  1. Alex Davis says:

    So now we have this drama atmosphear created around drug positives? Why wait if you allready have the names? Seems to me that this is notthe right and professional way to anounce these things

  2. sheldon says:

    I hope its Fedor, that would be very very funny. He’d have to give up that ugly Wamma belt

  3. sprewell says:

    it’s probably Edwin Dewees.

  4. Skwirrl says:

    Dewees in Affliction and either Nick Thomson or Antonio Silva in Elite. I’m guessing on the 2 from Elite because Nick was busy studying for the bar and could have decided to use a little boost in training and Antonio because he probably is missing that extra 20 lbs of muscle he lost when he got that tumor removed.

  5. 45 Huddle says:

    Don’t they typically release the failed drug test after the “A” Sample tests positive? I thought that is what they did for Sean Sherk (I could be wrong). Perhaps they decided to get all the info before moving forward.

    If it is Fedor who tests positive, Dana White will have a field day with it. It will also make Nogueira the #1 Heavyweight in the world again (in a weird way). Once a fighter tests positive, his entire career is always tainted in some way. And this is coming from a Sean Sherk fan.

  6. sprewell rimz says:

    Silva and Deweeds. lmao at all these geeks wanting it to be Fedor.

  7. Jeremy (not that Jeremy) says:

    “Wanting?”

    I figured it was probably Tim Sylvia.

  8. Jeremy (not that Jeremy) says:

    So Silva won his belt boosted, I guess he loses his belt or there will be an interim titleholder. Not great considering this was the inaugural belt fight at his weight class in EliteXC.

  9. Kimbo vs. Ken Shamrock on CBS for the EliteXC Title

  10. zack says:

    “I hope its Fedor, that would be very very funny.”

    Wow you’re not a faggot. Oh wait…you are.

  11. Jeremy (not that Jeremy) says:

    Zach, anything that can be done about our homophobic troll here?

  12. Ivan Trembow says:

    Antonio Silva and his camp have “no idea” how illegal horse steroids were found in his urine sample? Give me a break. Hopefully they can at least come up with a better series of excuses than Sean Sherk did when he tested positive for a different anabolic steroid (it was contaminated testing equipment… even though my “B sample” was tested at a completely different lab than my “A sample”… and they just happened to both test positive for the same amount of the same anabolic steroid…). Just as should have been the case with Sherk, Silva should have been stripped of his title immediately after the results of the B sample were publicly announced.

  13. Zack says:

    Jeremy…I’m not a troll, and Zach knows I’m not anonymous. If he wants to delete my post, he can.
