Heavyweight James Thompson Suspended 1 Year for Positive Steroid Test at Bellator 191
Veteran heavyweight James
Thompson has been suspended for one year after testing positive
for the steroid drostanolone at Bellator 191.
Mohegan Tribe Department of Athletic Regulations Executive Director
Mike Mazzulli first confirmed the failed test to
The MMA Report on Friday. In addition to the suspension,
Thompson has been fined $2,000 and must provide a clean drug test
in order to be relicensed.
Thompson failed an in-competition drug test administered by
Mazzulli, who acts in a regulatory capacity for international
Bellator events. Mazzulli, who is also the president of the
Association of Boxing Commissions, revealed that drug tests for
middleweight champ Rafael
Carvalho , Alessio
Sakara and Carlos Mirando at Bellator 190 in Italy the week
prior were all negative.
Thompson was submitted 1:53 into the opening round by Philip De
Fries at Bellator 191, which took place at Metro Radio Arena in
Newcastle, England, on Dec. 15. The card aired via tape delay on
Spike in the United States. The 39-year-old Englishman has lost his

Cristiane ‘Cyborg’ Justino: By The Numbers
Ferocity in mixed martial arts comes in all shapes and sizes, but
few fighters -- if any -- have personified it more thoroughly than
Cristiane
Justino .
“Cyborg” will put her undisputed
Ultimate Fighting Championship women’s featherweight title on
the line against
Jackson-Wink MMA star Holly Holm in
the UFC
219 main event on Saturday at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
Justino has finished her past eight opponents, five of them inside
one round, and only appears to be gaining steam atop a
talent-starved 145-pound weight class. The Brazilian juggernaut
last fought on July 29, when she laid claim to the vacant
featherweight throne and disposed of Tonya
Evinger with third-round knee strikes at UFC 214. “Cyborg” has
compiled a perfect 3-0 record since arriving in the UFC a little
less than two years ago.
As Justino marches toward her title defense against the
upset-minded Holm, here are some of the numbers that have come to
define her:
1: Loss by submission. Justino tapped to a
first-round armbar from Erica Paes in
her promotional debut on May 17, 2005.

Desmond Green to Meet Michel Prazeres at UFC Fight Night 125
Desmond
Green will square off against Michel
Prazeres in a lightweight bout at UFC
Fight Night 125 .
Multiple outlets confirmed the pairing following an initial report
from
MMA Brasil . UFC Fight Night 125 takes place in Belem, Brazil,
on Feb. 3 and is headlined by a middleweight clash between Lyoto
Machida and Eryk

Green had a five-bout winning streak snapped in his most recent
outing, as he suffered a unanimous decision loss to Rustam
Khabilov at UFC Fight Night 115. “The Predator” owns a 20-6
career mark that includes stints in Bellator MMA and Titan FC.
The 36-year-old Prazeres has quietly compiled a five-fight winning
streak in the Octagon. Most recently, “Trator” submitted Mads

second consecutive victory via that maneuver. Prazeres is 23-2 as a
pro and 7-2 in the UFC.

I gotta say the last 2 were threats. Jr just has a bad habit of putting his hands down when on the cage & their first fight was close; Overeem had success too but his chin essentially is the restart button if you look at it for too long. Francis has a lot of unknowns. Great fight
