You gotta love Randleman. Dude is crazy. Remember the Pride US show v Rua (the fight he failed the test after) where he refused to tap. It was like a pro-wrestling match.
I saw this list posted on another forum by someone.. I personally can't confirm if all fighters were caught for PEDs or some forms of diuretics.
"Ok so sounds like it's confirmed that Sonnen failed drug test when he fought Silva. Apparently he was taking meds 4 flu n that made positive" http://twitter.com/nathanmarquardt
I wouldnt call a diurectic a PED. Although it is a banned substance. They're more dangerous to fighters than anything else though. And that list is pretty spot on from what i recall.
guess that would make sense.but what happens now if thats the only reason he fail if he even really failed at all and this is not a rumor?:huh
"It should be noted that Marquardt failed a drug test after his UFC debut against Ivan Salaverry at the inaugural Fight Night." source. http://www.cagesideseats.com/2010/9/19/1697588/chael-sonnen-reportedly-tests
Yea, it was funny, if a little sad. He knew he wasn't going to get out, but just kept waiting to tap until his leg was bent the wrong way. His main escape technique was hovering his hand above Shogun, waiting to tap.
No, but whenever there is a champion who has cleaned out a weight class that has a guy come in and shut him out for the first 4 rounds and the start of the 5th, most people would be interested in seeing that fight.
the only reason sonnen tapped is couse he saw paul daley and thought we was gonna run in and sucker punch him.if he wouldnt have sen daley he would have won
I do understand where you're coming from. But what's the big deal about one fighter nearly beating another. I mean in the UFC it's a virtual revolving door at the top. In virtually no time at all champions get beaten. And the belts are handed round like pass the parcel. I'm not really bothered who wins, I would like to see a good skilful fight. So what if Sonnen had one? Or wins a rematch? someone would probably beat him quite soon and he would be forgotten about like all the other yesterday's champions.
with the multi-million worth of dollars at stake. I thought they had ridiculously sophisticated tests. but I don't know much about it.
i would like to hope there test's are great and can over look something as simple as asprin and other over the counter medicines but i dont know,only time will tell but i just hope this isnt true chael had a great showing and it will do wonders for his career from here on out,but if this is true he will be the laughing stock like a josh barnett
