Hopkins vs Dawson Declared No-Contest By California Commission
As was expected by many, the California State Athletic Commission has finally ruled on the October 15 debacle between Bernard Hopkins and Chad Dawson, declaring the fight a no-contest rather than a TKO-2 win for Dawson. This returns the fighters' records to 52-5-2 (32 KO) for Hopkins, and 30-1 (17...
UFC's Chael Sonnen admits that he will continue to fight on TRT
In an interview that to the best of my knowledge has been slept on by the MMA media, Chael Sonnen recently spoke to Dave Meltzer for an article on Yahoo! Sports. Maybe that's because Meltzer mainly focused on Chael's promo sizzle, rather than on the steak of whether his continued testosterone...
Pennsylvania AC don't screw up the Nate Marquardt hearing!

Will the Texas commission sanction Chael Sonnen's TRT at UFC 136?
Fighters Only Magazine recently broke the news that UFC is very close to signing Chael Sonnen vs. Lyoto Machida for UFC 136 on October 8th in Houston, Texas. Well it had to be in Texas, as Texas is likely the only athletic commission that will sanction Sonnen while he is still unlicensed by the...

Ontario commission reply Re: UFC 129 raises more questions than answers
About a week and a half ago, I wrote about the left eye injury that Georges St. Pierre sustained during his fight with Jake Shields in the main event of UFC 129, the first MMA event in Ontario, Canada. More specifically, I wrote about how something seemed off: GSP and his coach Greg Jackson loudly...
UFC's Chael Sonnen suspended in CA for perjury & money laundering
Well, that took long enough. Late last night, ESPN's Josh Gross and MMA Weekly's Damon Martin reported that UFC fighter Chael Sonnen has been suspended in California for the second time. This time, it's over concerns about his apparent perjury during the hearing to appeal his previous suspension...
Chael Sonnen's UFC licensing issues won't be over next week
Things aren't looking good for Chael Sonnen's dream, which he shares with UFC head honcho Dana White, of being redeemed as a babyface coach on the next season of The Ultimate Fighter by standing up to brash foreign heel Michael Bisping. Time is running out on him, as his issues with Keith Kizer,...
