No mention of this fight at all by the UFC...shame
"In my opinion if the UFC introduce a 125lb division, maybe we will get to see Tara LaRosa vs Miesha Tate"
Back in the day Tara was the best in the world at 125 and would have been a heavy favorite over Tate. But she's 38 with a few recent loses and I don't think she would get a fight with Tate today.

The United States Anti-Doping Agency announced this Wednesday, March 26, 2014, that the 2013 Worlds female open class and heavyweight silver medalist, Gabrielle Garcia tested positive for the prohibited substance Clomiphene.

USADA announced today that Gabrielle Lemos Garcia of São Paulo, Brazil, an athlete in the sport of Brazilian jiu-jitsu, has tested positive for a prohibited substance, which was determined to have been ingested by her without fault or negligence, and will lose competitive results.
Garcia, 28, tested positive for Clomiphene as the result of an in-competition urine sample she provided on June 2, 2013 at the International Brazillian Jiu- Jitsu Federation (IBJJF) World Jiu-Jitsu Championships in Long Beach, Calif.

The IBJJF or Gabi Garcia still haven’t commented on the announcement by the USADA.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Athlete, Garcia, Accepts Finding Of No Fault And Loss Of Results
March 26, 2014
USADA announced today that Gabrielle Lemos Garcia of São Paulo, Brazil, an athlete in the sport of Brazilian jiu-jitsu, has tested positive for a prohibited substance, which was determined to have been ingested by her without fault or negligence, and will lose competitive results.
Garcia, 28, tested positive for Clomiphene as the result of an in-competition urine sample she provided on June 2, 2013 at the International Brazillian Jiu- Jitsu Federation (IBJJF) World Jiu-Jitsu Championships in Long Beach, Calif. USADA was contracted by IBJJF to conduct testing for the event and collected Garcia’s sample in accordance with the World Anti-Doping Agency International Standard for Testing.
Clomiphene is a prohibited substance in the category of “Hormone and Metabolic Modulators” under the USADA Protocol for Olympic and Paralympic Movement Testing, which has adopted the World Anti-Doping Code (the “Code”) and the World Anti-Doping Agency Prohibited List. Clomiphene is classified as a Specified Substance, and therefore the presence of Clomiphene in an athlete’s sample can result in a reduced sanction.
After a thorough review of the case, USADA was able to conclude, to a comfortable satisfaction, that Garcia had not acted negligently and was not at fault for the positive test. Although Garcia was not found to be at fault or to have acted negligently, in accordance with the Code, a violation of the anti-doping rules in connection with an In-Competition test automatically leads to the disqualification of all results obtained in that competition. While her results from the IBJJF World Jiu-Jitsu Championships shall be disqualified, Garcia did not receive a period of ineligibility and, in accordance with the Code, remains eligible to compete.
In an effort to aid athletes, as well as all support team members such as parents and coaches, in understanding the rules applicable to them, USADA provides comprehensive instruction on its website on the testing process and prohibited substances, how to obtain permission to use a necessary medication, and the risks and dangers of taking supplements as well as performance-enhancing and recreational drugs. In addition, the agency manages a drug reference hotline, Drug Reference Online (www.GlobalDRO.com), conducts educational sessions with National Governing Bodies and their athletes, and proactively distributes a multitude of educational materials, such as the Prohibited List, easy-reference wallet cards, periodic newsletters, and protocol and policy reference documentation.

However she was found innocent and eligible to compete again at IBJFF
Spin it anyway you want, Gabi is a proven PED user.
Richard Tuck
In your opinion how is Gabi a proven PED user when she was exhornerated by USADA?
She is a proven PED user because she took a PED and it was proven just because she didn't act negligently doesn't mean she didn't take the substance.

You Sir should also consider reading what you quoted

That has nothing to do with whether she took a PED or not.
She did fail a PED test
She was not proven innocent
She was found not to be at fault or to have acted negligently
Perhaps you would also like to argue OJ Simpsons innocence
Richard Tuck
According to the USADA that tested her, Gabi was exhornerated. Yes in my opinion Gabi is responsible for what she puts in her body but it appeared to not be intentional. There is no other evidence to prove otherwise.
OJ was found to be not guilty in a court of law. Gabi was found to be not guilty in the court of USADA What is there to discuss?
Congrats to Paige
UFC strawweight Paige VanZant will go from the dance floor to the movie screen for a new role she's just landed in "Kickboxer: Retaliation."The news was first reported by Deadline.
According to the casting news, VanZant actually had a part written specifically for her after the producers saw her on the latest season of "Dancing with the Stars."
VanZant is currently in the finals of the dance competition, with the last episode scheduled to air Monday night on ABC.
VanZant will play Gamon in "Kickboxer: Retaliation" -- "a 26-year old with high level fighting and shooting skills and has some strong criminal connections."
Paige is the up-and-coming darling of the UFC, and her star quality shines through on camera," producer Rob Hickman said Monday. "She's a tremendous asset to the film both as an on-screen talent and as a trainer fighter."
"Kickboxer: Retaliation" is set up as a sequel to "Kickboxer: Vengeance," which comes out this fall and served as a reboot to the martial arts franchise first launched in 1989 starring Jean Claude Van Damme.
VanZant is the latest MMA fighter to join the franchise following appearances from Georges St-Pierre and Gina Carano in "Kickboxer: Vengeance."
The cast also stars Alain Moussi and "Game of Thrones" star Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson, who is best known for his portrayal of Ser Gregor Clegane, aka "The Mountain," on the popular HBO series.

^^ yay for Page!
I know some are already talking about her leaving MMA but unlike Rousey who has an Im champion or Im out kinda mentality, Paige knows her odds or becoming champion are small even if she does MMA full time, so she will likely just continue fighting whenever there's an opening on her schedule.
Koga -You must be devastated:Ray Elbe - Cris posted a pic of her real weight at the start of fight week...since there were so many people asking, I'm kinda surprised the news didn't make it to the ugWas she holding water bottles?
1) Cyborg fought in the UFC
2) She fought in the main card
3) She proved to be a star in her home country
4) She EASILY destroyed a "UFC caliber" fighter (a "huge step up in competition", according to you), much EASIER than the "cans" she fights in Invicta (Daria Ibragimova and Fiona Muxlow lasted over three times more than Leslie).
5) She was weighing 152 lbs. in fight week, which dispells your nonsensical and stupid mantra that she got a 30 lbs. advantage over her opponents.
6) Ronda was knocked the fuck out and looked stupid in front of millions vs Holly Holm.
7) Ronda might as well be retired.
On the bright side, Ronda having ducked Cris so many years gave her time to shine and kept her teeth intact. Be sure that, if they were to fight, Cyborg would punish her MUCH worse than Holly did.
Sweet dreams!

Unfortunately I have come to a decision that I am not going to be part of the Glory tournament. I was asked to fight on Glory 25th June to which I said Yes. I then later find out via social media that it was a tournament which is above my fight weight class. This was bad communication, I was never told it was at 55.5 or more than one bout. I can not commit to this as I have other commitments to fulfil. I would and am willing to fight Tiffany (as I know many want to see this fight) after the tournament if they want in a one off
Fight, but without signing a long confusing contract. I wish everyone in it the best of luck and I hope it's a great success for Glory. It's an amazing opportunity but for me just came across at the wrong time.
I hope you all understand.Thanks X
