I wouldnt write him off if he had any decent training behind him,the man had Bisping ko'd basically only a few months ago hes not shot to pieces,DC is a fantastic fighter but hes a novice at striking compared to Silva,dc stands with him ill be surprised.

Striking, obviously Anderson wins. But if Chael can wrestle**** a prime Anderson for 5 rounds, you can be sure as hell a bigger, stronger DC will just do a better job than Chael. If it goes to clinch I can see DC v hendo repeat

Think theres a lot of pressure on Miesha headlining this big card,looked a bit out of character at the weigh ins can see her being dethroned early.

The other thing about these PEDs, is that they mainly affect performance, not body composition. For instance the cyclist on the Tour de France, not exactly in monster shape but some are juiced up to the ears. Same applies to fighters and boxers. They take them for stamina, not for pecs.

That's a really bad example.
Cyclists preference PEDs like EPO. Fighters preference testosterone. Saying that it doesn't doesn't affect body comp is not accurate.

It was a tainted supplement apparently. How can a fighter not check everything they're taking with USADA first is mind blowing. Lost alot of people alot of money because of it.

Tainted means there's an ingredient there that shouldn't be or isn't listed. Different from a banned supplement.
Asking USADA about it wouldn't help as nobody knows it's there.



This main issue I have with USADA violations announced without the substance. It starts all sorts of speculation, and people start finding confirmations in old photos. But by the time the info comes it's too late.
Gleison Tibeau is a perfect example.

Thats if he has tested for testosterone. Fighters can benefit from non-anabolic enhancers, especially for a 5 round fight as well.

I'm awarethey can, that's what I was referring to with Tibau above (EPO). But PEDs like that are still the minority in MMA.

So this part;

The other thing about these PEDs, is that they mainly affect performance, not body composition.

Is not really accurate.
The PEDs in MMA are mainly anabolic, which affects body comp too.

But think the 3 year old picture text proves anything.

I genuinely cant see much difference there at all to be honest.

Does he have to cut much weight?

What's the weight limit for heavyweight these days....though it was 265.... but Brock was 265.5

If he weighted in at 265.5, I'd assume the ''give or take'' a pound still applies even at the upper limit of the HW division.

1lb allowance across all divisions, obviously for a title fight a fighter must not be over the limit at all.

Gonna be a long day waiting on tonights fights

Gotta feel for Jones in all of this. Lesnar is evidently above the law here, Jones is not. Race issue?

HW like all divisions has a 1lb grace for all fights.

265.5 means that Brock definitely cuts weight. Who knows what he'll weigh in there

Lesnar passed 6 drug tests last month.
Jones failed 1.

Lesnar's dubious "tests" get green flagged but Jones is popped for supps!?

Suspicious.

Jones might even have a legal case here. It's a pity the mma fans are the ones who will pay the ultimate price though.

Just ignore it lads, a reaction is all he's looking for, there's no question about it.

Moving swiftly on, can't wait to see the size of Hendricks and Gastelum tonight. It's basically a middleweight fight in the welterweight division involving two light heavyweights. Wonder will they dangle a turkey leg above the octagon to get them pumped? :pac:

JJ's public image is ruined now, I hope USADA/UFC have their facts straight.

JJ should not stand for this and sign for Bellator in the morning.

Are you really blaming them? Unless they put the banned substances in the samples then all they are doing is their job. Everyone has to responsible for what goes on their body no matter what.

The bottom picture from yesterday is from the ceremonial weigh in when he could have been 15lbs heavier. He didn't take his shirt off in the official weigh in which is interesting.

He too brainwashed to change at this rate,hes going round saying his loss was a fluke and all last time no humble attitude so hope hes humbled tonight he needs it.

Rumours Ronda will be there to set up a fight between her and Meisha. I have to say I would prefer see Ronda rematch Holly before going for a shot at Meisha, we have seen Meisha v Ronda before and know how that will most likely end, unless Ronda isn't the same Ronda anymore.
