It was reported on the net a month ago, but Pedo Fernandez jumped the gun because there was no ruling yet and Cole went on the record to blast Pedro because at the time there no hearings even held. Cole was just suspended yesterday.Comment

This is SOOOO rediculous! and COMpLETELY UNECCESARY!!!!!
He didnt KNOW Marquez was ahead on the cards, he CLEARLY only did it to calm the fighter down. He said it in a different language then what Marquez understands.
