Essential The Official MMA Thread

Rousimar Palhares and Joey Beltran were flagged after their fights this past month in Australia and have been suspended for nine months by the UFC.

UFC officials late Thursday announced the suspensions in an official statement.

Palhares, the UFC said, tested positive for elevated testosterone levels. And Beltran tested positive for nandrolone, a banned steroid.

But its ok to get TRT. These cacs are hilarious.

Was supposed to be April 13th but Shannon Knapp said they have to change the date because the UFC announced a card for the same date....hmmmmm only a matter of time before the announce that UFC buys out Invicta...if they are not backing them already.

Smart not to run up against any UFC event. Hopefully it is pushed back only a little.

Yeah he should have got the decision as he was countering Ryan and hitting him with strikes as he was coming in. Having said that K.J. was a bit content on the feet and wasn't throwing enough for someone who clearly had the edge striking.

Good work by Mousassi in quickly taking care of Kyle.

I met Ron Kruck and he is a nice guy, but he is really bad on play by play.

Looks like another Sub victory coming up
