They dropped him from the full 2 year sentence since he admitted to taking it.

Nice to see someone actually admit to taking something for once!

He is getting up there so 18 months is still a long time.

Retroactive so he would be able to fight in October of 2017

Machida's career has been finished ever since the elbow fest vs Yoel Romero. Good bye.

Machida's probably pretty screwed. Took 2 nasty losses and now he's going to have gone 2+ years without fighting by the time he gets back. He's falling off the radar quickly.

that and the fact he tainted a hall of fame career, by being caught using PED's.




Also by Machida getting caught, now makes it so that every single fighter that Rich Franklin lost too, have all been either caught cheating or it  is a known fact that they used PED's.

According to chael Lyoto self reported then passed his test. Still getting suspended. Same thing as mirko.
