News Giga Chikadze had a one-year suspension, which he didn't know about at first

Do you think more fighters have been suspended on the background, which didn't make it to the media?

Honestly think too many people have written off Giga from the Kattar fight, he can come back and go on another tear. I didn't know about the broken hand + elbow but to me it looked like an off night. I think if he still has what it takes to get to the top.

He went full hype mode before Kattar saying he was the best striker in the division and he was going to be a future champ.
Similar to that kid Hernandez who got headkicked by old Cowboy.. but a little less disrespectful.

Hopefully he comes back and performs well. He should be a level or two above Caceres.

He was definitely thinking no one could stand with him after beating Barboza, I remember that. He still has some time left to challenge for the title but no more long layoffs, that'll only be detrimental.
 
I foresee a lot of people not watching the video and assuming this is a USADA thing.

Hopefully the time out has allowed Chikadze time to recover and come back strong.

I'm honestly worried for his hairline.

He is a fun guy to watch. If he does not contend for the title at least I would like to see him active.
 
Why’d he get suspended? Why didn’t he know for awhile? C’mon TS, give us the scoop, cliffs, something!…..
 
We know USADA has to announce suspensions at the conclusion of the investigation and a penalty being handed down.

Does the Commission not have to ever announce anything? And is the NSAC doing separate testing than USADA?

MBS says NSAC popped her. She has a hearing in Vegas tomorrow. Giga said “Commision”. That fight was in Vegas. What’s the fucking story here?

Attention @BoxerMaurits

You are all over this shit man. You have clearly got connections, you have the hustle and the passion.

If you do not have a comfy career doing whatever is your kickboxing/mma dream job within 5 years of today... being paid to travel to MMA and kickboxing events and cover these sports you clearly love... I'm gonna find you and flick you in the nuts.

I know what you look like and it would be easy to find you.

Meanwhile you have no idea what I look like and you would have no choice but to live in constant fear of your nuts getting flicked.
It would haunt you and eat you alive.

Sometimes they get suspended and never come back…

Would be like a dream:)
 
Did Kornman not ask him what the suspension was for?

That's like the first most obvious question that comes to mind, journalists gotta ask those hard-hitting questions.

Sounds like bro was hella injured coming out of the Kattar fight so it could be a medical suspension but if it was for PEDs or something that would be big news.
 
Seems like forever that the shoops were made.

Kinda sucks when a dude loses so much time in his prime due to injury. He seemed like an interesting contender prior to the Kattar beating. I’m interested to see how he looks

What if they have all the evidence but never conclude anything, but just advises UFC about certain findings and it's best for some athletes to just sit for a while :|

What about all the other bad performances he had? Jammall Emmers and Brandon Davis split decisions. He also got his hype by knocking out chinny old dudes in Cub and Barboza. I wanted the Giga hype to be real but...ehhhhh. Kattar vs Giga was competitive but Kattar beat him at his own game, had the better cardio and I know Kattar has the better grappling and defensive wrestling if needed.

That said, I wouldn't mind Giga vs Allen.

That’s pretty messed up if that’s what is happening.

That doesn’t address the other half of my post. Being both fighters said it was the NSAC that has handed down these punishments. MBS knew. How could Giga not know?

I need to hear what happens at the hearing tomorrow for MBS.
