    Much like USADA is for the US

    Brazils is ABCD, Brazil Anti Doping Agency.

    Both they, and the Brazil Commission fully support USADA and more then likely the samples are collected by ABCD and given to USADA to test also though I would be open to correction. I am sure there are times USADA have officials on hand to carry out the sampling when they deem it necessary instead of subcontracting it out.

    I've backed Vitor only because how dreadful Nate looked in his last fight.

    He'll be going asleep if this goes longer than 3 minutes.

    The ref has that No Country For Old Men 'Chigurh' look to him.

    Max Holloway is the Hawaiin lad?...Casual here following Aldo after Conor beat him...Know Aldo is a legend an all that but I watched a show about Holloway in his home in Hawaii and they showed all his fights(didnt he fight McG(just googled he did)...google again(Mcg got injured but meh fcuk it Holloway took him all the way surely his a decent bet at 6/5...I really liked his interviews on that show and I think Aldo was the best but is going down..lads like Max are going up...I hope Holloway wins..I threw a 10er on at 6/5 in a 2 horse race.

    The thing is, Aldo has fought since the Conor fight. He fought Frankie Edgar and looked immense. He doesn't look like he's declining.

    Awh yeh:o:o:o
    I remember that now!
    My declining comment was not so much based on performance(simply because I dont know enough) but on his age and time at the top...10 years odd he was champ?he cant keep it up forever so was guessing he wont get any better did Frankie beat Holloway?I genuinely dont know.
    Think Holloway be a tougher test than Edgar(i heard a bit about him decent but just never as good as Aldo)

    Obviously I could be talking through my arse:pac:

    Max has far superior cardio and output and will keep a pace Jose Aldo can't live with over 25 minutes.

    I don't see it going the full 5 rounds though, Holloway will get him out of there within 4.

    Holloway to win by uppercuts or head kick. Aldo will underestimate his height and leave himself in the pocket too long.

    Vitor is just done. It's a shame that these guys don't have the money to just retire.

    2:1 hometown decision for Vitor I'd say. What a pile of pooh though.

    I am hoping Max wins but I think Aldo will take it. Especially at home in Brazil. Max looked very nervous against Conor and I am worried he will be the same against Aldo.I hope not but I think Aldo will have too much for him

    You didn't miss anything.

    The next fight should be good. The Polish girl Karolina has a granite chin. I've probably jinxed her now but expect her to walk through every punch Claudia throws and still be in her face winging jabs in the 5th.

    And she will look as cool as a cucumber while she does it. The girl looks like she is waiting for a bus while waiting for the fight to start. P4P most relaxed fighter ever. It's hilarious.:P
