Shizzmoney: either that, or he owes someone money
Do you know something I dont? Pettis has always been one of the more stable, down to earth fighters. Its hard to imagine him in debt to anyone, least of all considering his income.

I know he owns a restaurant in the Milwaukee area, so there could be some bunk finances because of that. But it could be just due to his father and Milwaukee fail, a city which deals with high crime due to segregation and economic inequality. Maybe his dad owed people money?
On November 12, 2003, Pettis' father was stabbed to death by a "robber" at a friend's house. I don't know if there was any residuals from that, as his dad was known to hang with shady characters:
http://mmajunkie.com/2009/05/fight-p...-tragic-death/Anthony Pettis and his older brother answered the knocks at their family’s front door late on Nov. 12, 2003.
“We thought it might be dad,” Pettis told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com). “He would come and go at weird hours.”
Instead, there stood two Milwaukee Police Department detectives. Not knowing if their father was in trouble — his past in and out of drug use had gained him a sometimes-difficult group of friends — the 15-year-old Pettis and his brother were vague with answers, especially when the detectives said they were investigating a homicide.
Who was he hanging out with? They said they didn’t know.
Where had he been? They said they didn’t know.
“We didn’t want to give them any information,” Pettis said. “We didn’t know if his friends had done something. So they pull out this picture of him in the back of an ambulance with his eyes wide open. I’ll never forget that image.”

Maybe they posed the same restrictions on advertisers as they did their fighters and only allowed Reebok to have ads on the show.
LOL Charles Oliveira. How does someone at 145 miss the weight by 9 pounds?
From what I got out of his interview the day of the weigh ins, he was coming off an injury, took the short notice fight, and decided to heal up and let the rest of the pieces fall where they may, just take whatever paycheck he can grab and be done with it.
Hall v Gegard, +400. I dont think he wins this time but they found a number I like, so Ill roll the dice a little for the usual reasons. One thing Ive seen in this sport, the people who stick around are the ones who can 'show up' and put in 100% every minute of every round. Win or lose, they tend to do well career wise. Getting KO'd by Brunson isnt anything to be ashamed of but the Whittaker loss was really eye opening. If Mousasi handles him tonight, he will have dropped 4 of his last 6 fights (and 3 in a row), and 4 of his last 5 gigs will be on free events so its not like they have anyplace to demote him to. He can almost certainly hang for a couple of years in Bellator but something about his career is still bittersweet to me.

"1.2. The Applicant contends that he took a product, which he believed to be a pill of "Cialis"; amedicine whose absence from the WADA prohibited list he had previously checked with hisagent, but which unbeknown, indeed unknowable, by him, was contaminated. Therefore he bore,he asserts, at most a light degree of fault in taking it. USADA ("the Respondent") does not acceptthat explanation and in any event asserts that the Applicant's fault was significant.1.3. Cialis is itself not a prohibited substance but a legitimate erectile dysfunction medication; itspurpose is to enhance sexual not sporting performance. It is manufactured by the well-known2pharmacist Eli Lilly and is the brand name of its active agent Tadalafil.1.4. The product that the Applicant claims to have taken was also called Tadalafil and purportedto have the same properties. It was, however, manufactured by the company selling under thename "AllAmericanPeptide.com" ("All American Peptide") to standards far less rigorous thanthose required by the US Food and Drugs Administration ("the FDA")."
---------------------
"On the evidence before the Panel, the Applicant is not a drug cheat. He did not know that the tablet he took contained prohibited substances or that those substances had the capacity to enhance sporting performance. However by his imprudent use of what he pungently referred to as a "dick pill" he has not only lost a year of his career but an estimated nine million dollars. This outcome which he admits to be a wake-up call for him should serve as a warning to all others who participate in the same sport."

tl;dr:
his lawyers found a legal product that would generate the same test failure profile as the PEDs he was abusing so he rolled with it.

Appears Rashad didn't get cleared due to some sort of medical condition. Fucking shame because I was really looking forward to seeing Kennedy against top tier competition.
UFC coming back to Halifax in FEb. Sweet.

So I was leaving work today and I am pretty sure I seen Gastelum walking in the direction of the hotel that all the UFC are staying in. Its 3 blocks away.
Tickets are still 4 figures. Sucks. What are the chances I can get Diaz to donate 2 tickets?
