Hey, Javier! I'm one of your former sparring partners. We worked out together with Grover Robinson, David Vedder, Kenny Lopez. Its good to see you up on the podcast!
Coach please address Usman doping accusations. I believe he had reasons to take prescription meds but the haters won't listen. Kindly shed some light on it.
ali already explained everything.. it is what it is.. just ignore the haters... if it was that serious he would be punish 1 to 5 years suspension , maximum fined , stripped of the title or even banned from MMA... heavier penalties if it was a PED violation.
Medications, prescribed by his doctor. His only mistake is he didnt notify the athletic commission in advance. All the MMA journalist is just waiting for any statement. We dont have to explain anything to them haters. They will never listen.
Javier Mendez 💯 PFL roster unknown and now with Bellator elite roster will promote mega fights. They won't cut fighters either they fight in the Bellator series or PFL season. Paramount that owns Bellator has shares with PFL and are "Minority" owners that is what Arial word it which means Paramount is more than a minority owner. PFL did not buy Bellator go watch Dann Davis in the MMA hour with Ariel Helwani. I believe PFL is leasing Bellator with the possibility of acquiring fighters for now.
