Dana will have him do a few anger management classes and sweep it under the rug.

Yet fires a fighter for taking a last minute fight who comes in over weight and another who declined a fight on short notice.....real classy Baldilocks

I think JS will do some time for that assault

Jake sheilds suspended 6 months

Damn...what did he get popped for? Must have been the green, no way he gets 6 months for PEDs

early word going around to reporters is high testosterone.

^^^^he got off lightly if thats the case


Anyone know when the Diaz Bros appear on TUF?

DaMarques is saying the right things about his release. That's smart. He'll be back.

From mmafighting.com

"Honestly, it really was my fault for accepting a fight on seven days notice and thinking I could lose 30 pounds, actually it came out to 35 pounds, and I only lost 27. That's my bad. I only was supposed to fight in December, so it's not out of the realm of possibilities [to miss weight] when I just fought in August and it's the end of September because, you know, I was big because I hadn't been able to work out or do anything.

"But no excuses. 1) I should have won the fight. 2) I shouldn't have taken the fight if I wasn't sure if I could do it. My own arrogance thinking that I could make the weight [got the best of me], and I think I did pretty good as far as [losing] 27 pounds in seven days."

Johnson, who said he hopes to fight again in December or January, added that he holds no grudges against the UFC for his release and urged his fans to feel the same way.

"I'm not mad at the UFC. It sucks, yes. At the end of the day, it falls on me. It was my decision. I didn't make weight. I'll make the adjustments and hopefully find myself back in the UFC."

This is the first time I'm watching Bellator live. The presentation isn't half-bad. Better than Strikeforce.

HOLYYYYY!!

What a fight! Maybe round of the year!

You could see Eddie timing that head kick from a mile away. Pitbull kept dropping his head whenever Eddie would throw a punch.

crazy. pitbull survived the first wrath and almost had it!

awesome fight. I'm a big pitbull fan but damn.. the got his waffle split.

Also it looks like Shields suspension was for weed. As usual the reporters didn't know much.

 

[The Infamous]

damn. They just had the weigh ins. Nog was straight up fat and Silva was looking a bit pudgy. Weighed in at 202. When they faced off you could see Bonnar was way bigger. Looked way different today than in those pictures.

Bellator should be good tonight as well. Sucks about SF for the fighters. They are training for nothing just wasting their careers and prime years.

But, but, Silva cuts from 230, didn't you know?

PED's?

PEDs is a one year suspension.

Joe Silva cut Antonito and Johnson, not Dana.
