What's the mma math on Herring, Lesnar and Amir?
Why is a ban in another sport applied to the UFC and MMA? Does that mean if Lance Armstrong was a good fighter he couldn't fight?
Iran has been sanctioned for a ton of years since the 70's, hardly has anything to do with Trump.
This guy needed 6 month training. HW champion easily. just kidding. Still some monsters out of IRAN. they are insane at wrestling also.He needs a Bane style mask with a oxygen supply to avoid gassing.
It was confirmed yesterday that the UFC had cancelled the contract of Amir Aliakbari as his lifetime ban for two doping violations in wrestling was recognised by the UFC's anti-doping program Administrator USADA.
Iranian news however decided to run that tweet through google translate and are blaming US economic sanctions against Iran as the reason

Iranian mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter Amir Aliakbari has had to bow out of the UFC –an American MMA promotion company- after the US sanctions against Iran prevented him from transferring his earnings.
The professional Iranian wrestler and MMA fighter Aliakbari says he was left with no choice but to terminate his contract with the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) when the US’ economic sanctions against Iran barred him from transferring millions of dollars of his income.
He was banned from Wrestling. why should that apply to MMA? Jon Jones popped for T Bol and is still testing for the metabolites but he can fight? He has tested positive 2 x's same as this guy.It was for doping. USADA has an ethical obligation to honor doping-based bans.
Well thenOne of Iran's sporting heros.
World champion wrestler in Moscow (2010), misse the 2012 Olympics because of a doping ban. Came back in 2013, won the World Championship again but stripped and banned for life for second doping offence.
10-1 in MMA and on a 5 fight streak beating up cans in ACB and RIzin
They shouldn't. Who even knows what he was banned for? If they were the Olympics that can be highly politicized and that is amateur. MMA in the UFC is professional. Those lines shouldn't be crossed IMO. If they are saying someone who doped previously shouldn't be allowed fight then that should apply to all including the current roster.Because USADA recognise bans put in place by other WADA signatories. And yes, Lance Armstrong could not compete in the UFC
for real for real
Gold!!!
I think he is already scheduled to fight in that BRAVE promotion from Bahrain.Man that sucks, he was a really good addition to the roster. Hopefully Bellator picks him up they'd be foolish not to.
