The MMA Nightcap: Dec 17th

The MMA Nightcap is your nightly recap of all the comings and goings in the MMA world.  Consider it your MMA Sportscenter.  With far less Tim Tebow.

– Antonio 'Bigfoot' Silva, despite being on approved TRT treatment, still failed his drug test at UFC Fight Night: Bigfoot vs Hunt.  He subsequently lost his $50,000 Fight of the Night bonus and is suspended nine months.


– Bellator middleweight Doug Marshall also 'pissed hot' and is suspended.


– Despite Dana White claiming it wasn't going to happen, apparently Tyron Woodley bugged the boss enough to get himself a fight with Carlos Condit at UFC 171.


– The prelims for UFC on Fox: Johnson vs Benavidez 2 garnered 613,000 sets of eyeballs.


– Not surprisingly, Anderson Silva has passed on the opportunity to be a coach on Chael Sonnen's TUF team.


– Shooto is running a man vs woman fight this Friday.  Yep, you read that right.
