I have a new story posted at Sherdog.com, Report Connects Zuffa to Xyience.
The story covers the Fertitta's reported financial involvement with Xyience, Xyience's failure to honor sponsorship agreements with UFC fighters, allegations of contaminated supplements, the desist and refrain order in California, and Russell Pike's involvement in the company. Quotes from Xyience, Monte Cox, and Matt Hughes business manager are included.
UPDATE: Quotes from Liddell and Griffin's manager are now included:
Liddell and Griffin -- along with Josh Koscheck, Mike Swick, and Cung Le -- have been paid in full as of a couple weeks ago, according to their manager DeWayne Zinkin Jr.
"Early on there were issues," Zinkin told Sherdog.com Monday morning. "But since we've dealt with [Xyience CEO] Adam Frank and the new people in charge now, everything that they have said they were going to do, they've done. All of our guys have been paid in full, so we're happy. We're waiting to get proposals from them for future work."
