Does he have doubts, probably yes. Will you hear him voicing them, no.

You're too busy trying to stop an armbar/guillotine/RNC/High mount etc to be thinking of the lady parts near or squished into your face. Women also tend to be more vicious than men I've found so that helps keep the Woody Harrelson at bay.

Begs the question, are all the Alpha malers jacked?? they seem to share a far superior dense muscularity that you dont see as obvious on others in their respective divisions. joseph benevides, Uriah faber and TJ all look unreal. I'm not saying for sure but it's suspect alright. When the diaz brothers can point to a fighter and say they're on it, wouldn't it be fair to say his team mates knew? in the same way we all know when a lad in our own gyms is suddenly huge. And if so, wouldn't it be up to faber to say, hey if you're caught then folks may think we're on it too, unless they are and didnt see one of their own getting caught. worth considering at least no.

The muscular appearance is down to low bf%. Lots of bigger guys on the street would be carrying more muscle, they just cover it up with fat. They are also taller, I'm not ignoring that aspect either. There's a website out there that speculates on which bodybuilders are natural based on the max natural muscle you can build statistically. No reason you couldn't apply it to fighters. Of course, just because something could be natural doesn't mean it is. Two of Diaz's close teammates have popped. Before their last fight, Conor said to Nate "You must of known, right" ...or words to that effect.

Would shut a lot of people up. Conor is looking in much better shape than last time. Looks like he done a lot of work on his legs too. I can see him chopping Nate's leg to bits and taking it handy with punches and gradually wearing him down. I'm with Kavanagh on this one, 4th round TKO/KO. Hopefully he has worked a good bit at stuffing TD attempts.

The kick is just not his go to in his arsenal and when he kicks its nearly always to the body unless its an oblique token kick to the knee to keep them standing off and sometimes the odd kick just to mix it up. But i cant remember any fight even pre ufc when he chopped anybody's legs to bits.
