Damn, Rampage doesn't give Hewani a break in their interviews.

I love it and I cant help but laugh. Its half serious and half a joke. I think Rampage seriously doesnt like Ariel but doesnt care enough not to give him an interview.

also, not a fan of the ref from the Story fight at all. In the fight he did earlier i thought he was a little impatient and then in the Story fight he stood them up in the middle of a submission attempt. I thought he was awful all night.

Definitely. I said the same earlier. Guy was terrible.

Pretty good night of fights. I feel somewhat bad for Story. Hopefully, he learn something from that fight. And that last fight was just Wow. Barry thought he had him and just walked right into a buzz saw. Did you guys catch the look on Britney's face when he went out?

After watching the fight, I tend to think that the fight should have been stopped, but nevertheless great comeback KO by Kongo. KOTY anyone?
Edit, I love Pat Barry: http://www.sherdog.com/videos/recent...he-Winner-3117

I still have the Stout and Anderson Silva KOs rated higher.

Well its officially not a failed drug test that caused Nate to not get medically cleared. In case anyone isnt aware, Marquardt is scheduled to clear the air tomorrow afternoon sometime but according to the following article its not drug related.

http://www.mmamania.com/2011/6/27/2247091/nate-marquardt-cut-by-ufc-and-suspended-by-pennsylvania-athletic#storyjump

According to the commission's website, while in the course of applying for a license, a professional fighter must provide a negative HIV, Hepatits C and Hepatitis B surface antigen exam. They must also provide the results of an annual medical exam. That exam is wide-ranging and covers potential issues related to vision, lungs, heart rate, the nervous system, coordination and more that could disqualify a fighter from competition. In addition, there is language in the regulations that offers the commission the latitude to request other exams. The stated medical requirements are similar to those of other states, including Nevada and New Jersey.
All of the test aforementioned results are considered the fighter's private medical information and kept confidential under federal HIPAA laws. Federal or Pennsylvania state law does not, however, prohibit disclosure of a positive drug test result, nor the type of drug which led to a confirmed positive test.
Sirb confirmed that if Marquardt had failed a drug test, the commission would have released those findings.
"I've been here 22 years and we do not embarrass anybody," he said. "But we would have said, 'drug test.'"

I'm going to guess Nate has HIV/STD and didn't disclose it to the doctors before his medical.

I can't think of anything else since it doesn't look to be a weight, drug, or criminal issue.

Sonnen was in trouble with the law and plead guilty and White never used the word disgusted.

I can't think of anything else.

Thats just it though, they knew about it 6 weeks prior to his fight as they have said numerous times that Nate and the UFC both knew and he had 6 weeks to get it taken care of and never did so to me that takes out anything serious like HIV or an STD since you cant really just get rid of that.

Side note, just watched the fights and that Barry/Kongo fight was insane. Kongo looked to be out cold briefly when he got folded up and then he threw that million dollar bomb and knocked Barry out cold. Pretty damn good night of fights though, although the ref in the Oliveira fight was terrible, how he missed the illegal knee that led to a submission win is beyond me but whatever.

Re: UFC on Versus 4: Marquardt v Story, June 26

Reffing for the whole night was awful. The guy in the Lentz/Olivera fight who I believe was Chip Snider should be barred from reffing again. From missing the illegal knee, to not shutting up during fights constantly telling guys to keep working and be more aggressive. He was abysmal.

Just saw the Kongo KO. Unreal.

I liked him telling them to keep working, too many fights end up with someone laying on someone else for 3 rounds. He was terrible otherwise though.

It may have come from the UFC also, its free on Versus so they want to get a lot of action to get people to buy the PPVs.

Maybe, I think it deserves a mention though.

Nate was cut because of testosterone therapy and the PA Commission wouldn't let him fight.

What a let down..........

Isnt that the same thing Sonnen said he was doing when he got popped following the Silva fight? Where did you get this info at anyways? According to what I read Nate is scheduled to talk at 1:00 ET so he hasnt even talked yet.
