Kevin Iole and Dave Meltzer give their reaction to what went down with Chael Sonnen in front of the California State Athletic Commission.
Update this afternoon from MMAWeekly:
The commission has now finalized Sonnen’s timeline as to when he would be able to re-apply for a license in the state. According to the California State Athletic Commission, Sonnen’s suspension will run through his current license expires on June 29, 2011.
Folllowing the expiration of his license, Sonnen will not be able to re-apply for a new license in the state until at least May 18, 2012. At that time, Sonnne can re-apply for a license in the state of California, but there are still no guarantees he will be approved.
Looks like Sonnen and UFC will be faced with the choice of snubbing California and heading elsewhere or the fighter will be sidelined until the middle of 2012. The extension of the penalty is similar to what California did to Antonio Margarito. We’re not comparing what Margarito was caught doing (loading his handwraps with a plaster-like substance) to Sonnen’s offense, but the state left the fighter with no recourse and no way to make a living. Frankly, that’s a ridiculous penalty in this case.
Update: The CSAC was "confused" and now Sonnen is eligible to re-apply this year.
"Upon reviewing the May 18, 2011 decision of the commission, an error in the applicability of Rule 399 was made," stated a release issued today by the commission. "The rule states that, ‘Any applicant who has been denied an application for a license may not file a similar application until one year from the date of the last previous denial by the commission. Any application filed within the one year period may be denied without the necessity of a hearing. Anyone who has had his license revoked may not petition for reinstatement or apply for a new license until one year after the date of such revocation. Any petition for reinstatement filed within the one year period may be denied without the necessity of a hearing.’
"Since the commission did not revoke or deny Mr. Sonnen’s license, the rule does not apply."

Performing as expected, “The Hangover 2″ has easily claimed a decided lead in box office earnings over the Memorial Day holiday weekend.
Having opened on Thursday night, the Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms and Zach Galifianakis starring sequel raced out to a sizable lead with projected 5-day earnings situated at $139 million.
By no means a poor performance – yet quite a ways behind “The Hangover 2″ – is second place garnering film “Kung Fu Panda 2,” as the Jack Black and Angelina Jolie animated tale is on pace to pull in $65 million over the 5-day opening weekend run.
Rounding out the approximated top five this weekend are “Pirates Of The Caribbean 4 3D” ($50 million), “Bridesmaids” ($20.6 million) and “Thor 3D” ($12 million).

LAS VEGAS – Frank Mir did all he could to finish Roy Nelson, but “Big Country” refused to go out. Unfortunately Nelson’s heart can’t make up for his lack of conditioning and he was mauled in a one-sided fight against the former UFC heavyweight champ. In a physical, long fight Mir posted a unanimous decision victory, 30-27, 30-27 and 30-26, over Nelson in the co-main event of UFC 130 at the MGM Grand Arena.
Mir (15-5, 13-5 UFC) won his second straight fight, but probably didn’t do enough to move himself back in the title chase. By playing the role of punching bag and possessing solid defensive work on the ground, Nelson makes it tough for anyone to look good.
“How many times did I knee him in the face,” Mir asked UFC analyst Joe Rogan during the postfight conversation in the cage. “What’s with that guy’s chin?”
Nelson (15-6, 2-2 UFC) fought at a solid pace for about three minutes and then started breathing heavily in the middle of the first round. Mir decided to wear him down by clinching along the cage. He made good use of the thai clinch (hands around the neck of the opposing fighter) by landing knees to the body and some big shots to the head. Nelson’s a top level grappler and jiu-jitsu practitioner, but he was so exhausted in the second and third rounds that Mir was able to dump him to the ground five times. Mir used relatively slow and simplistic single and double-leg takedowns to get Nelson down. After grinding it out with Nelson, Mir was somewhat satisfied by the win.
“Wrestling was my main focus in this camp and I think it worked out well for me tonight,” Mir said. “I’d rate my performance as a seven (out of 10). I expected to win the grappling aspect. It went even better than I had a planned. I felt like I was able to win in every aspect of the fight. Roy is really tough and I’m glad to leave here with the win.”
The calls for the 6-foot Nelson to get in better shape or go down to 205 pounds are probably going to go unheard. Big Country is stubborn and knows that even in less than stellar shape, he can compete with most heavyweights in the No. 5-15 range.
“I trained with too many smaller guys for this camp and I paid for it tonight,” Nelson said. “His wrestling was something I wasn’t expecting and I just got tired. I’m looking forward to getting my gym time back so that I can work on getting bigger and stronger.”
If Nelson adds “slimmer” to than plan, he’ll benefit immensely. At a blubbery 260, he’ll probably never break through to elite status.
The UFC’s heavyweight champ Cain Velasquez is sidelined until the fall with a shoulder injury. In two weeks at UFC 131, Junior dos Santos and Shane Carwin clash for the next title shot. After that, the division is wide open. Mir is certainly in the mix but probably has to post another win to lock up a shot.
Earlier in the night, UFC president Dana White announced that Brock Lesnar, another former champ, elected to undergo surgery in an effort to rid himself of diverticulitis. White said that Lesnar had 12 inches of his colon removed during a surgical procedure on Friday. The hope is that Lesnar can return in early 2012.

