[Doctor Doom]

 

[The Infamous]

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?

They are both equally at fault imo (Wand and Overeem). Providing a late sample from a personal doctor is as bad as not providing anything.

 

[Master Teacher]

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

did overeem run away or just get tested positive

 

[The Infamous]

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.

Nate is back UFC on FOX 13 is shaping up very nicely (Overeem/Struve, Diaz/RDA, JDS/Miocic, Formiga/Moraga & Gonzaga/Mitrione)

 

[Master Teacher]

I don't think I watched any MMA this month, at least Michael Page is co main event next month bellator

did overeem run away or just get tested positive

He ran away and gave a late sample from his personal doctor. The commission obviously didn't accept the sample.

 

[Medulla Oblongata]

Jon looks rough.

they probably just want wand out of the game for whatever reason, he needs to retire anyway

I don't deny that. But Overeem at least tried to give some BS. Plus that was when the commission was headed by that Keith Kizer idiot. Overeem would have probably faced a severe penalty if he did that today

Kizer being gone is the main difference. It's a totally different regime with him gone.

 

[TRIPLE M]

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.

well jones is not the only one
if you watch their last fights Junior Dos Santos and Anderson Silva weren't wearing nike either, and all were under contract with them
It seems to me Nike is cutting ties with MMA Sponsorship

 

[So UnThotful]

stumbled upon this on YT. Such an underrated fight

 

[Big Boss]

nike dropped jon jones

 

[joeychizzle]

Jones decided to go through with the brawl instead of ignore the shove. He fukked up. Goodbye Nike sucka, that video of him lamenting over the termination
shyt they released mike easton

LOL

They were all never signed with Nike like a Lebron James. What products could they actually push with those guys?
