Remember Johnny Morton’s tough knockout in his MMA debut at the K-1 show? You probably also remember the fact that he refused to take a post fight drug test. Well, we now know why.
In order to receive a license to fight, Morton, 35, was required to undergo a pre-fight urinalysis. According to Garcia, Sample A came back as positive for a “very elevated T/E ratio, which is testosterone. And that is 83.9 — the normal industry standard for an athlete is 6.”
Garcia said Sample B confirmed the results, and “that is consistent with anabolic steroid use.”
Morton faces the revocation of his license as well as a maximum $2,500 fine. Disciplinary action is on hold until the CSAC receives the results for Morton’s drugs of abuse tests. Garcia said Morton was notified via letter several days after the fight, and that he has 10 days to respond if he wishes to receive a hearing in front of the commission. As of Wednesday afternoon, Morton had not responded.

manny vs. joe will happen tonight.
i like all four fighters and it doesnt really matter to me who ends up in the final but i’m thinking it will be joe vs. nate with joe comming out on top.
YEA RJ I AGREE
i really wanted to see manny in the final but i dont think he can beat joe the kid is an animal but then again so is manny. i think that is going to be a really good fight. i think nate and gray will go the full time and maybe even a third round i can see a lot of ground work going on.
