rather he fight someone else before Anderson to shake off the ring rust.

[Texas Zombie]

I met chael sonnen at ufc fight night in Austin last week(he was with vanderlei silva), he seemed super happy, maybe he didn't even know about the test results yet.

 

[Paroxysm]

I'm watching TUF right now, Leroy is hilarious. I love how he smiles throughout the whole fight!

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Glad Bruce won his fight

lol@ his opponent saying he'd never tap from a choke

 

[CrypticOne]

Awesome! Vitor finally gets his shot. Should be a great chessboard fight for both of them. Should be one of the greatest stand-up battles.

I think Marquardt will take Okami out pretty easily.

 

[Golgo-13]

Missed it. Our power went out for two hours around the time it was coming on...

 

[Paroxysm]

The prelims was pretty good. The Mitrione/Beltran fight was slug fest as expected from Meathead. Doerkson/Dollaway fight had an awesome scramble with a sick sub.

 

[Paroxysm]

Guillard/Stephens was good.
Sherk/Dunham was excellent and relevant to the title picture.
Serra/Lytle was casual garbage, but whatever.
Nog/Bader was decent and relevant to the title picture.
Mir/Cro Cop was okay, poor Cro Cop.
All four of the televised prelims were exciting.
