Im kinda lost on the Mike Sawyer article…? Who’s talking about what?
I am pretty sure that Mike Sawyer blurb is refering to Kevin Randleman. Randleman was a guest on MMAWeekly radio tonight.
No wonder Kev lasted so long in Shogun’s leg lock.
Breaking news from WrestlingObserver.com:
“Kit Cope, who headlined Zuffa’s first World Extreme Cagefighting event on Saturday night in Las Vegas, tested positive for the steroid Boldenone (Equipoise) according to the Nevada State Athletic Commission.”
Just a stupid, stupid, man. STUPID~!

Those cheating Zuffa fighters…
But seriously: look at the number of fighters who are testing positive for banned substances (or cheating the tests) and LOSING!!! Just goes to show you.
KIMO
Bonnar
Vitor
Nastula

Watching Herring vs. O’Brien makes me 100% confident that knees on the ground need to be brought back. O’Brien literally dropped to his knees on multiple occasions, and Herring had no weapons against him. Very frustrating fight to watch, especially since Herring has no wrestling skills and O’Brien stalled so much. I wasn’t a fan of either before the fight, and I am certainly still not a fan of either after that fight.
