Here’s a weekly rundown of MMA content from Ben Goldstein of CagePotato.com:
In a week that left every MMA fan with a massive hangover…
– Affliction heavyweight Josh Barnett pissed dirty in a random drug test, and was yanked from next Saturday’s “Trilogy” Card. After a futile search for a replacement opponent, Affliction decided it would be easier for everybody if they just went back to selling t-shirts.
– Lithuanian underdog Marius Zaromskis won DREAM’s welterweight grand prix by knocking out Hayato Sakurai and Jason High on the same night.
– Strikeforce’s formerly-epic “Carano vs. Cyborg” card lost two title fights, one due to an infected hand and the other due to an unfortunate drug reaction.
– Instead of the title shot he was promised, UFC middleweight star Dan Henderson has to fight Rich Franklin again, just eight months after he beat him the first time.
– UFC old-schooler Kimo Leopoldo was discovered not dead of a heart attack. He was, and still is, 41.
– We wondered what the future holds for the UFC’s fallen U.K. poster boy Michael Bisping.
– In a sport full of turmoil and constant surprises, we can always count on Gina Carano to look hot in public.
