Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu: sometimes passing just isn't an option.
One important bit of historical context here is that Lorenzo Ferttita himself was a former NSAC commissioner and when the UFC started to push earnesty for regulation of the sport across the United States and around the world, they hired former NSAC chairman Marc Ratner to oversee their regulatory affairs.

Also, an interesting tidbit - after Armando Garcia was ousted from the CSAC over a sexual harassment scandal, he got a job with Station Casinos.

Probably both and it would have ruled, you can never have too much biggie

One of the most delightful things in MMA was when Overeem fought Willie Dee's lover and they both entered to Black Eyed Peas, and Thompson was dancing in the cage during Overeem's walkout.

GSP was always compared to Anderson as the GOAT of the time. He may have not finished that many guys as champion, but he was so good that it was amazing watching him dismantle dudes he always hyped up as "his most dangerous opponent".

If I remember correctly, didn't he also have panic attacks before fights, like crying and having this mentality that he was going to lose, only to go out there and beat fools who stood no chance?

Even if this is not true I believe this because it totally sounded liked GSP wanted to quit the Alves fight after tearing his groin and Greg Jackson was like "HIT HIM WITH YOUR GROIN" and after the fight he mentioned it to everybody in the ring
