Could this effect Summerslam too?

Well it would be a wellness policy violation, if they can even use one another agency found.  Lets say they can, it'd be 30 days, so probably not.

I suppose it depends on what substance has been detected. There are probably things that are banned on the USADA list that are allowed in the WWE wellness policy. Marijuana metabolites for example is a suspension under USADA but only a fine in WWE.

Mark Hunt's claiming he wants UFC to "get to the bottom of this" or he'll request his release. MMAFighting.com and the AP also both have 3 separate letters from USADA showing Lesnar coming back with clean tests before he tested positive on June 28th.

Hunt is even asking for half of Lesnar's purse from the fight, or he'll leave.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Man, I hope he enjoys fighting for Bellator......

This was not funny when you made the comment in the WWE thread. It's not funny the second time round too

I'm sure he probably would anyway since Bellator are offering comparable money to the UFC to guys who are free agents like Benson Henderson, Phil Davies and currently Rory Mac, and he would have free reign over his sponsorships again.

Jon Jones tested positive for an estrogen inhibitor, which would suggest that he was trying to combat the effects of increased estrogen production that comes about as a side effect of testosterone supplemenation.

Basically, he didn't want to grow no titties.

It says that he forfeits any winnings from his fights. Is this normal? Could Brock essentially lose everything that he earned? 

Everything disclosed to the commission is a potential penalty alongside a suspension, yes.

UFC often hands out discretionary bonuses, which I think basically boils down to Dana walking around backstage handing out cheques. Those wouldn't be included.

In Brock's case, his 'purse' for the fight was $2.5m, which is liable for forteiture. Not sure what his PPV revenue slice would be classed as.

His PPV fee is not part of his official fight purse as it is not a definitive outcome of the fight.  As in there is no reliable measure that is disclosed to the commission.

The UFC women’s bantamweight division is practically deader than disco at this point. In the space of a few weeks, they’ve taken all of the lustre of off; Rousey vs. Holm II, Rousey vs. Tate III and Tate vs. Holm II. You can still do those fights but they don’t mean nearly as much now. And Rousey’s return, if it happens, is still going to be big, but it would have been so much bigger against either Holm or Tate, with one of them holding the title. It’s as if the UFC decided they literally wanted to throw money away.
