Chael Sonnen Busted
Sonnen vs Silva
Looks like Chael Sonnen may have to wait a bit longer before he gets his re-match aganst Anderson Silva. Sonnen has tested positive for peformance enhancing drugs according to the California State Athletic Commission Executive Officer George Dodd.
The complete details to the shocking news have not yet been released, but something tells me lots of people will be very interested to see how this turns out.
As many of you MMA fans out there know, Sonnen just came off an epic fight in which he literally beat up on Anderson SIlva for five rounds, but unfortuntaely he got caught by a submission in the fifth round to lose the fight.
It’s no secret that Sonnen gained a ton of fans in that fight (not to mention his colorful trash talk), but it may be all for nothing as a PED allegation isn’t exactly something that’ll make you look good to fight fans. Not to mention the nice words Sonnen had for Lance Armstrong in relation to PED’s (you can watch that video here).
Here’s a video of Sonnen doing what Sonnen does best (do I really need to tell you what that is).

UFC 119 Preview
Mir vs Cro Cop
Mir vs Cro Cop at UFC 119
On September 25th, 2010 Frank Mir and Mirko ‘Cro Cop’ will step into the Octagon to see who will get one step closer to the UFC Heavyweight title. Mir is coming off a devastating 1st round KO loss to Shane Carwin which sets him back in his quest to fight for the title. Cro Cop, on the other hand, is coming off a high in which he clawed back from a horrible frst round to submit kickboxing ace Pat Barry. A win by Cro Cop could propel him deep into the title mix while a win by Mir will bring him one step closer to his ultimate goal. What makes this fight even more appealing is the fact that both fighters will giving everything they have to move closer to a fight against the Heavyweight champ.
UFC 119 will also feature undefeated Light Heavyweight prospect Ryan Bader taking on MMA veteran Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira in what is sure to be a stand up fighting clinic.
