Podcast: Pat Healy, Jack May, Bjorn Rebney
By: Sherdog.com Staff
TJ De Santis and Jeff Sherwood returned to the Sherdog Radio Network Monday for another edition of “Beatdown.” Joining them was Bellator CEO Bjorn Rebney and UFC fighters Jack May and Pat Healy.
Read more
Rebney joined the program to talk about last Friday night’s Bellator card which saw champion Vitaly Minakov successfully defend his heavyweight title against UFC veteran Cheick Kongo. Rebney also takes a look at this week’s Bellator MMA card which pits Lavar Johnson against Blagoi Ivanov.
May will make his UFC debut on April 19th in Orlando, Florida. “The Outlaw” will square off against Derrick Lewis in the preliminary bouts of the UFC on Fox 11 card. The heavyweight discusses his road to the octagon, what he knows about his opponent, and where he feels he will fit in the UFC’s heavyweight division.
Healy had a tough 2013 going 0-2 and 1 no contest. The lightweight joined De Santis and Sherwood to discuss his 2014 campaign where he looks to re-establish himself as one of the UFC's premiere lightweights. "Bam Bam" hits the octagon on April 19th where he faces former Strikeforce title challenger Jorge Masvidal. TJ and Jeff also take listener calls, emails, and tweets this Monday. They also breakdown this weekend’s UFC Fight Night card, Pacquiao-Bradley bout, and if there is still a rivalry between the sports of boxing and mixed martial arts.

Pat Healy on Positive Marijuana Test: It’s a Pretty Unfortunate Rule
By: Sherdog.com Staff
Pat Healy, on “Beatdown,” discussing his positive marijuana test after beating Jim Miller and whether athletic commissions should test for marijuana:
Read more
“I don’t think you should be under the influence of anything when you go in there [to fight] or certainly not be able to take something that’s going to affect your performance while you’re in there, like if you took steroids prior. But something I did three and a half weeks out, where it had really no effect on the fight whatsoever, I mean it’s a pretty unfortunate rule, I think.”

Top 5 Forum Threads of the Week

A positive test for marijuana proved quite costly for Pat Healy.
Mere weeks removed from the most significant victory of his career -- a third-round submission against AMA Fight Club’s Jim Miller at UFC 159 -- Healy saw the result changed to a no contest by the New Jersey State Athletic Control Board. In addition, the 29-year-old received a 90-day suspension and had $130,000 in bonus money rescinded by the Ultimate Fighting Championship.
Healy was awarded “Submission of the Night” and “Fight of the Night” honors after he rendered Miller unconscious with a rear-naked choke on April 27. It was his first appearance inside the Octagon in nearly seven years. UFC President Dana White announced that bantamweight Bryan Caraway would receive the UFC 159 submission bonus in light of Healy’s test results.

Podcast: Pat Healy Discussion on 'Cheap Seats'
By: Sherdog.com Staff
Hosts Jordan Breen and Greg Savage returned Thursday for another edition of "Cheap Seats" on the Sherdog Radio Network.
Read more
For two hours, Breen and Savage opened up the phone lines and inboxes to discuss Pat Healy's controversial disciplining by the UFC, Bryan Caraway's not-so-thoughtful public response to getting Healy's bonus money as well as Nate Diaz's not-so-careful response on Twitter. The Cheap Seaters go in on proper MMA public relations, as well the hypocrisy of drug testing in MMA.
Breen and Savage also dive into Nick Diaz's upstart MMA promotion, the future of drug testing in Bellator, Dan Henderson's legacy in relation to TRT and much, much more.
