He's obviously innocent.
Yeah, they should change the result. The guy should at least admit his mistake, apologize, and face the consequences of his actions.
I care in one way, and I'm all for suspensions etc, but I'll be a Royce fan for the rest of my life regardless.
Unreal.
well this changes my opinion of the man...
LOL @ any idiot thinking Royce's being "juiced to the gills" on Deca (LOL!!) had any affect on the outcome of this fight.....because Deca is such a performance enhancing steroid and Saku never beat up a fighter on juice before. Royce just mauled him w/ his incredible Deca strength.
It also had ZERo to do w/ the fact that sakuraba shut down for the last 1/2 of the fight and did NOTHING except hold on for dear life....Nah, nothing at all. Sak was CLEARLy overwhelmed w/ Royce's newfound superhuman Deca strength.
SKARHEAD, so if this is all true then why juice??
skarhead that was an elegant testament to the honor of cheating
wow....
seriously, he was the last guy I thought would flunk a piss test.
the big deal is he loses his dignity
Cue EVILYOSHIDA in 5,4,3,2...
What a shame.
I wonder what Rorion and Helio have to say.
Since Royce is fighting for K-1 he can just fight in Japan and it shouldn't effect him.
LOL @ skarhead. your boy made a mistake and isn't man enough to confess to his actions. It's actually an insult to his true fans.
I called it from the beginning. Not only did he engage in illegal steroid usage making our sport look bad, he has refused to admit to his mistakes. 2nd as one of the most high profile guys in the sport, his positive test reflect NEGATIVELY on the whole sport in general.
I just want to laugh at all of you who said he was innocent and flaming me for condemning steroid usage. I don't hate royce i've said many times he is one of 2 legends in MMA.
However now I doubt his whole legacy even from UFC1, Maybe he was doing them from the start.
I think it's safe to say that there is only one defacto legend of MMA right now. the one and only kazushi Sakuraba.
Royce cheated. He kicked Yoshida in the balls repeatedly and accused Yoshida of lying when Yoshida had a legit sub.
