Leonardo, why the hostility vato?
Don't take what I post to heart.
I know good & well that you don't respect what I post so just blow it off and have a good time.
Simply amazing...I think I've wasted enough time on you and your worthless replies...

LOL. What does that look on his face say?
Dude, Sylvia is chunky.
BTW, I am sick of missing all these events.
Sylvia is indeed soft looking.
Slimmer than he was before but soft looking.
Sylvia is a bad man...
He's generously at #5 in the latest HW rankings...
Why are you missing them??? Download them if you can't catch the PPV or fight your way thru the idiots watching at Hooters...
PM me if you want info on downloading them.
What a weekend we have coming up...
Opening weekend in the NFL and the final round of the OWGP!! Sunday night at 9:00...if you're an MMA fan, you can't miss this PPV. You'll get to see 9 fights for $35...instead of 6-7 for $40 with UFC. And if I have to try to sell you on these fighters then you should probably just find another sport to follow...

STEPHAN BONNAR TESTS POSITIVE FOR ANABOLIC STEROID
Wednesday, September 06, 2006 - by Ivan Trembow - MMAWeekly.com
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In a developing news story that broke on Wednesday's edition of MMAWeekly Radio, MMAWeekly has learned that Stephan Bonnar tested positive for an anabolic steroid after his fight against Forrest Griffin at UFC 62 on August 26th.
The specific banned substance that was found in Bonnar's post-fight urine sample after his unanimous decision loss to Griffin was Boldenone Metabolite, according to the Nevada State Athletic Commission's drug testing results.
Boldenone is an anabolic steroid that is intended for use only by veterinarians, specifically to help rehabilitate injured horses. It has several brand names for veterinary use, including Equigan, Equipoise, Ultragan, and Ganabol. It is on the banned substances list of all the major athletic commissions and sports leagues.
In a formal complaint filed on Wednesday by the Nevada State Athletic Commission, Bonnar was informed of his positive test result and was made aware that the NSAC has the right to suspend and/or fine him for his positive test result, pending a disciplinary hearing.
The amount of the fine can be up to $250,000, or the complete amount of the fighter's purse for the event, whichever amount is greater. In this case, Bonnar's purse for the August 26th fight was $16,000, so the maximum possible fine is $250,000.
The length of the suspension can be whatever the NSAC deems appropriate, but the suspensions have ranged from three to twelve months in past instances of mixed martial artists and boxers testing positive for banned substances.
According to the NSAC complaint, Bonnar's side has 20 days from the date of the complaint to issue a formal response to the NSAC in writing, which would put the date at September 26th.
After Bonnar's side has formally responded, the NSAC will set the date for a disciplinary hearing, at which Bonnar will be "en led to be represented by counsel of his choice" and will also be en led to "cross-examine witnesses, present evidence, and argue on his own behalf before a decision is made by the Commission."
Even before his drug test results came back positive for a banned substance, Bonnar had already been medically suspended for six months due to a broken right thumb, so it's unlikely that he would have fought again this year even if he hadn't tested positive for a banned substance at UFC 62.
Boldenone is not generally a popular drug among bodybuilders because of the fact that traces of the drug remain in the user's system for several months after use. According to Food and Drug Administration filings, which cited the Office of New Animal Drug Evaluation, Boldenone is intended for use by veterinarians as "an aid for treating debilitated horses when an improvement in weight, hair coat, or general physical condition is desired."
The FDA filings added, "Federal law restricts this drug to use by or on the order of a licensed veterinarian." Due to potential health risks for humans, the FDA has gone so far as to say that Boldenone "should not be administered to horses intended for human consumption."
The possible side effects of Boldenone when used by humans include high blood pressure, increased water retention, elevated levels of estrogen, possible hair loss, flu-like symptoms, anxiety, and acne.
A total of eighteen fighters competed on the UFC 62 card on August 26th, and four of those eighteen fighters were drug tested by the Nevada State Athletic Commission. In addition to Bonnar, the other fighters who were drug-tested were Chuck Liddell, Renato "Babalu" Sobral, and Forrest Griffin, all of whom passed their drug tests.
Yep...Bonnar is a scab anyway...he's GONE!!

Lock of the year: Shogun...bet your house, your kids, your wife, etc. They're feeding him a warmup fight in his first fight back from injury. You'll have to be a lot to win anything, but it's as lock as lock can be...
Solid Underdog Picks: Aleks, Silva, Santos
Always pick anybody named Emelianenko, no matter what the first name. Aleks is no Fedor (and probably never will be), but he's a tough, solid fighter nonetheless. And he's still young and getting better. That ought to be a good fight.
I didnt like Bonnar too much anyways but I always thought he was a tough cat.
Tim Sylvia said Aleks has slow hands though
Could be the fight of the night IMO...
What an event last night!!

Mirko Crocop takes out Wandy Silva first...
then Josh Barnett...
in the same night to take the belt and setup Fedor - Crocop II in December... :cool:
Gotta give Barnett some credit...he went thru Aleks E, Hunt, and then faced Nog and Crocop in the same night. That's a brutal 4 months. Crocop didn't really face a true HW until the final vs Barnett...
Here are the fights (Japanese commentary) for anybody that's interested...
Lots of links to pick from...most, if not all, are with Japanese commentary.
Here are links for the 2 semi-final fights...watch these 2 first.

UFC FIGHT NIGHT: OCTOBER 10 IN HOLLYWOOD, FLORIDA
- o Ortiz (#7 Light Heavyweight in the world)* vs. Ken Shamrock
-Nathan Marquardt (#9 Middleweight)* vs. Thales Leites (could happen at UFC 64 instead)
-Kendall Grove vs. Chris Price
-Ed Herman vs. Jermaine Andre
-Matt Hamill vs. Seth Petruzelli
-Josh Haynes vs. Rory Singer
-John Alessio vs. Thiago Alves
Haynes and Singer doesn't do much for me (neither does o / Shammy 3, but I'll still watch to see Shammy get hammered again) but the rest aren't bad.
Marquardt FINALLY back on TV...Leites is an EXCELLENT ground fighter making his debut...
Grove, Herman, and Hamill...and finally Petruzelli (if he doesn't get hurt again). I like that dude...
Alessio / Alves isn't bad either, but probably won't be aired...
UFC 63 looks DAMN GOOD.
Besides the main / co-main which should be great, you have 5 LW matches that should be really entertaining. Tyson Griffin is making his debut...he'll be the LW Champ within 2 yrs IMO. Huerta and Ruediger are also making their debut...excellent additions to the UFC. Melvin's fights are always exciting. And of course the return of Jens Pulver.
On paper, it's WAY better than the last 2 UFC events...
A few random thoughts...
What a Pride event! Haven't gotten to see the second half yet, but Cro-Cop/Silva and Emelianenko/Kharitonov were both pretty good. Oh yeah, Barnett did pretty well for himself too
Glad to see Marquardt coming back. I supported him from the beginning (although of course, everybody says that now)
Tyson Griffin is going to do very well in the UFC given enough experience.
Petruzelli/Hamill... I take it Seth moved down to lt. heavyweight. Hamill's big and strong, but not experience enough to take on even a lower-tier fighter like Petruzelli yet.
Aleks showed a lot in that fight...he took a of a punch, recovered, and hammered out the win...A few random thoughts...

Yep, Seth dropped down to LHW but has gotten hurt just before each scheduled appearance (whether on a PPV or e) since he was on TUF. He can throw some wicked kicks...Matt better get him down quick...
i am looking foward to those fights
Have you heard of Jens Pulver? He's a new guy...
Yawn.
OSU football putting you to sleep??
Thanks for sharing...
