That Shamrock suspension is bullshit, thats UFC digging deep into the pockets of the athletic commision to make the Ortiz win look legit. Everybody saw the fight, the stoppage was blatantly premature, this does nothing but harm the credibility of the UFC and Zuffa.
Don’t the fighters who lose get a general 30-day suspension from action anyways in the first place? It would seem consistent with other NSAC rulings.
