Affliction: Banned vs. UFC Ultimate Fight Night 14

New fight has just been added to the live fight night card

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>A fight between "The Ultimate Fighter: Team Rampage vs. Team Forrest" cast members Tim Credeur (9-2 MMA, 0-0 UFC) and Cale Yarbrough (0-0 MMA, 0-0 UFC) that was originally scheduled for the show's live finale on June 21 will instead take place next week at UFC Fight Night 14.

The original match-up was scratched just hours before the event when Credeur failed a drug test due to his prescription for Adderall.

But today he exclusively told MMAjunkie.com that he has passed a preliminary drug test and that the fight has been green lit for UFC Fight Night 14.

Just prior to the weigh-ins for The Ultimate Fighter 7 Finale, Credeur, who was knockout out of the "TUF" semifinals by Jesse Taylor (and then again by C.B. Dollaway when Taylor was kicked off the show), voluntarily informed the Nevada State Athletic Commission that he had been taking Adderall. Credeur, who had a prescription for the psychostimulant, had quit taking the medication five days prior to the event and thought it would be out of his system.

However, a pre-fight drug test proved otherwise, and the fight was scrapped.

"The traces they found in my body were ridiculous -- like 17 parts per million or something ridiculous," Credeur said. "It wasn't at all possible to be performance-enhancing, but they've had fighters in the past who've suffered from strokes or heart-related problems -- palpitations -- because of Adderall or any level of amphetamines. I guess it's more of a safety issue -- more of a liability issue for the athletic commission."

He faced no disciplinary action for the failed test, but Credeur admits he was extremely disappointed that the fight was canceled -- primarily because he let down his opponent.

"It was disappointing," he said. "I felt probably more for Cale than for myself. He obviously didn't have any real part of it. I'd rather get knocked out in five seconds than not be able to fight. It's tough to train that hard and not get a fight."

However, he said he understands the NSAC's decision.

"That's how it goes sometimes," he said. "There's so many things that are banned (that) it's tough to know what is and what's not, and what you can take and what you can't take, especially if it's something you've been taking for years and years and years.

"I'm just glad they rescheduled it."</div>

oh I'm asking alright... either you're a closet rodeo fan or you're going on a date

that or you're a professional Rodeo clown and never wanted to owe up to it

 

That's some horse shit that Anthony Johnson lost there, how on earth did they give that to Kevin Burns? They gave him the win off of an illegal move by Burn's, after Johnson was somewhat dominating that fight. You could tell Kevin Burn's didn't mean to, so I'm not going to say to much bad about him, but he did win on some bullshit. Johnson should protest that loss, there was no reason for him to have lost that fight.

 

I dunno, I wasn't really paying attention to the anthony Johnson fight as i was making picks. And I'm keeping Jake as my pick. (too late to change) But looking at the fight I shoudl have totally went with Valasquez. He just looks a lot more impressive.

 

My wife let me buy Affliction Banned, so I have been flipping back and forth between it and fight night. I just watched Babalu/Whitehead fight, and it was a pretty fun fight. Whitehead is big enough to be a hard dude to fight at 205, he really looked good, but he definately didn't look good enough to win tonight. Babalu was awesome, looked good in the stand-up, and when taken down kept geting Whitehead in so many different submission's, he did pretty awesome. He was controlling from underneath, which got him the win, it was a real good win for him.

Anthony Johnson still got screwed though, poked in the eye and they gave the win Burn's by TKO, what in the world.

UGH, so far I have gotten pretty much everything wrong on fight night except the Cain Velazquez fight. At the same time, I have gotten about every winner right in the Affliction Banned. Being counter-productive with the UFC.

 

Broke people who want to watch Affliction:Banned can PM me.

 

Wow, so that was quick, less than a minute to knock him down and start dominating him. Anderson Silva is a complete badass, really, who could beat him? So much for Irvin thinking he was better on his feet, and such a bigger fighter, didn't go according to plan I see.

So that was two quick main event's, Fedor just beat the holy crap out of Tim Sylvia, that was awesome. He just clocked him a few time's, then proceeded to choke Sylvia out. So that really raises the question, which one really is the best pound for pound fighter in the world? Silva or Fedor? With how Fedor has dominated guy's like Tim, Big Nog, and anyone else in his path, it's hard to go against him.

I enjoyed the UFC fight night 14, most of the matches were exciting to watch and being free and live made it even better.

 

Nice sig Mamba.

 

wow, just caught up with affliction.. at least the 3 HW fights.. I'll catch the rest later.
glad to see my boy Paul B. won. Gary Goodridge is a solid fighter and hard to KO in MMA.. dude has fought a lot of K-1 fights so you know he can take a punch and a kick.

Anderson Silva was like 'Holy Shit'.. and Fedor was like "Holy f**king shit!"

to me there's the two best p4p fighters in the world and picking one ahead of the other... impossible.
I think Silva can fight with anyone at 205.
I don't think there is a HW around who can beat Fedor both men are efficient and sick as hell.

AA looked like his pre-Tim Sylvia fights self and he tore apart Ben Rothwell.
Josh Barnett is one of those guys who doesn't look that impressive physically or anything, but he never gets caught in anything bad and drops guys or outworks them on the ground all of the time. I still think Fedor walks over both of them.

great night of fights and we only have 6 more days until we get more FREE mma.
Get your thinking caps on again guys

if you need a sig, send me a PM, I have a bit of a collection to share

 

Damn, Silva is THE MAN! I've seen James Irvin knock guys out like crazy. I thought he had a good chance of taking Silva out, but great skill by Silva.
