CroCop to Bellator! the old bastard division is in full force.

[samurai1]

Really happy to see cro cop wanting to take back some sad loses. His loses to Nelson and Brendan Schub hurt his image and legacy a lot. I think he should beat Nelson easily if he can juice as he sees fit. Nelson can't strike at all these days, he struggled even with trtless bigfoot before the ko punch. He is just a lay and pray wrestler with a great chin these days. Mirko by dec.

After this I would like a rematch between him and Mir at the end of the year and then retirement. It's sad that he can't avenge the brenden loss.

Follow-up tidbit of news on former Glory 'fighter' Chi Lewis-Parry.

If you thought his first fight after avoiding fights for two years would be a normal affair, think again:

He should have been DQ'd, but oh well.

Why do they kept saying it "wasn't intentional"? Did i miss something? Did he tripped and on his way down he accidentally hit his opponent with the elbow on the back of his head? o_O I certainly did not see that )

March 23, 2018

USADA announced today that an independent arbitrator has rendered a decision in the case of UFC® athlete Josh Barnett, of Fullerton, Calif., and determined that Barnett should receive a public reprimand for his anti-doping policy violation. This decision comes after the facts of the case were fully briefed and presented at an evidentiary hearing on March 6, 2018.

Barnett, 40, tested positive for ostarine following an out-of-competition test conducted on December 9, 2016. Ostarine is a non-Specified Substance in the class of Anabolic Agents and is prohibited at all times under the UFC Anti-Doping Policy, which has adopted the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) Prohibited List.

[...]

Given the source was established to be a contaminated supplement, along with the athlete’s care and diligence concerning the nutritional products consumed, the arbitrator determined that a public reprimand was appropriate.

May be important, they ruled that if a violation may be related to a tainted supplement it can be reversed.

If not an off taste April Fools joke..
Cancel it. Cancel it all. Cancel 223. Cancel the UFC. Cancel MMA. Ultimate Fighting was a mistake.

I'm still not sure if it's an overblown April Fools joke.
