Fuck it, its 2012 and you don't have a MMA thread in a sports forum? Fuck it, we have a ppv every two weeks at least...

arbitration

Mods need to merge some of the threads we started into this

Well its 2 weeks Davis is gonna lose to Rashad, even though I hope Davis wins.

Hopefully Sonnen wins. If he does win, that rematch is Anderson has been earned. I just need to see that rematch.

I hope Maia beats Bisping, but I got a feeling that Maia gets pounded.

On second review, that Edson Barbosa kick was worst than I thought. I can't embed this, but this website slowed the kick by 500%.

If Barry loses to Morecraft he should be cut. He shouldn't be fighting on any main card right now thats for sure.

King Mo tests positive for steroids following knockout win over Lorenz Larkin

Former Strikeforce light heavyweight champion Muhammad Lawal has tested positive for anabolic steroids (Drostanolone) following his Jan. 7, 2012, technical knockout (TKO) win over Lorenz Larkin at the Strikeforce: "Rockhold vs. Jardine" Showtime event at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) Executive Director Keith Kizer today alerted MMAmania.com to the results of Lawal's drug test.

Also screened for performance enhancing drugs, as well as drugs of abuse were Luke Rockhold, Keith Jardine, Robbie Lawler, Muhammed Lawal, Tyron Woodley, Tarec Saffiedine, Tyler Stinson, Nah-Shon Burrell, James Terry, Gian Villante, Trevor Smith, Ricky Legere, Chris Spang, Estevan Payan and Alonzo Martinez.

Those fighters all passed with flying colors.

"King Mo" becomes the second high-profile Strikeforce fighter to test positive for steroids in recent weeks. Former women's champion Cristiane Santos was popped for Stanozolol following her Dec. 17, 2011, win over Hiroko Yamanaka.

Star-divide

Drostanolone, also found in previous drug test results from Josh Barnett and Hermes Franca, is popular among athletes and competitive bodybuilders because its "anti-estrogenic properties make it a very effective cutting agent."

Which is exactly the argument (cutting weight) Cyborg made in her recent statement.

Lawal has the right to appeal the results; however, if he's unsuccessful, he's likely to have his win over Larkin reversed to a "no contest," in addition to a steep monetary fine and one-year suspension of his fight license.

The weight cutting process has already suffered a black eye in the wake of Anthony Johnson's weight cutting fiasco back at UFC 142 and if fighters are now dependent on banned substances to try and make their contractual limits, things could continue to get worse.

Stay tuned to MMAmania.com for more information on "King Mo's" drug test results as it becomes available.

Bisping vs Sonnen is going to be great

Bisping: "Chael Sonnen’s best weapon is his mouth, and that’s something that’s going to be absolutely useless in this fight...I see a very bright future for Chael Sonnen as a used car salesman very soon."

Chael: "I am going to knock the teeth out of this snot nosed Brit who calls himself royalty, who calls himself a Count....I am MMA royalty and America will tune into the Chael Sonnen show next Saturday on FOX."

Bisping: "He's been kicked out of politics, kicked out of real estate, and I am going to kick him out of the middleweight division."
