I wanted to see Shamrock do something...but it was clear by his entrance to the octagon, his body language and his physique(very un impressive) that he just wanted this fight to make some more money, be able to retire on a big stage and to finish his fued with Tito on national TV.

Well, considering its pronounced 'Hoyce', I don't think its that bad a mistake unless you want to nitpick. Type 'Joyce Gracie' into Google and see what happens...

4. The UFC has a number of expenses for each event. This includes the medical insurance for every fighter, travel expenses for the fighters, drug testing, and the big one advertising the PPV on tv, radio, in print, etc. Advertising is expensive.


Interesting.....I had no idea they tested in the UFC. I wonder what they're testing for? This was one of the reasons I thought it was a little bush leagueish, more suited for WWE types.

They certainly gain a lot more credibility in my eyes if they're testing for performance enhancers.

It's random testing for the most part... They always test the championship fights, and will usually randomly select 2 other fighters from the card to test...

I'd imagine they'd have to test, otherwise things could get out of hand really quickly. They test boxers don't they? Pretty much the same type of sport.

Stephan Bonnar is under suspension, I think, for steroids, but I think that was tested by the Nevada athletic commission.
Pride is also going to do testing.

Wow, let it go. I don't see you getting your neck out of joint over the other misspelled names. I highly doubt you had a problem figuring it out... frig, maybe it was just an honest mistake since I seen Gracie accidentally spelled "Grayce" in the very same post that you're so unwilling to let go. It happens and since I did it, chances are it will happen again. To be honest I was more worried about getting my numbers right then paying attention to names because some people can be an ass about such things.

But since this is the second time I had to respond to you about my typo…just for you I apologize from the bottom of my heart, I hope you weren't put out too hard by my misspelling of Royce…

They wouldn't be sanctioned by any Athletic commisions if they didn't test. THey test for everything I'd imagine...Stephen Bonner tested positive for a horse steriod recently. He is currently under suspension but I beleive he has an appeal. They take it pretty seriously.
