I actually thought the same thing, but apparently he got 3.5 years, so he was out at the beginning of 2015. He's still on probation, though.

I watched it and recall enjoying it at the time but couldn't remember anything specific about it. You're probably right

also fights have gotten way better just with morning weigh ins. If they could somehow ban weight cutting completely I'd be a happy man.

Seeing him in person I would say he had to be weighing in around 190-195.

Bendo competed at 77kg at the 2015 ADCC, which was same-day weigh ins, so I don't think he's as huge as people make him out to be.

it didn't really stand out in any way, it was just one of those really close fought, tactically interesting and skilled fights between two guys with very high output. ie the kind of fights that seem to happen very rarely in mma.

Unless this fight is against the champion, pretty much anyone can say that you shouldn't be the champion. Which I'm sure will not prevent you from whining about it.

is that really why he wasn't being tested? i thought he was pretending he wasn't going to fight again and not signing the paperwork while he made sure everything was out of his system

A Toyota technical tails Tim Kennedy home on a warm autumn night. Tim parks his car and gets out, M4A1 in hand. He demands the driver of the technical show themselves.

Yoel Romero steps out of the Toyota, stool in hand. He places the stool in front of the Toyota and sits.

He refuses to stand.

Tim screams into the night sky.
