Sonnen vs Munoz likely headliner for UFC on FOX 2

http://mmainterviews.tv/2011/11/22/munoz-vs-sonnen-likely-to-headline-ufc-on-fox-2-on-january-28th/

Ellenberger vs Sanchez as well. It also mentions Guillard-Miller but pretty sure that's supposed to be the headliner for the FX card

ehh i think they could do better honestly

Didn't Sonnen just accept a fight in Brazil vs Spider???

Andy is ducking again.

Not what I want to see headlining FOX.

This does not seem consistent with what Dana White was saying in an interview just a couple days ago. How is this "a fight people have wanted to see"? I don't think this will be the FOX main event, not buying that for a second.

guys, ANderson is injured and out till june. Chael isn't waiting around like Evans did. good on him

From what I read Chael said he would prefer to wait. I would prefer that as well.

I'm not buying this as a main event either but Sonnen's promotion and being on a network tv would set up a huge PPV with Anderson (not that it wouldn't have been already)

Noice, Munoz is going to tap that ass.

anyone else thinking this is more then an act? He has already taken trash talk to new heights. Literally blows any other trash talker completely out of the water. He's a naturally low testosterone guy(that is the story right?), that takes legal steroids(does this pass in any other sport?), doesn't file paper work, tests for high levels, mortgage fraud, the run at senate post mortgage fraud, the weird rib, the tapping to a sub, and then denying it......


Bunch of whacked out MMA fighters out there.

There are sports that don't even test for TRT or have to deal with regular urine submissions to state athletic commissions. Not to mention many lifelong wrestlers develop testosterone issues later on in life due to the frequent weight cutting and dehydration. It's not like he's Josh Barnett or something. The issue isn't that he's on TRT, the issue is he failed to submit the proper paperwork for his levels, which he had done successfully before. TRT and steroids aren't even close to being the same thing.

"More details emerge on the Chael Sonnen drug saga as George Dodd, the CSAC official that first alerted the media on the failed drug test, talked to Lance Pugmire of the LA Times, and said that Chael tested positive for a "natural steroid", and it happened on his pre-fight drug test"

And it's not like he was using TRT(if we are to believe that that is really the root cause), to get his testosterone levels to normal, he had high testosterone levels. People need to stop acting like this did not happen.



The commission's full statement concerning Sonnen:

The California State Athletic Commission (CSAC) has suspended the license of Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) fighter Chael Sonnen, after Sonnen tested positive for steroids, a banned substance.

A sample from Sonnen's August 6 drug test came back with a high T/E (testosterone-to-estrogen) level, which is indicative of anabolic steroid use. CSAC learned of the results September 2 and ordered a second test, which also came back positive for steroid use. CSAC received test results from the second sample on September 14 and suspended Sonnen two days later. He is suspended for one year. Sonnen has 30 days to appeal the decision.

"The use of anabolic steroids and other banned substances are not tolerated by the commission," said CSAC Executive Officer George Dodd. "Anabolic agents put the health and safety of both the user and his opponents at risk."

Sonnen's test was observed in the presence of a CSAC representative and the sample was sent to the World Anti-doping Agency test facility at the University of California, Los Angeles on August 6, 2010 for processing.

Dan Henderson is doing the same exact thing Chael is doing, but he doesn't seem to be getting any hate. Where are the pitchforks for Hendo?

I don't see Dan trashing nations and acting like a clown whenever a microphone is shoved infront of him.
