[Amare's Right Hook]

Nope.

Damn that sucks on the Nike deal.

 

[So UnThotful]

the Commission can have authroity to dish out Community service?

 

[The Infamous]

I'm reading conflicting reports. Some sites are saying Jones lost his blue-collar Nike deal [not 6-figures] and a potential 6 figure [unnamed] sponsorship. While some sites are saying his Nike deal was 6-figures.

That sucks that he lost his Nike sponsorship over that "brawl"/ "I'll will literally kill you" stuff, did it look bad, sure but it's pretty tame considering half the shyt other sports get away with.

The Nike association was important for MMA even as relatively minor as their visibility was, helped with the look of legitimacy.

All that said tho that should be pretty spirited fight when it happens given the fallout


@arielhelwani: Official: Wanderlei Silva has been given a lifetime ban in Nevada and fined $70,000 for running away from a random drug test.

Thats fukking harsh. Guess hes only fighting in Jungle fights. Full circle of fight life

Wand gets banned for life and fined 70k, while Overeem was given a conditional license for doing the same thing.

 

[Medulla Oblongata]

Nate Diaz will fight RDA on UFC on Fox 13.



Tl;dr: Rashad is willing to fight Gustafsson and he's eying a February return.

Wasn't he supplying samples(from his doctor granted) to at least appear like he was cooperating instead of Wand who flat out dipped and left the country without any warning?

Had the same thought. Overeem used the "what had happened was" defense and it was a wrist slap
