Added Marcus Brimage vs. Russell Doane
Kenny Robertson replaces Santiago Ponzinibbio against Ildemar Alcantara
Chael Sonnen out due to failed drug test
Sonnen out but belfort still in. Lol both are on TRT guess sonnen was high or they never tested belfort.
Clearly they had the wrong names on the test. Surely it was Vitor positive, Chael negative lol. I’m sure it was a clerical error.
I don think Belfort has been granted a licence yet. His test levels may have returned to an acceptable level, he also failed his initial drug test previously in May
Sonnen has released a statement on the failed test… http://www.mmafighting.com/2014/6/10/5797942/chael-sonnen-admits-to-taking-banned-substances-calls-positive-test
Vitor Belfort has been pulled from the card, no suitable opponent available on short notice
