I would have bet the house that as much as i like Randy he was going to lose, but he is the best. What pissed me off was Tim talking about an injury in the ring, fuck him and his injury.

Nick Diaz has tested positive for marijuana following his stunning submission win over Takanori Gomi on Feb. 24, Sherdog.com learned Monday afternoon.

According to Nevada State Athletic Commission executive director Keith Kizer, Diaz is the only mixed martial artist tested on the PRIDE 33 card to return a positive result for a banned substance.

The 23-year-old welterweight from Stockton, Calif. declined to comment on the news. Diaz' manager, Cesar Gracie, offered his support to Diaz while saying he does not condone the use of marijuana.

Diaz captured his PRIDE debut versus Gomi, the Japanese organization's 161-pound champion, in spectacular fashion. Afterwards, it was learned that Diaz had suffered a fractured orbital bone and was medically suspended up to six months. While the NSAC has discretion, suspensions for the use of marijuana have been for a similar period of time.

Totally agree.. I had Tim winning this.. but Randy was inspirational.. he controlled Tim on the feet which was amazing.. I think it goes to show how good Chucks standup and sprawling is.. Randy had nothing against him in the last fight..

Im not sure, maybe this is a dumb statement

By the way.. that Dana White interview was awsome!!

--Dana White said that regarding the broadcast of UFC 70 on 4/21 from Manchester, England into the U.S., that nothing is finalized right now, but it will most likely be on Spike and not HBO.

I wish Rampage would get one more fight before Chuck just to get him used to the octogon

 

[onebigeric]

Well, we do have one UFN between 70&71. If Rampage really wants it, I'm sure Dana would give it to him. That'd give him something like two and a half weeks between fights, but it's Jackson. He's crazy

Van Damme is in Croatia right now with Cro Cop



looks like Cro Cop hired a secret weapon to prep him for his next fight

 

[CaptainCharisma]

heres the accompanying article translated from Croatian:

World Famous kickboxer Mirko Crocop has been sited out on the town with fallen action icon Jean Claude Van Damme in recent weeks. As they saw the sites, discussing kickboxing and film, they stopped to chat with us and shared some future plans and the details of their new relationship.

"Forming a bond"

Apparently Mirko and Van Damme had a mutual acquiatenance, Mirko's manager and long time friend: Zvonimir Lučić, who introduced them after discovering their mutual admiration for each other. Immediately the two hit if off, having a similiar fighting background, fame, and a rare chemistry. They referred to themselves as inseparable since their eyes first met. Mirko appeared to joke, pointing out how much he liked Van Damme's stylish comb over and chiseled quadracep muscles, while Van Damme, admittedly quite intoxicated, responded that "he better mean that."

"A joyous day."

They were also accompanied by a child they recently adopted together, the details on this were not clear due to Van Damme's intoxication, however Mirko beamed and remarked family is everything.

Mirko talked about his upcoming fight in the UFC, and that Jean Claude had been invaluable in helping maintain his spirit and drive while training for a fighter he really didn't see as a worthy opponent.

-"The important thing is that you stay focused," said Crocop, "sometimes I don't feel like training, but now I have Jean Claude to lean on, sometimes his approval is what keeps me going. He's my rock. He never loses his strength."

-Jean Claude added a few more words, but by that time he was barely able to stand, although he seemed very happy as Mirko hefted him onto his broad shoulders and said goodnight.



LOL Mirko is such as asshhole sometimes he sees Gonzaga as like no threat whatsoever...I love Cro Cop

oh and, Cro Cop with Van Damme "inspiring & motivating" him = things that reek of so much awesomeness that they cant even be put into words

 

[fistacuffs]

^^ wow.. really homo-erotic

 

[fallen]

that is a whole lot of gayness there and that scares me lol

 

[onebigeric]

C'mon Mirko, no need to bat for the other team

Maybe there's something lost in the translation
