Former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) middleweight champion, Anderson Silva, will be eligible to make his return to mixed martial arts (MMA) this November after reaching a deal with United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA).

“The Spider” was popped for performance-enhancing drugs ahead of his Kelvin Gastelum fight at UFC Shanghai last fall, the second timethe Brazilian pissed dirty in his UFC career. Silva, however, maintained his innocence and eventually proved his positive result stemmed from tainted supplements, hence the reduced sentence.

“I am vindicated,” Silva said in a prepared statement (via Ariel Helwani). “The past nine months have been extremely difficult. I felt like my career and everything I had worked so hard for was dying and my future was hanging in the balance.”

This is exactly the horseshit Barnett was talking about last week.

"Okay, so we found out you didn't cheat. So we're just going to give you a suspension anyways."

I think it was Wand that ko'd Mr. Rua
that is what I thought also... ECC170 @ECC170 told me Rua won the puppy

So now I am saying that so I don't get corrected/smashed by him

either way, the winner doesn't make the story. The savages fighting fighting over the puppy is the whole story

LOL

He failed the test though yes? I think he's getting a break here.

He is never going matrix again, that ship has sailed. If we are lucky we will get a few more fights, fun fights, out of him.
