I agree that White made the correct decision in scheduling the B.J. Penn vs Joe Stevenson fight. I really don’t think the lightweight division could afford to be held up any further, not with how stacked the division is and not with all the other UFC champions having various problems.
As for payoffs, never describe to malevolence what can best be attributed to incompetence. Hopefully the CSAC will get it’s affairs in order and future hearings will be handled more professionally like a court proceeding and less like, well… the seemingly clownish state which it is currently in.

Yea, they are making such a big deal about it. Just let it be. Then again you have to expect it when its the fastest growing sport in US.

Now, does anybody else agree with Dana White giving the go-ahead to schedule BJ Penn vs Joe Stevenson for the belt? This terrible acting of the CSAC is absurd! I hope to God within the next three years that the athletic commissions’ DO NOT have power within testing for illegal substances and judging bouts! Too many things are messing up in the early age of this sport! I smell payoffs!
