weight cutting is hosed up, but you can't put the poo poo back in the cow at this point and the only system i've ever heard of that might work is monitoring fighter's weights continually, which only works if everybody fights in exactly one building in thailand

if usada were able to test every athlete 10+ times a year then i'd be all for them weighing fighters at each test, but i feel like any solution that isn't implemented at a regulatory level just creates a two tier system between the ufc and everywhere else. i hope commissions other than california start to step up, but it's a hard thing to get right and i could easily see dumbasses like the nsac making things worse.

I'm personally a fan of the One system. There's probably some huge drawback I don't know about yet, and I'll be told and change my mind, but on face value it seems pretty good.

Wrestlers have been beating urine specific gravity tests for years by holding their pee in and cutting weight. I forget how often One do the tests, but you need to do multiple tests or you end up with the same problems but everybody is on the verge of pissing their pants

Struve has actually spent a fair amount of time training with high level kickboxers, but he's a grappler, and his instincts are to grapple. He's made the pilgrimage to Semmy Schilt's gym in the middle of nowhere a couple of times, but honestly I'm not sure how useful it is for Struve because it's just not his wheelhouse.

ahaha, how does that work?

you keep yourself well hydrated and needing to pee, then you put on your sweatsuit and go through your cutting routine without peeing, your body is dehydrated and hosed up but you have the pee of a healthy, waterlogged man

With one caveat — Rockhold wants Bisping to come up and do the fight at light heavyweight. Rockhold said his days of making middleweight with those hard weight cuts are likely over.

“Let’s make it a little more intriguing,” Rockhold said. “Let’s bring it to 205.”

Tony should do what GSP did to BJ (not grease himself to a mirror sheen to the extent it makes his mom horny, but he should do that too) since Khabib showers in his underwear at AKA to make sure nobody sees his dick

are injuries more common now than when the fighters got accident insurance before usada? nobody was abusing corticosteroids when they had the chance. people weren't taking steroids to recover from injuries, let's be honest. the one ped that you can really tell is gone is epo at heavyweight. but me personally i don't want mma to be like logan's run where when you reach randleman's age you die.

people always got injured, but now they get injured and you don't get a rabbit pulled out of a hat and a last minute good fight because there's absolutely no benefit to you and no good will between fighter and promoter

Hey just following this up but today Jordan Breen wrote a weird tortured op-ed about rhetorically asking to speak to the manager about how Crocop is on steroids and shouldn't be allowed to fight Roy Nelson, but also that steroids are good and he doesn't care

He came down for some business with JT and we randomly did a podcast with him, he’s really funny and very charismatic, he’s a bit scary though.

i got that impression from the story about him applying for a visa and being escorted out by security.

the first time i ever went to swansea i took a wrong turn down this weird road, and it was just this barren expanse of cracked concrete with packs of actual roving wild dogs and it looked like the apocalypse. and that's "the big city" for the valleys areas. the old mining villages are mega hosed up, and as soon as i read about the guy i couldn't help but root for him.
