To quote Mr.Middlebrook, Nick Diaz's lawyer, what happened during the hearing of the NSAC on 14.09.15 is much bigger than Nick Diaz. The behaviour of Pat Lundvall in particular was disgraceful. She was vindictive and rude. She, and the other commissioners, ignored the law and ignored their own rules and regulations. They also paid no attention to the facts presented by the legal advisers of Mr.Diaz.

I was just listening to chael new episode on his podcast and he was telling Frank Mir UFC is working on a match between Fedor vs Anderson Silva on 205lbs, probably a event outside USA( i guess japan...). i must say i didn't really ever thought of this match but i get gooseflesh of it, that's awesome superfight. ofcourse chael's rumours are not always the best but sometimes he is right... i hope they to this match in a awesome japan PPV card with al kind of great old japan stars.

Ronda Rousey is fired up about Nick Diaz's suspension.

At a UFC 193 press conference in Australia on Tuesday night, the UFC women's bantamweight champion ripped the Nevada Athletic Commission (NAC) for banning Diaz five years due to a failed drug test for marijuana.

"It's so not right for him to be suspended five years for marijuana," Rousey said. "I'm against them testing for weed at all. It's not a performance-enhancing drug. It has nothing to do with athletic competition. It's only tested for political reasons. Читать дальше...

One of the most anticipated matchups in ONE Championship history is coming in two months.

Bellator's one-night tournament is a go.

All four fighters from the light heavyweight tourney scheduled for Bellator MMA: Dynamite 1 on Saturday in San Jose came back clean in out-of-competition drug testing, according to California State Athletic Commission (CSAC) executive officer Andy Foster.

The competitors -- Muhammed Lawal, Phil Davis, Emanuel Newton and Linton Vassell -- were all tracked for random drug screens last month. Those four as well as every other fighter are subject to fight-night testing on site this weekend. Читать дальше...

At the UFC 193 press conference, UFC women's bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey, Holly Holm, and UFC president Dana White will answer questions from the media and fans Wednesday. UFC strawweight champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk and Valerie Letourneau are also scheduled to appear at the press conference.

When you're fighting in a four-man tournament boasting UFC vet Phil Davis, former Bellator champion Emanuel Newton and former Strikeforce champion Muhammed Lawal, it's tough to stick out.

After the Anderson Silva joke of a hearing, we went through with our resident lawyer and wrote a detailed article explaining what was wrong with the hearing process and some very simple steps that could make a BIG difference. After what happened with Nick, the article is even more relevant. Remember: this was written BEFORE the Diaz hearing and yet it reads as if he could've been written the day after - which is pathetic.

The biggest news came from Shannon Knapp during the Invicta 14 post-fight press conference announcing Cris Cyborg will be making a return to 140lbs (she previously defeated Shayna Baszler at 140lbs in her debut in America for Elite XC) on the November Invicta FC 15 card. The main event is a fantastic match up between Alexa Grasso and Livia Renata Souza for Souza's 115lbs Invicta title, however, "CYBORG WEIGH WATCH" may be the true main event.

Nick Diaz was fined $150,000 and suspended for five years by the Nevada Athletic Commission (NAC) for failing a post-UFC 183 drug test for marijuana use in January, and a few fighters seem to be split on the situation.
