I read Matt Brown is in some trouble for assaulting his coach so there may be issues now with him fighting.
I suspect the UFC is trying to delay Rory from getting a title shot as long as possible but eventually they will have to give it to him. I get the feeling they only want exciting, entertaining and marketable (for Reebok) title holders and Rory does not fit the bill.

Kinda hyped for the press conference on Wednesday. Dana has hinted that it's not going to be pleasant. Get your popcorn ready!

changes regarding drug testing and penalties?
SkinnyPupp

On Wednesday we'll find out if UFC is serious about eliminating PEDs from the sport or not. They can cut it out now by making severe penalties for failing tests. The next year or two of events will be ruined (like I keep saying, almost everyone is going to fail an out of competition test) but it should be clean after that.
Their other option is to keep doing what they're doing, and put things off until later. But then it'll only get worse, and the issue is always going to be there...
Not really racist!

They'll probably shame Silva and Hector then talk for a super long time about getting of PEDs and how serious it is, blah blah blah without changing much of their policy
Fact of the matter is they lose too much money every time someone gets busted, especially a big name

Rumor: Hunt vs Miocic May 16. That would be a good one
Am I the only who noticed that Henderson was fighting with a toothpick in his mouth... again??
He had it in his mouth right after he subbed Thatch. How can he keep getting away with this?
Berz out.

He tested positive for two types of benzos... are these even banned? They're just anti anxiety meds...
He also tested positive for drostanolone, meaning he was still on steroids during the fight.
We all knew that though. What I want to know is why did they disclose the benzos if they're not banned?
Not really racist!

I'm still curious why he fail-pass-failed... unless it was a false negative
So he actually wasn't cycling off at all?
According to the commission its a stimulant, so they can release it for grounds of disciplinary action? Not sure

I recall Forrest Griffin getting popped for Xanax when he fought Silva and it was released to the public as well. I was always under the impression that you could get a TUE for prescribed psych medications granted you declared it to the commission before the fight with an ample amount of time.
Well it looks like they're going for it. Randomized out of competition drug tests for everyone, starting July 1. They're going to spend up to $5 million on this :ahwow:
