In Wanderlei news he ducked the UFC Brazil final and was claiming he was removed from it. He wasn't.

Man, the UFC is so fed up with Jones that they're publicly shaming him into signing a bout agreement. That's uh, pretty bad.

It is reminiscent of Anderson Silva post-Demian Maia.

http://www.mmadecisions.com/decision/5249/Diego-Sanchez-vs-Ross-Pearson these media scores are amazing, also Pearson has lodged an appeal but as New Mexico can't overturn decisions based on being "wrong" it's unlikely to succeed.

I get :thejoke: but why wouldn't you think Benson would be able to do what he did to Rustam (Hurt him with punches, leap onto a choke) to Diego, only much quicker?

Fun fact: Diego Sanchez holds the record for most fights ending in decision in UFC history (15), his last victory via stoppage was in 2008, and has only been stopped once in his entire career (TKO via doctor stoppage cut against BJ Penn). The one thing Diego is is that he is durable.

I hear Jason High is one of the nicest fighters ever so that kind of sucks for him, but at the same time I totally get the UFC's stance.

It doesn't bode well for the great James Thompson's UFC debut if ref-shoving is frowned upon :(

I think the issue is they're things a person would take coming off a cycle hence them been on the list. Chael is giving a legitimate reason for taking them, but again they are also something someone would take coming off a cycle and it's a month before he's due to fight so assuming he's telling the truth it's very unfortunate timing.

He isn't.

you won't find one person on here who believes chael's story.

Just asking questions.

Mr. Carlisle posted:

So they didn't give him a disclosure form to list his non performance enhancing drugs he was taking in order to transition from TRT, to stop negative effects of estrogen overproduction and also to solve fertility issues?

Bullshit or not it sounds like as good a reason as you could have to be on them.

Mr. Carlisle posted:

Fair point but was one of the substances on the list actually steroids or were they the non-performance enhancing things he listed in that interview? Just trying to see where the line between fact and fiction is in this hilarious mess and with someone as smooth at explaining himself out of things as Chael is you can never tell

Mr. Carlisle posted:

Yeah, he definitely hosed up and he admits that much in the interview as well. I'm not defending that he knowingly took stuff on the banned substances list just wondered how much of his reasoning held up for why and like you said his reasoning doesn't matter regardless since a banned substance is not gray area and context doesn't matter. Appreciate the answer, thanks.

Edgar/Penn 3 is such a pointless fight. It should be fun to watch, but we already know who the better fighter is. It'll just be 25 minutes of Edgar boxing Penn up and mixing in takedowns, like the last fight.

I remember my time as a teenager when I threw a woman and then headbutt her boyfriend. Kids make mistakes, stop judging the time I assaulted a woman and then viciously attacked her boyfriend. We all did it. It's perfectly natural.
