I'm going to laugh hard when Brock gasses about two minutes in; this reeks of 'prop fight', but we should expect nothing less from the Japanese.

I can't help but feel Sakuraba and Gracie will dissapoint. After something as amazing as their first fight, how could it not? They're both older, Sak's pretty full of injuries, and Gracie's on the decline. We'll just see what happens, I guess.

Randy's the man. I look forward to seeing him successfully defend his title, namely because I know he's doing anything but looking past Gonzaga.

Martin Kamppann has backed out of the Franklin fight (knee injury) so replacing him will be Yushin Okami...looks like a pretty compelling fight, non?

NSAC Suspends Guillard for Cocaine Use

Thursday, May 10, 2007
by Sherdog.com Staff

Lightweight Melvin Guillard was suspended for eight months and fined $2,100 on Wednesday by the Nevada State Athletic Commission after the New Orleans native tested positive for a metabolite of cocaine following his loss to Joe Stevenson on April 5.

This marks the first time a mixed martial artist was suspended for cocaine by the NSAC. According to a report on MMAweekly.com, Guillard told the commission he used cocaine on March 30 and expected it to be out of his system by the time he stepped into the Octagon for his UFC Fight Night main event bout against Stevenson.

"I've only been introduced to drugs in the past year or so," Guillard (20-6-1, 1 NC) was reported to have said in front of the NSAC.

"I made an honest mistake," continued the 24-year-old, who is eligible to return to the cage in December. "I embarrassed myself, and I embarrassed my family."
