You do not find steroids naturally occurring in supplements lol. That poo poo makes no loving sense

You might find rat bones or insect anuses, maybe even some traces of meth, but not steroids just layin around in jars of protein powder lol.

You are very wrong very confidently. If you have an opportunity to put something that actually works and that is very cheap (in Mexico) into your wildly unregulated fitness powder (produced in Mexico) you'll find that a lot of people do.

UFC 221 card...



:barf:

this would be a legit excellent fight night card. as it is it's only a pretty bad ppv card. looking forward to ben 10, horny guy, volkanovski, the obese guys, and whittaker / rockhold.

It's a legitimately compelling challenge for max. His knock outs usually come after wearing out his opponent rather than one hit ko's. Frankie does not wear out.

I expect Max to win, but if Frankie shows up in the best form of his life I'll allow that a loss is at least possible for a guy who got wrestled by Conor (a million years ago)

I'm keen.

Frankie got rocked pretty bad by Charles Oliveira, of all people, so I’m pretty sure Max is going to hit him a bunch.

Oliveira is pretty good and enormous at featherweight?

i had suspected that barboza might be the best lightweight in the world. i was very wrong, but he can still be my lw hero. here's his reaction to big john asking if he wants to come out for round 3 against khabib https://gfycat.com/FlawlessPeskyBrahmanbull

barboza will never hold a belt and be relegated to footnotes in pithy message board discussions about how if he wasn't illegally knocked out in the tony fight he would have won and lived tony's life (interim champ 2017-2020) while tony is relegated to lw's magny. the person that makes this argument is exclusively me, here, and i can't help but think that barboza deserves more than that. c'est la vie.

if barboza wasn't illegally tko'd in the tony fight he'd be interim champ by now and tony would have just been squashed by habib

weidman's win over gastellum was more impressive imo but who cares rockhold / whittaker is a good fight and whittaker is way more likely to beat rockhold than weidman which is nice because i like whittaker

Yeah Khabib's standup style is basically eat a bunch of shots to set up grappling

it's a little bit more nuanced than that in that his looping punches can either succeed and crack a dude in the face or even if it's blocked / misses it leaves khabib most of the way set up to just reach out and grab the guy and drag him down. it's really effective but if he was to compete in a kickboxing / boxing match he would get hosed up by darrel horcher

Apparently Cody Garbants is coming out with a book. That seems, uh, that sounds hard to believe.

i haven't had the patience to find out if cody has anything interesting to say because 5 minutes is apparently my unspoken maximum upper limit for listening to people try and verbalise a simple, single clause thought.

hopefully he doesn't have a ghostwriter and it's just cody's story - raw, hot, and uncut. if he does have a ghostwriter, i hope he actually has interesting experiences and ideas that he keeps very well hidden

e: ah just read the summary. sounds very safe. disappointing.

If only there were some sort of compromise, like offering a replacement fight on the ppv next week

those fight camps that cost money are tailored at the highest level to a specific opponent. losing to darrel horcher's bigger brother (a real risk for vitor right now) could seriously affect his future ability to secure cash to fight in japan while like a resident evil boss

He keeps refusing to say that Conor is stripped, so it seems like they're waiting until Tony v. Khabib actually happens to make it official/waiting for Conor to sign something, just in case one of them dies attempting to climb the scales again.

my guess is they got conor to sign something saying that khabib in russia if khabib wins or i'll let you strip me because it's not worth it to me to fight tony in north america

Should be a good fight and I'm excited to see how it plays out.

he's able to go 4+ rounds when he's in full control of the fight. like rumble. when pressured, he has less than two rounds of gas. also like rumble.

If jj was like #9 or something and rose was not in the top 15, then that would be weird.

i think it's weird that someone you dominate for three minutes before knocking them out in the first round in a division where knockouts are only theoretical gets ranked above them.... unless the list is counting... down? is conor mcgregor the worst fighter on earth p4p second only to demetrious johnson?

also lol ad edwin and clay. although clay looked bafflingly good against koch. i'd say this has earned him the right to be knocked out horrifically by edwin
