Why is Brock getting catered to after failing a test?

The UFC always bring Brock back when they need to make MMA great again.

Because they have to him. Because he's the hero the UFC needs, but not the one it needs deserves now, so they will do whatever it takes to hire him. Because he can bring in the PPV buys, because he's not a savior. He's a WWE superstar, a watchful protector, a White Knight.

Cuz the UFC is a fucking joke and a bush league.

1. They didn't hide anything.
2. he paid his fine and is serving his time.
3. Jones "didn't have to" either, but he chose to. And it was bad. He should've kept quiet like Brock did!
4. He was booked for a title match, but DC was injured so Jones had to fight OSP or wait, and he didn't want to wait.
5. Vitor Belfort, Dan Henderson, Shogun Rua, and Lyoto Machida have all failed drug tests and have been subsequently favored.

Lastly, it's because of money - Brock draws. Oh, and I don't think he will fight DC - I think they will book it for attention to sell, then Brock will pop and DC fights Stipe in a rematch instead, or taking on JDS - which I think he wins easy in the second.

Woah buddy, when has SHOGUN EVER failed a test?
 
b/c Brock follows different rules than other fighters. Him and Conor are the UFC's 2 biggest draws, so they get privileges most fighters dont get to enjoy

but i thought USADA suspensions only counted while the fighter is in the testing pool? so wouldn't his 1 year suspension (11 months and change, actually) start last week?

Pursuant to the UFC Anti-Doping Policy, all UFC athletes serving a period of ineligibility for an anti-doping policy violation are required to remain in the USADA registered testing pool and make themselves available for testing in order to receive credit for time served under his or her sanction. Furthermore, if an athlete retires during his or her period of ineligibility, the athlete's sanction will be tolled until such time the athlete notifies USADA of his or her return from retirement and once again makes him or herself available for no-advance-notice, out-of-competition testing.

so the fight is next summer?

Rules... <DisgustingHHH>
 
There's one reason and one reason only, and we all know what that reason is, so why are you asking it?
 
Rousey's gone, Conor hasn't fought for a while, Jones may be banned for years if not life, GSP has had one fight in years with no immediate plans for another, Nate Diaz hasn't fought since the rematch with Conor, Nick Diaz hasn't fought in years and has legal troubles, Anderson has been suspended and is on a downturn, CM Punk turned out to be a bust, etc.
Brock is the biggest star they have available, he has crossover appeal, and can hype a fight.
 
A question we may never know the answer to. Equal to "what is the meaning of life"
 
they couldn't afford to pay Floyd, so Brock was the next best option...

They literally hid the test from people and he failed and had to pay a fine but he didnt even have to make a public appearance or address or talkabout his test faliure..best yet he gets an immediate title shot..wtf

Jones on the other hand had to make a press conference, he had to fight OSP before a title shot and constantly gets bashed for it..

so before you completely make stuff up, always consider maybe there is someone who actually has the numbers.. ;)

It wouldn't be SD if that occurred

j/k many informative posters add to conversation here. Just some refuse to learn
 
How do you not know by now that UFC is a circus?
