Paid Members lambyUK Posted June 15, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted June 15, 2017 Considering both fighters have been randomly drug tested, I think there's a strong chance neither will have a choice whether they turn up or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You make it sound like they're obligated to fight no matter what. All Silva has to do is point out an injury, one he probably genuinely has, to be fair, and he doesn't have to fight at all. Which is what I expect to happen. I'll believe this fight is going ahead when they're actually in the cage and the bell goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both fighters (as mentioned on the recent media call) have submitted random drug tests. Given both their history, they more than likely will both fail it, and have their NYSAC license revoked. Perhaps you missed that point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You then responded with a statement about drug testing that implied they have no choice over whether they show up or not. I countered that argument with a way Silva could get out of the fight if he wanted to. That is what I am talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your post still implies they have no choice but to show up and fight. Which was the original question that was asked. Not about whether they will turn up for drug testing. Perhaps that is a point you missed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see why you could possibly think that, as it can read both ways mind. My point is that irrespective of whether Silva no shows or not, it's more than likely going to be a moot point because he's more than likely failing the random drug test he's already submitted, and having that choice of no showing taken out of his hands.

You're point is correct, but that depends on when exactly this random tested started and just how random it really was. Not only that, if Silva started flushing his system far back enough, then he could still past even the most random of tests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted June 15, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted June 15, 2017 why do you think Silva would have no intention of fighting Noah? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Wand, watching it at the moment and I'm quite surprised to see some strikeforce footage in there. With the UFC owning their library, I wonder how they managed to sneak that in there?

He's done a lot of talk the last few years, and no fighting. Just look at TUF Brazil. The guy's an embarrassment. Running away from testers, saying UFC fixes fights.

He's done a lot of talk the last few years, and no fighting. To be fair though, he wasn't eligible to fight the last few years because he's been suspended since 2014. He has been embarrassing. Even I'll admit that. Even as big a Wanderlei Silva fan as I am, I even had to unfollow him on twitter because of his incessant, nonsensical ramblings. I still love the Botox looking nutter though. Chael has been almost has embarrassing as Wand was, to be honest. Everything he's done since he parted ways with the UFC has been a complete cringefest. Call me mad but I actually think this fight is going to happen this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's spent the last few years being a complete and total flake. If Silva ever fights again, it'll be in Japan so he can jack himself up full of drugs, and it'll probably be against a complete tomato can.
