Even if Silva gets his license revoked by the CSAC, he can still go back to Japan and fight again, he just can't fight in the US. Silva applied for a license with the CSAC and therefore has to abide by their rules and their decisions. If they decide to take that license away, they can, he doesn't have a "right" to a fighting license. eldiablo,

What is going on here is you have a non-American fighter who got suspended in California (and by default all states that regulate MMA) who thought it would be OK to fight in Japan. The CSAC ruling/ban is not international; no one body save for the United Nations has that power. The point of my argument is that the guy should be able to fight elsewhere and that the CSAC is getting a little power hungry, and I stick by that. It's like what Dana did when the IFL came onto (and then quickly out of) the scene. He said "well if you go over there you can't ever come back here". And guess what, he's taken MANY IFLers back into the UFC. Silva may be suspended further, but I'm sure after appeal he'll be back (albeit unfortunately) at Strikeforce in no time. But the CSAC does legally have the right to sue Silva's manager and whoever governed the fight in Japan. But let's see if the CSAC has the balls to sue them. dbiz, you’re just ignorant for the sake of being ignorant.

Arby's being the only one I would really consider. Personally I think I would prefer Sushi Shack to all of those you mentioned. Arby’s being the only one I would really consider.

And in this particular instance, BK, Wendy's, KFC and Arby's have all agreed to honor the McD's suspension. So he's stuck eating at Sushi Shack.

They are still part of the United States and subject to oversight by the US Department of the Interior. Also, Diablo is an idiot, since he didn't pick up that a warrant in California is acepted anywhere uin the US...HEY! Kinda like that suspension! If you run away from one, it'll bite you when you try to come back. Funny how that works out. Yes and no, Justin.

I also think that BSBiz made the most clear argument, but I did like your analogy DBiz. I do have to point out, though, that Silva fighting on an Indian Reservation is no different from Silva fighting in Japan. Indian Reservations are treated as a sovereign land. That's why they can have casinos in states that don't allow gambling. I don’t think that the CSAC is over stepping its bounds in this situation.

Here I go having to be the voice of reason yet again. Diablo, as long as there is competition, there will be people trying to get an advantage on the competition. A little extra money will have no effect in the least on that. See all the other professional sports. He is having his license to fight in the state of California being revoked and the other state athletic commissions that sanction MMA fighters are honoring that suspension. It would be like a doctor who had his medical license revoked for a year in New York not being licensed to practice in Idaho on the same grounds. I have no problem with this. If Sasquatch wants to run off and not fulfill any suspensions, he doens't have to. But he won't be fighting in the US until he's cleared. End of Story.
