Brock Lesnar officially suspended for 1 year by USADA. Lesnar is eligible for a return on July 15, 2017.
I didn't know Mirko was out there still banging. His kicks in the pride days were Vicious that's correct I spelled it with a capital V.
I'm sure Lesner doesn't care about a suspension. I doubt he fights again.
Pride and TUF got me hooked on MMA so anytime a Pride vet does something or has a fight coming up, I usally get excited. I really enjoy Rizin FF so you might want to take a look at them if you like the old days of fighting.Quote:

I haven't checked out Rizin FF. Is it all open tournament?
No they have other fights as well.Quote:

I'm gonna catch that fight. Not sure what to expect. It's another money fight for Bellator with names. Since 2006 Ortiz is 3-8-1 and Sonnen is 3-4 since 2010 and those 4 losses he's been finished. If this fight happened like 12 years ago it would be interesting.
Not sure where to post this but did you see the interview with Dana White? He said that Conor is headed for an epic fall for his latest stunt. I know he is controversial and that's what brings him ratings. When a guy talks this bad about his employer it has to get old sooner or later. You can't bite the hands that feeds you. I like brash and arrogance but he's overboard. He's a huge draw but he thinks he's bigger then the company. What do you guys think?

Honestly he is promoting and he loves the money. Thing is he wont make his money unless he is fighting in the UFC. He cant box without them signing off and he is under contract with them. Aldo was going through the same stuff and the same issues. I sometimes feel Conor will never defend a title honestly.Quote:

As a boxer he is not nearly anything that real fans would want to see. He can be brash and arrogant all he wants but real boxing fans know its a joke what he is doing and wouldn't think he has anything to offer to the sweet science. If he wanted to take boxing serious he may be a decent boxer but shooting for the stars and fighting the GOAT in boxing is way to much for him.Quote:
