Sherk is currently appealing the commission’s test as is his right.

http://www.sherdog.com/news/news.asp?n_id=8368

After the commission hears Sherk's appeal then the UFC will decide what action to take. If the commission doesn't overturn the positive test then I expect Sherk to be stripped of the title.

 

This isn’t true.

From something Dave Meltzer wrote, a while back, about the ESPN coverage of the Royce Gracie failing a drug test.

The important part is in bold and is, also, underlined.

 

This is a good thread, but it's unfortunate that it needs to attack MMA on the way. Mixed martial arts are actually about to hit a high water mark--unification of the two major titles (Pride and the UFC) is underway. It's finally coming of age as a sport.

As for boxing, it will (I hope) continue to grow stronger. All of the P4P talent is concentrated in one division (welter) and the matchups are starting to be made. Heavyweight is also looking better, and is even facing partial unification (!).

And Zakman, enough with the pro-wrestling allusions. It's silly. :roll:

 

totally agree 100percent

great fighters fighting great fighters

good fighters having great fights

the best fighting the best eg

pbf-oscar,pbf-hatton,b-hop-winky,calz-kess,sultan-chagaev

ufc will fade away into oblivion in 3years or so

 

:good

 

To be honest, 2007 has some EXCELLENT big fights.

 

2007 has been a great year for boxing, long may it reign. Why people thought a sport that has existed in its current rules for 120 years will disappear within a few years is beyond me.

However, its a pity the insecure and ignorant boxing fans have to come here and bash MMA. :roll:
Both sports are alive and kicking, and will do fine.

 

I've got no grudge against MMA, I just very rarely watch it. I also, genuinely believe, it will fade out. To me at least, it dosen't have any real substance. I realsie to plenty of people it does and is currently the most fascinating thing in their lives, but it just dosen't do it for me. Watching MMA would be akin to eating spaghetti bologneses without the bolognese!!

With boxing, at least you get a chance to watch certain fighters progress in their careers. You can see them steadily increase the level of competition and watch to see how far they can go. Yes, boxing has it's faults but when it's at it's absolute best, there is not other sport on earth that can touch it.

 

It annoys you that MMA is getting equal coverage with boxing? Why? what makes you an authority on what gets shown?

If there is interest in a sport, it will be shown on TV. Does it annoy you that NASCAR gets more coverage than boxing?
Do you think Boxing deserves the limelight more than MMA? If so thats your opinion, but don't try and create a thread and say its 'obviously inferior' because not everyone agrees with you, thats you opinion, you state that as if it's fact, which your word is not.
The fact that last year UFC had more PPV buys than boxing combined proves that point.
