    No word yet on when this test is from and if it will affect the result of his bout with Jacare Souza.

    Pretty slim chance he gets his shot at Rockhold, now.

    Looks like a pretty normal 38-year old to me...

    Makes you think weidman might walk right into a rematch eh?

    My buddy is a massive Anderson Silva fan and is hoping he beats bisping and gets a title shot.

    I'm shocked! Shocked I tell you! A unusually yolked up fighter failed a test !?

    He can kiss his title shot bye bye. Maybe even his UFC relevancy.

    Its looking more and more like Weidman is going to get an immediate rematch.

    If he failed he's going away for two years. Not a death sentence for an athlete of his caliber but pretty awful. The years are unkind after 30.

    Rumour was his B-sample was negative. Apparently it was also positive. His manager (ugh) Malki Kawa is arguing that he took a tainted supplement. If they go down this road and appeal a suspension he might be in for even more punishment if it fails.
