So Chael, you never went through puberty?

[funkatron101]

That must explain the high pitched voice, and lack of muscle definition then.

and the five o' clock shadow? Painted on to disguise the fact that he is a prepubescent boy of course!

Penalty reduced to 6 months.

I'm too lazy to find a link but it is true. Dropped to 6 months.

Right on. Wasn't doubting it was true, just wanted to read about it .

Other news that went under the radar at the same hearing; Josh Barnett was NOT reinstated by the CSAC. that's kind of lame because to me, he's the only opponent that makes sense for Fedor right now. Unless Bigfoot Silva wins his next fight two nights from now.

Too bad will never see Fedor vs Brock, both are coming off loses .

[Posey H8er]

Not only do I want Fedor vs Brock, I would equally be excited to see him rematch Werdum, fight Overeem, Velasquez, and JDS. Obviously those UFC guys may not happen for a while if ever. And I hate how SF and M1 take forever for fight cards to take place.

What a snake.

Hormone Replacement Therapy is diagnosed by quack doctors exactly as a means to giving athletes synthetic testosterone. Any body builder can give you the name of a doctor who will set you up. Essentially: if you're over 28, your testosterone levels will be diminished, you can be diagnosed with hypogonadism, and you can be RXd steroids.

Randy Couture, IIRC, has admitted to HRT. Though did not give details. Maybe I'm just remembering Rogan slipping up and mentioning this.

So looks like 3 month suspension in addition to the 3 months that have already elapsed.

We will see Chael back in the Octagon pretty quick here it seems. Where does this leave the middleweight title picture? Will feel bad if Okami gets snubbed again. Maybe Chael gets Vitor after Silva beats him. Or else maybe they let Chael pound on Bisping or Wand.

Bisping/Chael would be the ULTIMATE smacktalk fest. And Wand and Chael got into a verbal confrontation (did you guys see that video? it was pretty epic).

[CPT]

6 month suspensions are pretty bogus, considering guys typically take 3-4 months off between fights anyway. And LOL @ the $2,500 fine.

I'm not going to pretend to understand this condition that Sonnen may or may not have, but if the end result of treatment is a higher testosterone/estrogen level than his opponent, that still has to be considered an unfair advantage, doesn't it?

[TheBathinApe]

I was reading about how bad the athletic commission was, how the chairwoman did not even know Dana whites name and stuff. Like wow if you don't even know the president of the UFC's name, no way should you be regulating their fighters.

[REDDzone]

Haha to go along with that I read that they kept referring to Chael and other mixed martial artists as "boxers."

I don't really care if she knew Dana's name, but at least know what SPORT you are regulating, lmao.

Crazy, I had to look that up.

Man, as I think about the blathering that Sonnen did leading up to that fight, I'm curious to see just if Silva would change his gameplan in a rematch. And the reason being that IMO Silva was 100% determined to win that fight via his BJJ. Now Sonnen did crack him a few times standing, but would Silva be more interested in fighting on his feet?

Granted, I'm a HUGE Silva mark, so I'm more inclined to view that fight through the time fogged lens that Silva was fighting where he wanted.

[REDDzone]

I don't think it was Silva's choice to fight off his back, personally.

[REDDzone]

Love that vid btw. Love Wand, I don't think he has anything for Chael at this point though.

[SDM]

Chael would win it and all it would do is inflate his ego.

"I beat the most-feared striker ever and I didn't let him roll around on the ground with me like a gaylord" or something.

[funkatron101]

So no one has thoughts about what Chael actually said?
