I know theyre gonna get that reduced but still, where do they get 180 days from?? just cuz it was the main event?

Most people think of methadone when they think of drug addicts but its not always use as an illicit drug alternative, its also used as a painkiller. Well, Methadone is also used as a painkiller.

Fedor was suspended for a hand injury and Tim for a shoulder injury. Both fighters can fight again earlier if they are cleared by a doctor first. This type of suspension isn't that unusual and it won't really be a bit deal for both guys to get cleared by a doctor to fight on the next Affliction card.

People are saying its because UFC has influence with the csac or some kind of inside man. I know it sounds like some crazy conspiracy (which it probably is) but they definately have a motive for a move like that, we already saw them try and torpedo the first Affliction card. Now that Affliction planned to put on another big show in Vegas, the timing seems very suspicious to me..
