That's a stupid argument. Ben Johnson got away with it? Lance Armstrong got away with it? The Court of Arbitration for Sport would never hand out 15 months to a repeat offender. FIFA and IOC are far more powerful than the UFC and WME, and the court has repeatedly told them to go f themselves. You don't like it, bitches? Go f yourselves some more then. That's independence.
As if there ever was any doubt that Dana and the UFC are the exact same thing as the Yakuza and Pride. Everything they do is bought and paid for.
