Yushin Okami said that "Chael is innocent, because he is a nice guy and he let me stay at his house for free, when I trained with him for the Linhares and Marquardt fight."
I want to make it clear that Chael Sonnen got suspended for "non-disclosure." I watched the online stream of the hearing. It showed how incompetent the CSAC is.
Alistair Overeem's win over an over the hill Peter Aerts has no barring on his MMA career.
M-1 Global management wants the Fedor Vs. Alistair Overeem fight to a non-title bout. Plus they want Alistair to go through a olympic level drug test and Fedor himself is willing to go through the olympic level drug test as well.
According to couple staff members at sherdog.com said that Strikeforce is working on an heavyweight mma tournament
Did you guys see that Huge Check Alistair Overeem was holding when he won the K1 Grand Prix?
$400,000
After taxes, at least he'll pocket about $250,000 for a nights work.
marlon AKA artnomad,
i'm pretty sure there is going to "under the table" undisclosed pay as well for him as well...
