Bisping champ? I put a little bet on him winning but even as I made it I wasn't sure how the fuck that could happen.
Also, Ariel Helwani banned for live for leaking about Lesnar?

Heart attack at 42. Years of drug abuse will do that to you!
I'm betting on Lesnar winning.

Performance enhancing or recreational?

It'll be PEDs. Fucking idiot. Career and legacy over/ruined.

Re: All purpose UFC/MMA thread
Must be PEDs because it was an out of competition test and recreational drugs are allowed in out of competition tests. Otherwise half the AFL would be wiped out.

I would love it if they cut him loose. He's just a bad face for the company... Hope DC wasn't banking on this one...

Tate and Nunes as the main event, Lesnar and Hunt as the co, DC and Anderson Silva 3rd billing.

Re: All purpose UFC/MMA thread
Surely Lesnar and Hunt is the main event. No one's paying $50 to watch 'UFC 200: Tate v Nunes'.
Also if you haven't already done so check out at least the main event from today's card, great fight.

Re: All purpose UFC/MMA thread
Checked the UFC site and it has Tate and Nunes as the main event.
I mean who wants a 3 round main event...

Re: All purpose UFC/MMA thread
So there's got to be some story here - for a while Lesnar v Hunt was main event - " onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; - but now it seems to be Tate v Nunes.

Re: All purpose UFC/MMA thread
I'd say it's because they are only doing max 3 rounds. They haven't trained for 5 rounds... They'll be tanking by the end of the second if they get that far. 5 rounds would be two big men slowly pacing around the octagon and somewhat boring.
People will still pony up to see Lesnar fight though. It's the true main event even if it isn't the main event.

Re: All purpose UFC/MMA thread
It would be unusual for two dudes that big to last longer than 2 rounds before someone gets finished
Vzzzbx, you lose again!

Re: All purpose UFC/MMA thread
So Brock too. Mark Hunt is not pleased.
I looked up a comprehensive list of failed drug tests among UFC athletes and found this which goes to 2014.

Brock's B sample tested positive for the same substance which is reported to be Clomiphene. Clomiphene is part of the protocol of drugs taken to restore natural hormone production after a cycle of anabolics.

Yep the whole thing is fucked.
Maybe PRIDE FC had the right idea, just don't bother with testing and put on good fights.

Chad Mendes banned for two years having tested positive for growth hormone (GHRP-6) from a May 17 out of competition test. Mendes said it was inadvertently ingested from skin cream used to treat a long standing condition.

Skin cream, asthma inhaler, tainted supplements, viagra.
There needs to be a betting pool on what excuses they come up with when they're busted.

Re: All purpose UFC/MMA thread
This is a shameless grab for cash that cheapens both the sports of boxing and MMA... but I can't wait. Can I give Foxtel the PPV money now?
