3 as far as I know. Bigfoot fight, in practice for Barnett causing 2nd delay, and now this.

Huge fight this coming Saturday, literally. On hell of a stacked card from top to bottom.

Yeah, I'm pumped for the card on Saturday.

Agree not the news I wanted to hear

Don't understand how you can get an exemption for testosterone, but traces of metabolites from 8 days prior garners a suspension. Don't see marijuana as a PED.

Agree 100%

Diaz was better off getting a DUI. SMH.

Seems like the UFC is burying the Jon Jones situation. Fuck that guy.

What Jon Jones situation? I haven't heard anything.

DUI, crashed his Bently into a pole

Yeah, I just googled it after reading your comment.

Not a good situation for sure, doesn't look good for him either.

He's lucky he didn't kill anyone.

Totally agree with this.

They need to seriously look at the grand scheme of things and make some changes. Anyone who watched Chael and Nick's trial yesterday, it was a joke. They basically patted Chael on the back and were sucking him off hard. Nick's lawyer presented an amazing case but they basically ignored it and had their minds made up before he even walked in there.

Jones is seriously lucky but the UFC won't do anything but have him issue an apology if that.

I think the only thing worse would be if GSP got a DUI - he's they're new golden boy, this will get buried for as long as possible.

^agree!

Grand Prix final drew Showtimes best season rating for Strikeforce
http://mmajunkie.com/news/28835/strikeforce-grand-prix-final-ratings-event-draws-season-best-showtime-audience.mma

On the Strikeforce note I can't wait for Ronda Rousey to fight again as well! Looks like Sarah Kaufman will be next late summer.

Both Barnett and Cormier will also fight at least one more fight under the Strikeforce banner, Cormier will then move to UFC but Barnett is a sure thing for that.

Leonardo always appreciate you posting those. Any chance you can include Bellator in the listings?

Thanks Leonardo. Forgot about Nate Marquardt making his stirkeforce debut. Woodley is in big trouble imo

Chael Sonnen is my favorite
