MMA 18: [MMA]rrested Development: UFC Supports Drunk Driving and Domestic Violence

So, apparently, when someone on Twitter says that "Fedor > the UFC" and you mention that Werdum, Bigfoot and Hendo are all in the UFC, that is considered trolling and they block you on Twitter.

Who knew that common sense was trolling?

So it seems Overeem has in fact applied for his Nevada fight licence. So if the panel find him guilty of PED use, then he won't be able to fight for a whole year. Does he have some sort of uberexcuse lined up?

As good as Eddie Bravo is at BJJ, I'm pretty sure he's insane.

He's not insane, he's just dumb and eccentric

ChillyWilly

Guys, I was looking for something like Insanity, but with more douchiness. Do you guys know where...

Hey.

He has to have an Ace up his sleeve because he still isn't asking for them to test sample B.

My guess is that he admits to protect steroid use and claims it absolutely wrecked his ability to produce his own testosterone. There will be a doctor there who is prescribing him TRT and will back up his story.

He will then claim that he was not yet licensed to fight and should not have been subject to a random drug test. He will also note that he was unable to apply for an exemption because of it and his levels are now normal.

TehSpectre

Protect = previous

also, the NSAC board will look dumb (which they hate) and will still suspend him for 6 months.

He'd still need a properly-filed waiver, if I understand the rules correctly.

Todd "TRT" Duffee wins a match after 3 years!

Mike Russow's KO of him is still the best thing.

he is subject to random drug test though through the terms of his provisional license he had to fight brock after he fucked up that drug test
in fact he still has one more left to go on that agreement
NSAC would destroy him if he tried to claim that

Sounds about right, and I hope he gets it too, cos we all knew he was juicing but we still want to see that fight.

I assumed that only applied to him while he was fully licensed down the line. As of right now his provisional license is expired.

Those wrestling warnings are the classic "HOLY FUCK WE ARE SO RAW"
...don't try this at home

They're about as earnest as a tobacco-funded anti-child smoking ad. They don't educate you about anything, they're just to help cover asses from prosecution.

And considering that the victim got choked out at a wrestlemania party, the warnings are clearly not working!

People die in car accidents while wearing their seat belts with airbags installed, the seat belts and air bags are clearly not working!

You're right though. Corporations like the UFC need to earnestly do more.

I'll have to listen to the audio again later to be sure, but cage potato's writeup of that hearing seems to not indicate anything about licensing when administering the two random tests

"When all was said and done, NSAC officials after deliberating briefly, granted Overeem’s special “conditional license,” as they collectively felt it was “inappropriate” to deny his license request because of the incident. The main condition, besides that his outstanding urine sample come back clean, are that he submit two random drug tests within the next six months as requested by the commission."

source
they also felt that the press conference test satisfies the requirements of the agreement

"As you might remember, after some difficulties keeping to Nevada’s required drug testing late last year, Alistair Overeem was given a license that required he undergo two more random tests from the commission. The surprise one he submitted to yesterday will count as one."

As for your facetiousKana comment about links to safety gear needing safety warnings... that's redundant. That's the whole point of safety gear, to protect against injuries and accidents. It's like saying safety goggles need warnings that they do nothingthe user is about to engage in activities that could injure their eyes... or bicycle or motorcycle helmets needing warnings that they could fall and injure their heads. I'm sure the people who BUY safety gear already know this, and are buying the gear specifically to prevent this. Besides, the item descriptions themselves have the safety warning you requested
A link to show the safety warning and to give you an idea of the original price: http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_SPM3487202502P?prdNo=18

The posting of sales on safety equipment is itself a warning against practicing martial arts or sparring without it. There are still deplorable people out there who spar people smaller than themselves without any safety equipment and feel proud when they bloody their opponent's nose. I'm hoping that the posting of sale items would encourage people to train smart and train safe.

Please address my specific example of the Korean Zombie discount T-shirt. I believe the Korean Zombie hasn't provided any safety warnings anywhere on it. Why aren't you holding him accountable?

I think I have discovered Reem's defence for the appeal.

They never said he had to pass either of the random tests.

Nooo don't do it Bob Sapp!

Seriously, isn't Bob just about the worst possible dude to go against Pudzwaijkdflsjfklzi? You're supposed to dodge around him for 2 minutes until he gasses, but Sapp's never exactly been known as light on his feet.

Of course I suppose that's pretty much the point...

Shadowen

If it is physically possible to kill Bob Sapp barehanded, I wouldn't be surprised if Pudzianowski actually killed him. I mean, from what I've seen, he has no tank to speak of, and his technique isn't great, but he hits like a fuckin' Mack truck.

You're referring to Sapp with this, right?

Both fighters may seem similar, with the low gas tank and monster strength, but there's a few notable differences. Pudz is classically trained in karate and finishes folks with leg kicks. Sapp is the guy who throws huge meat hooks but goes down at the slightest tap.

It's still a feeding match for Pudz, unless Sapp pulls a miracle and lands a punch ala Ernesto Hoost and Kimo.

Peter Ebel

I really hope Mark Hunt gets the title shot. That would be the craziest shit since I saw a colour commentator fill in for a fighter that no showed.

More MMA news for you folks.

The Bellator HW tourney is totally cursed: http://vendettafighter.com/news/cole-konrad-vs-eric-prindle-moved-to-bellator-70/



This little bit of news about Frank Trigg has been making the rounds on Twitter today. If any of it is true, then he's a massive scumbag on a Brett Rogers level: http://thedirty.com/2012/04/mma-fighter-frank-trigg-strangles-his-wife-after-eating-lunch-with-her-co-worker/

B:L

I like how the UFC 145 main event promos aren't focused on which fighters like more, but rather which fighter the fans hate less.

Regarding Frank Trigg...

WHAT THE FUCK. That's horrible. The scary thing is that he seemed like a normal guy in interviews and when he was commentating for fights and EA MMA.

You just never know about people.

Chessboxing909

Man I miss Marloes. I want to see her fight again. I'd rather not see her lose an arm against Rhonda though, I actually like Marloes so that wouldn't sit well. And wow what the fuck Frank Trigg.

that's still not the worst thing he's ever done

Also, sucks, just got back in from the chiro, I knocked a rib out of alignment and strained a load of muscles in my back, I'm out for a week. Went for a triangle on a big spastic guy and got folded up a bit on thursday and it had been bothering me since. I made it a point to stick with shit I knew I could manage a bit better and made life suck for him at saturdays class, woke up sunday just miserable and got it checked today. Glad to hear I'm only out a week though.
