Jon Jones & Brock Lesnar Could Potentially Face Shorter Suspensions

The post Jon Jones & Brock Lesnar Could Potentially Face Shorter Suspensions appeared first on LowKick MMA.

Former UFC light heavyweight champion Jon “Bones” Jones and former UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar were both notified by USADA (United States Anti-Doping Agency) of potential anti-doping violations regarding tests surrounding July 9’s blockbuster UFC 200 card. Jones was pulled from his scheduled main event bout just days prior while Lesnar was notified of his potential mishap after his co-main event victory over Mark Hunt. Ironically, both men have apparently tested positive for anti-estrogen blockers, but they both also may luck out in a way.

Typically, a fighter who tests positive for the first time faces a minimum two-year suspension, but “Bones” and “The Beast” will both be facing one-year suspensions at most. This is because the substances the duo popped for are considered by the WADA (World Anti-Doping Agency) to be ‘specified substances’ according to a report from MMAFighting.com. Basically that means that “there is a greater likelihood that these (specified) substances could be susceptible to a credible non-doping explanation” as stated in the code. It has also been made clear that if a fighter is caught with a ‘specified substance’ in his system, he could face a punishment as a small as a public warning. That said fighter could also take the case to arbitration if he chooses not to accept the punishment.

Both Jones and Lesnar are also facing potential suspensions and fines from the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC). Neither USADA nor the commission has yet to hand out a punishment, but both men are expected to appear before the NSAC later this year.

Jones last competed at April’s UFC 197 where he scored a decision victory over Ovince Saint Preux to become the interim UFC 205-pound champion after being stripped of his long-held title in 2015 due to legal issues. Prior to fighting Hunt, Lesnar had spent nearly five years away from the sport after dealing with a brutal battle with diverticulitis.

Brock Lesnar Receives Temporary Suspension From NSAC

The post Brock Lesnar Receives Temporary Suspension From NSAC appeared first on LowKick MMA.

After nearly five years away from the sport, former UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar made his triumphant return to fighting in the co-main event of UFC 200 (July 9, 2016) in Las Vegas, scoring a dominant decision victory over legendary slugger Mark Hunt. Lesnar looked better than ever in his return, although it may have been too good to be true, as “The Beast” was notified by USADA (United States Anti-Doping Agency) of a potential anti-doping violation shortly after the fight.

Little details regarding the situation have been released since, although it has been made clear that Lesnar tested positive on two different occasions for what is thought to be an anti-estrogen agent. Today (August 23, 2016), however, Lesnar was given a temporary suspension by the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) which serves as the first step in his adjudication process according to MMAFighting.com. The former champion will likely take part in a formal hearing in front of the commission at a later date.

“The Beast”, although recently leaving the door open for a potential Octagon return, is potentially facing a two-year suspension from both USADA and the NSAC, as well as possible fines from the commission. Lesnar, who owns a 6-3 professional mixed martial arts record, would likely end his fighting career if he receives a two-year suspension given the fact that he is currently 39 years of age.

Brock Lesnar Leaves Door Open For UFC Return

The post Brock Lesnar Leaves Door Open For UFC Return appeared first on LowKick MMA.

Former UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar made his return to action after nearly five years away from the sport in the co-main event of July 9, 2016’s blockbuster UFC 200 from Las Vegas, Nevada, taking on top 10-ranked slugger Mark Hunt. Many had felt as if this was a dangerous challenge for Lesnar, but “The Beast” prevailed and took home a dominant decision victory. That victory was quickly plagued, however, as Lesnar was notified by USADA (United States Anti-Doping Agency) of a potential anti-doping violation.

Few details have been released regarding the test since, but Lesnar could be thrown back to the sidelines for two years if the situation doesn’t play out in his favor. With that being said, the former titleholder has decided to put his focus back on his professional wrestling career for the time being, although he did leave the door open for a potential return to the Octagon (Via TMZ):

“I’ve got a few challenges to overcome before I can get there. I don’t know. For right now, I’m gonna focus on my WWE career. I wanted to step back into the Octagon and avenge my loss against diverticulitis. Sunday (August 21, 2016) I’m facing Randy Orton at Summerslam and that’s really all that’s on my mind. To my fans that watch me in the Octagon, I thank them for their support. This has been a bumpy road. I’m gonna get through this alright. And there will be a day, maybe, that they’ll see me back in the Octagon.”

Lesnar holds a 6-3 professional MMA record which includes victories over Randy Couture, Shane Carwin, Frank Mir, and Hunt. Would you like to see the ex-heavyweight king once again return to the world’s largest mixed martial arts promotion?

Brock Lesnar’s NSAC Hearing Set For August 23

Former UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar made his triumphant return to fighting last month at July 9’s UFC 200 from Las Vegas, Nevada. After nearly five years away from the sport, Lesnar came in and essentially dominated a top 10 heavyweight in Mark Hunt, although the victory has since been plagued after Lesnar was notified

Little has been made clear regarding the details of the situation, but according to a report from MMAJunkie, “The Beast” is set to go before the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) on August 23, 2016 in Las Vegas where a temporary suspension request will be heard.

Lesnar wasn’t the only big name to be notified of a potential anti-doping violation regarding UFC 200, as former light heavyweight champion and former pound-for-pound king Jon “Bones” Jones was also popped by USADA. Jones, unlike Lesnar, was unable to compete at the landmark event, as he was pulled from his scheduled main event rematch with reigning 205-pound titleholder Daniel Cormier just days before the fight was slated to take place. It appears as if Jones’ case has been delayed. Both Lesnar and Jones tested positive for estrogen blockers.

Do you see either man receiving a significant punishment?

Conor McGregor Blasts Pro Wrestlers: WWE Guys Are P*ssies

Despite his global star power, reigning UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor has always said that he’s fully focused on the fight game rather than show business which is why it wasn’t surprising to see him shoot down the idea of performing in the WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment) during a conference call yesterday (August 6, 2016)

Not only did the “Notorious” one shoot down the idea, but he also blasted professional wrestlers, labeling them as ‘p*ussies’. This included former UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar who recently made his return to MMA at UFC 200 only to test positive for a banned substance, something McGregor just can’t respect:

“For the most part, those WWE guys are p*ssies, to be honest,” McGregor said. “They’re messed up p*ssies, if you ask me. Fair play to Brock [Lesnar], he got in and fought, but at the end of the day he was juiced up to the f*cking eye balls, so how can I respect that? And then what’s the other guy? The other guy hasn’t fought yet, so I don’t know about him yet.”

As far as ‘the other guy’ goes, McGregor is referring to Philip ‘CM Punk” Brooks, who will make his mixed martial arts debut at UFC 203 on September 10 in Cleveland. Continuing on, the “Notorious” did show some respect for some of the WWE’s biggest names, although overall he once again considered pro wrestlers ‘p*ussies’:

“There’s some dons in that wrestling game,” McGregor said. “The McMahons, they’re dons. Triple H is a don. The Rock is a don. But the rest of them are p*ssies.”

At the end of the day, McGregor reiterated the idea that he’s focused on fighting, with no time for show business:

“I haven’t really thought of that to be honest,” he said. “Again, that’s a little more show business. This is the fight business.”

Do you see McGregor getting his revenge on Diaz in just a few short weeks?