Las Vegas is buzzing about what sounds like a wacky real-life movie plot and now it’s reached another level with the inclusion of UFC star Tito Ortiz.
Keith Harriman is facing 12 felony counts connected to a plot to have his 27-year-old son killed. He’d complained of not having the money to hire sufficient legal representation, so putting up the money to cover his $500,000 bond was out of the question. That was until Ortiz came into the picture.
The former UFC light heavyweight champ posted the necessary money on the down low, but because of Harriman’s claims that he’s indigent, a district judge forced him to reveal who posted the bail.
The Las Vegas Review-Journal reports that Ortiz and Harriman, 49, have a relationship through Harriman’s brother.
Ortiz, a former Ultimate Fighting Championship light heavyweight champion, apparently has a relationship with Keith Harriman’s brother, Wayne Harriman, a used car dealer in Las Vegas.
According to published reports, Wayne Harriman helped bridge a rift between Ortiz and UFC chairman Dana White that led to a six-fight contract.
Ortiz has gotten himself involved in a wild story.
At a preliminary hearing in February, Dominick Harriman testified his father wanted him dead because he told insurance fraud investigators his father’s $160,000 burglary loss claim was a scam to feed a crack cocaine addiction. Dominick Harriman also said his father was angry because he had slept with both his dad’s ex-girlfriend and his ex-wife.
Dominick Harriman was shot at least nine times Aug. 27 at the used car dealership where he worked for his uncle, Wayne Harriman, at Nice Cars of Nevada, 3401 S. Decatur Blvd. The shooter has not been identified.
Ortiz spent a few days in Las Vegas last week around the UFC’s Fighter Summit at the Red Rock Casino, Resort and Spa.

The “Never Say Never” star and his “Monte Carlo” cutie were the picture of young love as they shared plenty of smooches while venturing about the tropical Maui locale.
During the course of the day, Justin and Selena shared a walk through the lush tropical gardens at the Hyatt Regency Ka’anapali.
The two lovebirds also were spotted jet skiing and parasailing earlier in the day, while Bieber later took Gomez to Lahaina for a little shopping and dining along the Historic Front Street.

He found himself in the small country after a stint in France then, in Italy for Naomi Campbell‘s 40th birthday celebrations. Leo relaxed with his friends at the club while playing a card game and smoking cigars - he managed to even get in some fitness by doing push-ups on a picnic table. Leo even had time this weekend to meet up with his rumored girlfriend Blake Lively. Leonardo DiCaprio and Blake Lively were spotted in the French town of Saint-Paul de Vence, the latest stop in their loved-up European itinerary that also included Portofino and Cannes.

