He threw away an incredible amount of money. 2 years from now maybe he comes back, but he's just entering into the age that is the peak for most fighters.

The sports business daily journal reported more details on the sale of the UFC. Originally there were 5 bidders: aside from WME-IMG, there was also Fox, ESPN, Time Warner, and the Chinese companies (who later partnered up with WME-IMG)
Time Warner was planning to put the UFC on HBO and Turner Sports, but they dropped out early. ESPN dropped out without submitting a bid when they saw how much the UFC wanted. FOX bid $3.6MM and when their bid was beaten they dropped out. The UFC currently gets $115MM/year from Fox on their TV deal. WME-IMG believes that when the contract is up after 2018 they'll be able to negotiate a 10 year deal for over $400MM/year. Some in the industry are skeptical but if they can get that much then it helps justify the price they paid.

They may also parcel out content like the NFL. Maybe one big contract with most of the cards that a FOX or an ESPN may want to fill out their multiple channels, and a small special package of 4 or 5 cards a year where they put more priority on making good fights and guarantee ratings at or above X to attract a CBS or NBC that can't quite handle the enormous number of events they want to televise, but could be in for a few.

Brock Lesnar's team is blaming the failed test on an asthma inhaler and are saying he tested positive for a chemical found in the inhaler. WADA bans asthma inhalers unless the athlete has a medical need for it. Brock is prescribed by a doctor to use inhalers during the spring and summer months.
It is still his responsibility to apply for a TUE to be approved to use it, but if he popped for something that he could have gotten permission to use, then I guess its not a big deal. Should be easy for USADA to verify.

Brock Lesnar's in-competition sample from the night of the fight came back positive. I assume it'll be the same substance.

I thought they were going to have to bring me oxygen once I climbed to the top of the Oceans Of Fun rides. Tren and no carbs destroyed my endurance. Cough sucked to, had insomina a lot but no aweats.

![]() All 16 fighters for TUF 24 will be flyweight champions for various promotions around the world. I assume the winner will eventually fight Mighty Mouse. edit: lol, how good could the champion of Alaska FC possibly be?
