It makes me feel like a fool, but I’ll be honest: I really, truly expected to write this column about the Ultimate Fighting Championship lightweight title rematch between Rafael dos Anjos and Donald Cerrone. I really, really did.
When word got out on Tuesday that Anderson Silva’s defense to his post-UFC 183 positive steroid test was going to be a contaminated sexual-performance supplement, I thought that was going to be as good as it got -- as if I had never seen a Nevada Athletic Commission hearing before, as if I didn’t know what kind of sport mixed martial arts truly is.
