Saturday, January 7th, 2006MMA Weekly reports that Marquardt’s suspension by the Nevada State Athletic Commission due to a drug test is now cleared up. Marquardt is expected to fight in UFC again.

Who’s Next For Fedor Emelienenko?
Saturday, January 7th, 2006“Throw Him To The Russian!” Who’s Next For Fedor Emelienenko?

Tuesday, January 3rd, 2006Gryphon reports that Dokonjonosuke Mishima is out of DSE/DEEP and that Masanori Suda is likely gone from Shooto.
