So just before I start this post I would like to state, that Alistair Overeem is my favorite heavyweight fighter right now. I even have a poster of him in my room, but I want to say that why does he get pampering where as other fighters have not been given the same treatment? By this i mean why did he just get a 9 month suspension instead of the regular 1 year suspension the NSC normally gives? I mean does anyone believe that his defense was that solid? Sure at least he had the doctor to say that he gave him a shot which included illegal substances and didn't tell overeem about it, but still? If your going to take that into evidence you might as well give Overeem a license. So i say what up?

I'm pretty sure fighters were suspended for 1 year after their Last fight. Overrem's last fight was months ago.

my understanding is is not suspended as he never was liescenced its him waiting to reapply, so 12 months from the application for lesnar, effectivly 9 from the withdrawn application.

theres no gaurentee they'll grant in december either

i would hope that so long as he's doesn't do anything stupid like this again, there should be no reason why they wouldn't.

Wiflet, I think he has already done the mandatory tests for the Lesnar fight licensing situation.  I think he is trying to maneuver his way on to the NYE card and with his suspension ending 4 days prior, he needs to do somethings to make sure he can get licensed to fight that night.

@Wifflet re: "can you get horse meat for human consumption in America"

It was legal to eat for hundreds of years until 1985 in the US (still is in many countries).  In a 10 year stretch ending about 07 they closed down all horse slaughterhouses in the US and then due to horse overpopulation, about 6 months ago, slaughterhouses became legal again and we are back choppin them Seabiscuits up.  It's only a matter of time until Secretariat is on my plate once again.

sweet. 
I want to try it but it seems very difficult to get over here- not due to legality just to their seemingly being no market for it.
I want to expand my things that died to be tasty for me list.
