Yeah, casual fans probably don't even know so I'm sure he'll be fine.

I wonder if Metamoris signed the fight after the news because they are pretty much endorsing juice if they did.

If Metamoris gave a gently caress about juice they would be testing.

I don't disagree, but there is a yawning chasm between not giving a gently caress and actively endorsing as far as PR goes.

Yeah, definitely about protecting the brand. They don't pay known cheaters!

Chael nooooooo

I don't really get this decision by the Fox or the UFC. The dudes officially retired. Its not as if it was really in disgrace either. He was pretty open and forthright from the beginning about his PED use in the general public, even if behind the scenes he was trying to sell the commission a bridge.

What? He tried to pass it off as medically necessary in two different ways. That's very different form "yep, I'm juicing to enhance my performance."

There is no mystery about motivation. UFC and Fox both make money from MMA being popular. Employing known juicers, in some minds, makes the sport look like a joke. It seems like you are kind of ignoring the fact that he got caught being very naughty. His quick retirement only makes him look more guilty, and paying him to talk on TV would still be rewarding him.

Wow. Bringing a little bit of Vale Tudo to the USA.

You know what, it's their business. I'm just impressed by the (tiny) balls it takes.

Chael is a guy who cheated to win.

Haha!

edit: Faber said that in his Helwani interview.

The Jake Shields truth movement is coming to lay down on you. (Shields was featured in a really cool ad for that show so maybe he meant something. Probably less than hype for "The biggest UFC event ever in a sold out Skydome."

I'll never forget Aldo because he gave Hominick the biggest hematoma I've ever seen.
