	Kimo Suspended Six Months, Fined $5,000
		Kimo Leopoldo, who was knocked out in the first round after tasting a vicious knee to the face from Ken Shamrock in their June 19 fight, tested positive for illegal steroids.
		Kimo is now the third UFC fighter in two years who tested positive for illegal steroids, and when coupling that with the failed tests of both K-1 star Rick Roufus and boxing's Fernando Vargas, this parasitic turn of events is quickly eroding the fightsport's fledgling respectability.
		Leopoldo tested positive for the steroid Stanozolol, as well as ephedrine, pseudoephedrine and phenylpropanolamine, after his June 19 loss to Ken Shamrock.

	PSDTC Forum
		Kimo doesn't look like he is on steroids anymore so it shouldn't be much of a fight.
		Kimo is KIMO and for those that know him, know exactly what that means (Bas cannot and probably will not take him lightly) Kimo is a great wrestler & has submissions of his own, but his real strong points are his chin (IE watch his fight with Bob sap) and the guy can strike HARD.
		Recall that Royce took Kimo out Via Submission, so did Ken Shamrock after him and in Kimo's last fight (7/17/05 VS I. Minowa) he was again submitted (achilles lock) -While Bas's last fight was a victory over Kevin "monster" Randleman.
