If it's that serious athletes will use a catheder to inject clean piss into their bladders. This requires forewarning of when the test will be and a contact who understands how to insert urine through your dick hole into your bladder.

It's not pleasent.

Played baseball in college new some football and baseball kids who did it. The school learns about your test sometime between 2 to 4 days before hand and will generally turn around and tell the athlete.

USADA does alot of random poo poo so it's probably harder for fighters

stop the fucking fight, cornerman, your dude is fucking done and is about to be killed.
25 minutes in a cage with yoel Romero usually results in a moderate to severe case of dead I think whittaker did really well on that front.

I mean, if they're doing Moscow that's probably more Putin turf and I don't think him and Kadyrov are exactly buddies, but I also don't know poo poo about Russian regional politics.

I guess Khabib being so high profile inevitably means some Kadyrov bullshit will come along with it.

I don't think the UFC will give Russia Nurmagomedov vs. McGregor unless Russia outright bribes the UFC with a lot of money (which is possible, I guess) like they tried to get from Hawaii. Even then, they'd have to have the card at an odd local time to make it easy for the US to buy the PPV.

afaik Kadyrov is putins puppet dictator in chechnya, he'll definitely be floating around.

Its the idea of having a big market of terminally macho men to show punchsports to - They are wanting/hoping that somewhere in the world there'll be the country that is completely MMA obsessed and I think they are hoping that that country is Russia. I think you need to have more of an established middle class to get what they want, they've already tried china and reception has been lukewarm. If they can make a profit on cheap tickets and big events maybe that makes sense?

It seems like a waste of time, it'll just attract russian gangsters and chuds. Key demographic?

Stipe literally beat the potential out of the scariest heavyweight contender of all time. He beat him so bad ngannou, in his own words, "carried the fear" from that fight into his next fight. give him the rematch and put bronk in a cage with a tiger.

UFC really seems to think Russia has potential. They signed a deal with M-1 to give their champions a guaranteed option to sign a UFC contract.

It's no longer a blue world, Max. Where could we go?



Anderson Silva coming back is really interesting to me actually because there's a lot of different ways a fight with him can go at this point. You can fight him straight on and it will still probably be pretty difficult, but you could also do any number of things, like kill and eat his pet parrot which will piss him off and make it harder to scout your location, or go out of your way in the marsh to find a sniper rifle early in the game so you can shoot him in his wheelchair on the docks and replacr the fight with multiple GRU search teams. You could even stop playing the game for a few days or set your ps2 clock forward so when you start up next time he's dead from old age. Very compelling, and just in time for Tim Kennedy to come back.

I can't remember what he's doing in place of trying to end the Hitler menace, but I saw an ad for a new Tim Kennedy tv show over the weekend. Hopefully he is very successful in his current endeavor so I don't have to think about him any more and Hitler can enjoy his retirement in Argentina in the city of Bariloche, just off avenida de los pioneros.
