epwar Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Well, the NSAC has said they are changing the ruling to a No Contest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted February 6, 2015 Author Share Posted February 6, 2015 Not that it isn't already academic seeing as it's coming from Bob Bennett, Damon Martin tweeted that Francisco Aguilar told him the commission still has to vote to overturn the result. Jeremy Botter @jeremybotter 1m Guys, the NSAC has NOT ruled Silva/Diaz a No Contest! They have to actually vote on it before that happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elsalvajeloco Posted February 8, 2015 Author Share Posted February 8, 2015 http://www.bloodyelbow.com/2015/2/8/8001233/report-ufc-blocked-2-17-million-payment-anderson-silva-ufc-news Anderson Silva has reportedly had R$ 6 16 million (roughly $ 2.17 6 million US) blocked by the UFC due to his pre-fight drug test failure. Veja.com.br reported the news, stating that the money will be released after the Nevada Athletic Commission has made its final rulings on Silva's case. The amount is the sum of his $600,000 purse to show, win bonus of $200,000, and his pay-per-view points. After a 13-month layoff, "The Spider" returned to the Octagon and beat Nick Diaz by unanimous decision in the five-round main event of UFC 183 on January 31. However, Anderson was caught using performance-enhancing drugs in a random test taken on January 9. Drostanolone and androstane were found in his system. Pending a vote by NAC officials on February 17th, the bout is likely to be turned into a no contest. Besides the potential overturned result, Anderson's win bonus may be forfeit because of the doping issue. Also, he is expected to be fined and suspended by the NAC.

Elsalvajeloco Posted February 10, 2015 Author Share Posted February 10, 2015 Yes, because PED users are never in the title picture. Those people usually figure out how to pass their blood and urine tests more often than not. You want to talk about this being a brutal year for the UFC now?

I'm sure Dana would prefer the big PPVs numbers minus the "Jones tested positive for coke" and "Anderson Silva test positive for steroids" headlines.

BTW Lombard was - until testing positive like a dumbass - booked to be in a title eliminator against Rory. So somebody at Zuffa (finally) felt he was worthy of being in the title picture.

They got through 06-07 fine and that was when people really had no idea people were actually being tested. Dana and the Fertittas have been around for what? Fifteen years now at least. They've seen some TERRIBLE shit. You take the good with the bad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
