I am always seeing different types of pictures on twitter of fighters and stuff so I thought I would start a thread where we could put them.
Here's one of the UFC press conference setup, pretty interesting place to do a press conference!

NAC now leaning towards an "indefinite suspension" for Wanderlei Silva aka life. 1 member said running away was worse than testing positive

Barring a drastic turn of events, I suspect we just witnessed the official end of Wanderlei Silva's fighting career.

& as long as Silva is banned for life in Nevada, the UFC will not book him anywhere else in the world, even if he does decide to fight again

For whatever it's worth and based on previous conversations with him, I expect Silva's lawyer Ross Goodman to appeal this.

Official: Wanderlei Silva has been given a lifetime ban in Nevada and fined $70,000 for running away from a random drug test.

Anywho; Wanderlei Silva doesn't need to pay that fine. Don't fines only matter if they plan on fighting in that region again? So if Wanderlei planned on fighting in Vegas again, he would need to pay the fine? If he's banned for life to fight in Vegas, he doesn't need to pay the commission anything. Even if he decides to come back and fight elsewhere.

I am pretty sure Wanderlei was not licensed at the time. I am pretty sure that was his defense was that they had no right to drug test him because he was not even licensed at the time. Now that does not fly with the commission, so he will never fight again for the UFC most likely. However I am pretty sure if that went to court they would lose, since really from a legal stand point they have no right to fine him.
Here an article I found where his lawyer talks about it. Now assuming what his lawyer says is accurate, I can't see how that fine could hold up in court, in fact I think it might backfire on the commission if they persuade a lawsuit, but I am no lawyer so I could be mistaken.

Either I'm wrong about that (I'm pretty sure I'm not, just not 100%) or Wand's Lawyer is dumber than him and missed this thing.
Other than that, he can try to fight this with technicalities until he's blue in the face, even if he catches them on a loophole it only means they'll be forced to drop the fine. As far as getting licensed in Nevada, they basically decide who and when. They can decide you've got an ugly face therefore won't be licensed in Nevada - or they can decide to do worse - they license him on a probation license and say that because he's considered a suspect user in their books they can test him every day. You think Wand can win a fight without juicing at this point? I don't.
