I remember disliking Rivera, but I can't remember why now - did he get a win off of a flagrant foul that the referee missed?

The opposite - Rivera was winning his fight against Urijah Faber until Faber poked him in the eyes, missed by Mario Yamasaki. Rivera recoiled in pain and Faber jumped on him and got a RNC for the win.

Fransico Rivera just earned himself a four-year suspension for getting Clenbuterol into his system, claiming that he got it from eating meat in Mexico, and then submitting falsified documents to an independent arbitrator in an attempt to substantiate that claim.

Had he just accepted the initial suspension, he'd actually be back in action this year. He's out til 2020 now. I remember disliking Rivera, but I can't remember why now - did he get a win off of a flagrant foul that the referee missed?



Faber poked him in the eye then jumped on him right after and finished him.

other way around. Faber gouged his eyes and got the finish when Rivera was kicking his rear end.

See, I remember that clearly, but I seem to remember when that happened I went "well gently caress Rivera anyway" because he was already on my poo poo list.

Maybe it's because he beat Rolly Delorme and then failed a drug test.

He did get busted for ephedra but I don’t remember disliking him. He had wild slugfests even if he usually lost. That fight was more of a sign that Faber was slowing down and had to cheat to win.

This main card is so drat weird, two killer main events and 3 absolutely nothing fights with Thomas Almeida being the closest to a recognizable name. The whole undercard for 220 is just so lazily put together its been awhile since they've put together a card this strange.
