    Hey Jeremy. My name is Grady Stewart. I currently manage Jesse "JT Money" Taylor. He has been on the war path picking up titles all over the world. He has just been offered a very attractive contract by the WSOF. I truly believe he is top 5 middleweights in the world. I could be a good story for you to follow his way back to the UFC. Before he wins the WSOF Title to go with his 4 other current world titles which he has defended several times Beating guys Like Kendall Grove.

    This has to do in regard of the video concerning the "Matt Riddle Situation". matt riddle tested positive for marijuana metabolites. This is NOT the same for getting busted for marijuana. I'm sorry, I completely agree that rules ARE rules, and that you can't show up to your fight stoned. But...that is NOT what Riddle did. He had metabolites in his system; which is a bi-product of marijuana. NOT the same as having marijuana in his system. I do not believe a fighter should be on ANY drug before a fight; regardless of legality. But I can guarantee, Riddle had no help in his decision win from his MJ license. I can respect the stance that you make in every video you post. But at some point, as an unbiased professional, you MUST acknowledge the divide between TRT, roids, and PEDs and natural herbs in the profession. Almost no MMA fighter has been caught smoking weed right before a fight. Countless fighters have been singled out for using something thats gonna give them an edge in a fight. Alistair Overeem still has gold in his future,even though he lost. Matt Riddle has been given his walking papers. Is that fair? Fuck no!?!?

    [Jeremy- I tried posting my below response to your Matt Riddle article several dozen times and it wouldn't take. Could you please either post for me, or simply do as you deem fit. Many thanks. Best regards, Pete Teraspulsky]
    You say that fighting is “the easiest job in the world.” Really? REALLY?! I have survived a LOT of horrible things in my life, but I certainly don’t have enough of what it takes a LOT OF to be a fighter. Not even close.
    In fact, Dana White just declared that he believed that 99% of the male population didn’t have what it took to be a fighter (he was alluding to Meisha Tate’s ‘true-grit’ performance in her fight against Ronda Rousey). I would go so far as to say that ANY job that precludes 99% of the male population due SOLELY to its mental and physical demands is NOT, prima facie, an easy job.
    What say?

    JEREMY: I really like reading everything you do on the UFC. I am on BleacherReport 4 times a day reading but man do I disagree on this ...man come on.
    "Upset Alert" on Faber. totally makes not a lick of sense of course anything can happen in MMA but Ivan has no way of making it out of the fight.

    "seriously!? "Ivan" lost to mike Easton pretty bad Mike was too much power for the guy. Also he barley found a way out against TUF 14 Alumni John The Prince Albert. Albert was rolling Ivan. John got his butt kicked on the show. Last but not least on the Mike Easton note of being too much power for Ivan my Example: Mike got put in place by "Raphael assuncao" in his last fight and who Finshed the Black belt in the 3rd round? "Urijah Faber" took him everywhere in that fight and finished the Black belt when at the time Faber was only a Purple belt. Prediction "Urijah Faber Via Submission 2nd round"( Ivan is awseome but he truly lacks the level of strength to get through this fight he has no way out against Faber. Rest my case."
