Could Sonnen traina nd fight in Dubai even though he has a medical suspension in the states. What would happen if he did?
What would happen to UFC since you know it would be them pushing Sonnen to do it for the fight...

He want still be suspended when its time for the fight. Therefore nothing at all would happen to him but a likely loss to Silva. And nothing would happen to the UFC either, as again he wouldn't be suspended anymore at that point. I don't know if he wants to take that fight on such short turn around though. I say give Sexyama a shot at the gold. Or Cote his rematch.

I am sking if he could just disregard the medical suspension by going today to dubai and starting training. Ignore the suspension completely and start training as best he can as he heals. If he feels he can do light contact next week just do it.
Basically how much say do these enforced rules have on fighters if the y go out of country...suspensions etc. Bigfoot Silva went and fought in Japan after being suspended once I believe too...
Anyone know if he can just go out of country and ignore the medical suspension to train for the fight starting today?