Beginning last season, MX Sports Pro Racing implemented a new numbering system for the Women’s AMA National Motocross championship. In years past, riders selected their numbers based on availability and order of selection was determined by where a rider finished in the standings the previous season. While the champion was designated to wear the number one plate, all other competitors were permitted to select any number that was available.
The 2010 campaign marked the debut of a new numbering system that determines a rider’s number by where she finished the previous season. As a result, one’s finishing position in the championship would serve as her number for the following season.
While Women’s MX Champion Jessica Patterson will enter 2011 with the #1 plate on her bike, jersey and helmet, below is a list of the remaining numbers for next season’s MotorcycleUSA Women’s Motocross Championship in accordance to each woman’s position in the final standings for 2010:

Legendary musician and poet, Gil Scott-Heron, passed away yesterday in a New York Hospital at the age of 62. Deets inside….
Gil Scott-Heron, widely credited as "The Godfather of Hip-Hop" died at the age of 62 yesterday. Scott-Heron was critically acclaimed for writing the hit "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised," which mixed poetry, politics, jazz, blues and soul. His performance style, which combined the heavy use of percussion with spoken word, is widely credited as helping to shape hip-hop.
Jaime Byng, Gil Scott-Heron’s publisher in the UK, confirmed the death tweeting,
Just heard the very sad news that my dear friend and one of the most inspiring people I’ve ever met, the great Gil Scott-Heron, died today. Gil Scott-Heron’s death is NOT a rumour. I just called by Dorothy who is staying with Aunt Mimi in NY to tell me the news. I’m so sad.
Although Gil was HIV positive and battled addictions to cocaine and other substances for most of his career, no official cause of death has been released.
Meanwhile, the folks over at Rap Radar have compiled a list of hip-hop artists reacting to Gil Scott-Heron’s death and you can check it out here.

Making their debut post-engagement appearance, Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries were arm-in-arm at the Meridien Beach Plaza in Monte Carlo, Monaco on Friday (May 27).

And while Kim and Kris have confirmed their plans to wed this summer, Miss Kardashian’s brother Robert isn’t 100% sure that the walk down the aisle will take place.

In an effort to regain his license to fight, Chael Sonnen testified today in front of the California State Athletic Commission in Los Angeles. He was asked questions about prior testimony in his positive steroid test case from UFC 117 and his recent real estate scam run-in with the feds in Oregon. Sonnen even mentioned the fact that he’s been offered a slot on the UFC’s reality show "The Ultimate Fighter," and said if even he wasn’t licensed the commission is effectively retiring him.
Apparently, he couldn’t do a thing to alter the commission’s stance. The commission voted 4-1 in favor of keeping his license in suspended status.
With the help of ESPN.com’s Josh Gross and MMAjunkie’s Steven Marrocco, Cage Potato recapped some of the major moments of the hearing:
- Sonnen did his best to shift blame about his testosterone therapy statements, saying Matt Lindland informed him that he was cleared for TRT in Nevada and California. Sonnen admitted that he never had a conversation with the NSAC's Keith Kizer about it, and never intended to make it sound like he did.
- Kizer testified that he had a conversation with Matt Lindland in 2008 about a therapeutic use exemption, but Sonnen's name wasn't brought up specifically. Kizer pointed out a false statement in a previous declaration from Sonnen, in which he said that the NSAC told him not to declare testosterone injections in his pre-fight medical questionnaire.
- Sonnen became emotional while giving testimony about his fighting career. His eyes welled up as he discussed the opportunities he'd be missing out on if he wasn't re-licensed, including a "once in a lifetime" coaching gig on The Ultimate Fighter, which could lead to a title shot if he beat his rival coach (Michael Bisping). "If I don't get my license today I'm effectively retired," Sonnen said. "That came from the boss, Dana White…I worked for this chance my whole life. I don't want to retire today."
On Twitter, Gross clarified what "indefinite" means.
So there’s a chance Sonnen could get re-licensed elsewhere outside of California, but that doesn’t mean his status would change in Nevada. Why is Nevada important? That’s where TUF is taped.
Keith Kizer, the executive director of the Nevada State Athletic Commission, has said repeatedly that Sonnen needs a license to coach on TUF. Sonnen confirmed during the hearing that he was offered a coaching against Michael Bisping on TUF 14. Gross reported that Sonnen needs his license re-established by June 5 to be eligible.
