What a great end to a great week. Obama wins, Roxy wins, and now the retard running the California State Athletic Commission has stepped down. Yep, Armando Garcia - the man behind countless acts of commission stupidy - is stepping down as head of the CSAC. No reason has been given yet but I'm sure it's gonna be something juicy. Any of you 'reputable' journalists out there with hints that you can't post, send em my way! Armando Garcia leaves the CSAC as the most hated commission in mixed martial arts. In honor of him finally fucking off, here's a partial list of the CSAC's greatest hits. If you remember any others, make sure to leave a comment in the forums! Suspending fighters for 'faking a fight' because one of them did a cartwheel pass. Suspending Josh Thomson for wearing a t-shirt calling Frank Shamrock a bitch. Allowing an HIV positive fighter to fight Trying to cancel Frank Shamrock vs Phil Baroni over bogus health concerns Hilariously inconsistent policy on cutting steroid suspensions in half Refusing to license foreign refs who have had over 13 years worth of reffing experience Re-licensed Mike Kyle, who assaulted another fighter with multiple illegal blows and had to be pulled off his victim by several referees Cancelling events at the last second for bogus reasons Delaying the Sean Sherk steroid thing forever because of complete ineptitude ... not bothering to read the information Sherk's lawyer sent them in advance Fucking Phil Baroni in the ass over a false-positive testing Constant delays in the Sean Sherk steroid case Trying to ban smokers (and no, not the gross kind) Suspending Nick Diaz for weed without testing Nick Diaz for weed Constantly cancelling fights at the literal last second Demanding a bond covering TWICE the amount of fighter pay Medically suspending fighters for retarded amounts of time Deviating from the Unified rules definition of 'back of the head' Cancelling Joe Riggs' fight for a drug Riggs didn't have in his system Cancelling Aleks Emelianenko vs Paul Buentello seconds before Aleks was supposed to step on the scales for the weigh-in Announcing failed steroid tests before confirmation  what a fuck up. I hope someone writes a book about this idiot that shows how not to run a commission.  So far all the links I have clicked lead to hong man chois tumor All works fine ... the first two links go to a single post regarding two incidents. The choi tumor was the initial reference in the post but you know how I am with talking about multiple things in one post :-p  Google his name and you get this:[Link] Dude I was just about to post an apology. I figured it out after minutes of stairing at the computer Wow, Chato got one hell of a plastic surgeon Here's hoping the person who follows Garcia is someone good and not one of his cronies :-S Get someone who cares less about the money generated, “Commission revenue the year before I took over the job was at about $441K,” Garcia told BoxingInsider.com. “In my first year we went to $1.3 million, the next one $1.6 million and then this tremendous $2 million plus year.”, but more about the athletes. Could we see underlings from the NSAC apply for the CSAC? Just get someone who is competent and fills the staff with competent people who don't half ass everything. The number of times the CSAC has fucked over people / fighters / organizations simply because they didn't bother doing work that should have been done weeks before is way too numerous to even bring up here.  So who will be in charge now? According to MMA Weekly: [Link] An interim Executive Officer will be appointed at the meeting, and an executive search committee will be formed to find a permanent replacement for Garcia.
