I missed the first round - did Joe get rocked in typical fashion or did he manage to win without coming back from behind?

Round 1 was closer than the rest of the fight but he still probably won it.

Chael is on MMA hour and it came up that a stipulation in his Bellator contract says if he fails a drug test he is fined $500,000 & entire fight purse, independent of athletic commission fines. Chael would be on the road to losing a poo poo load of money if Bellator ran shows outside of the eagle bear pueblo casino or wherever

Reminder that he lies about everything anyway so chances of that clause being in his contract are not great unless you hear Coker say it or something

Regardless of what sonnen decides to take, outright barring random testing, running on indian casinos and booking fighters for fights while under suspension is a greenlight for bellator to be the steroid league. There is no way for the other fighters under contract to interpret coker's actions in any other light.

It'll be interesting to see what venue they pick for him to fight in. Just doing quick searches, I can only find four state commissions (and one tribal commission) that have busted Bellator fighters:

California - Mike Richman and Fernando (Bellator 137), Alexander Shlemenko(Bellator 133), Rob Emerson, Keith Berry, Nick Moghaddam, and Fernando Gonzalez (Bellator 127)
Kansas - Melvin Guillard (Bellator 159)
Texas - Kimbo and Ken Shamrock (Bellator 149), Joe Warren (Bellator 143)
Pennsylvania - Doug Marshall (Bellator 109)

One Tribal commission:
Mohegan Tribe Department of Athletic Regulations in Connecticut - Emanuel Newton (Bellator 134)

Anyone think of anywhere else?

Chael's suspension ended in July. Or is there someone else who was booked while suspended?

It is, but I really did not like the ref stopping the fight at that moment in a championship bout. He could have let it go a bit longer. It looked like the champ was going to get a finish, and now there's going to be questions surrounding the bout. If they get into a clinch or a natural stall, then maybe call in the doctor, but they were moving and banging when he stopped it.

The fight shouldn't be interrupted when someone is flurrying for a finish. If Round 5 of McDonald/Lawler 2 can happen that should have kept going.

Yeah, I would have liked to have seen the fight go on.

I'm not a medical professional so I don't know if letting that cut get hit again was a risk they couldn't take or not, but it sure looked nasty once they cleaned it up.

Poor Roxy. She was able to convince a judge she was champ, but so it goes. I wouldn't be surprised if she retires now. What a crazy career up to this point anyway.
