Ariel just tweeted that Vitor is no longer going to appear on his show because his reps called up and asked an hour before the show for him not to ask certain questions. Ariel said he can't do it so Vitor pulled out.

He won't talk about the questions on twitter and said he'll explain on his show. I'm not going to listen, but if someone can I'd appreciate it.

Must be a new rep, the old one knew none of Vitor's answers are coherent enough to be understood, much less get him in trouble.

True story one time Vitor ducked a Sherdog Radio interview and someone in his management got Ed Soares to impersonate Vitor for the whole thing.

the questions probably relate to Josh Gross' article and it's probably his wife again just like when he did a rambling interview about how he decided he was a wine maker and training was smashing grapes to make bordeaux, which is Vitor Belfort wine because it's old and expensive http://www.mmafighting.com/2014/5/14/5714656/vitor-belfort-doesnt-think-surprise-drug-test-will-stop-him-from

Is tonight the greatest moment in Dominick Cruz's life?

No.

The greatest moment in my life was realizing that I didn't need a belt to be happy.
I mean I guess I could understand Vitor not wanting to talk about the UFC 152 stuff, but that was years ago so who gives a poo poo, and at what point does Vitor or any of his reps believe that people aren't aware that he's a cheat.. or.

Vitor Belfort has already been tested 3 times randomly by USADA before the Hendo fight (one way out of competition and two recently). So like, why would Vitor even get a poo poo about drug testing stuff anymore? He could just say he's doing the testing now and everything else was the past.

I hope Dan Henderson punches him. for real this time

Vitor gets bent way out of shape when people point out that he's a cheater, like when he asked the crowd to beat up a journalist at a press conference or whatever that was. He will always give a poo poo because he lives in an alternate reality of his own creation

Yeah I mean like Nick Diaz is retarded and lives in his own reality but he seems to have some conception of what's going on around him. Vitor just kinda gets shot up with steroids, wheeled out in front of an audience, beats the poo poo out of people and then rambles about non-sequiters.

I'll give him a bit of slack on the insanity because of what happened to his sister, but the dude's not all there.

Vitor denied he was cheating and denied that he received any benefits from said cheating, our society accepts mea culpas quite readily, and Vitor never came close to making one, case solved.

Dan was like I do TRT to keep up with the young guns, but not too much cause then I'm actually worse at fighting.

Vitor was like IT IS NONE OF ANYONE'S BUSINESS WHAT THE DOCTORS TELL ME TO PUT IN MY BODY WHICH IS ALLOWED WHICH MEANS NOBODY SHOULD BE ABLE TO KNOW IF I AM EVEN TAKING THESE MEDICINES OR NOT BUT IF I WAS IT WOULD BE NONE OF ANYONE'S BUSINESS AS ITS A PRIVATE MEDICAL MATTER AND HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH MY PERFORMANCES

New Jersey is going to experiment with a new judging protocol for a local MMA promotion this weekend.

The fights will be judged as normal with 3 judges around the cage, but they are also going to put 3 judges in a soundproof room in the back of the arena, watching the fights on a muted TV and compare how they score to the cageside judges. No crowd noise, no commentary, and superior viewing angles on TV vs obstructed views cageside may produce more accurate scores..

Dan also still looked and fought like Post-Peak Dan Henderson while on TRT, as opposed to SSJ3 Vitor throwing insane spin kicks and almost snapping JBJ's arm like a twig. Then after TRT, Hendo looks pretty much the same while Vitor is very much not the same. The amount of testosterone being used was clearly orders of magnitude different.

That's pretty interesting. The muted TV thing should ideally just be a commentaryless feed with the ring microphones so they can still hear the fight though. Might be a bit hard for a small league to do though.

I imagine they wouldn't get too much crowd noise too from ring mics only.

Anything to improve MMA judging is good though.

MMA judging hasn't seemed that bad this year to me. couple of weird scorecards but nothing that caused any major controversy. Dariush vs Johnson might be the only one and even then the argument was there for Dariush to get the nod.
