i think bantamweight is better. since its probably the lowest weight division where you dont have to be the rare breed of human who is both super tiny and not super frail or sickly to even be in it. which im not against but i do think it means theres less talented fighters cos of it

Hey guys. I’ve finally made the push to get off all forums and social media which hopefully will stick but hey who knows. I’m going to go auto ban this account after this so I’m not tempted to do this again. I just wanted to stop by and say thanks to everyone for posting with me for all these years, and that this is a great community. And I’d also like to say gently caress Mighty Mouse midget rear end toddler lookin bitch! The only place this guys going to be complaining about not being promoted at is GameStop! Gwa ha ha ha!

so whats the consensus on the DJ Cejudo decision? I don't think DJ had a great fight, but I was more of the thought that Cejudo didn't really do much to take the belt off him. I mean he maintained top control for a bit, but didn't impart any great amount of damage or threaten any submissions. I have a hard time seeing him winning espc when they showed the score cards.

havent seen the fight yet. Im happy for cejudo though, i was talking him up for a bit after their first fight. i think hes a strong fighter

Mighty Mouse being 1lb heavier than Cejudo just doesn't pass the eye test.

Eyes are mostly useless for judging weight. You can't tell how dense someones muscles are by looking and muscle density does vary depending on how theyre trained

USADA seems to always struggle to dole out punishments for their stars. strange.

the punishment goes from the date of the positive test anyway so its not benefitting jones, he cant fight until hes either cleared by usada or his suspension is over. chances are theyre just building a proper case so it costs them less money to fight it in court or something along those lines since rich athletes tend to drag things out like that

That doesn't really help Jones here, since the UFC is not gonna let him fight without clearance, so he can't get paid first and then go back to court to get forgiveness.
Though I suppose he could take a paycut and fight in One or something.

true. but if he gets cleared (chances are he won't but there's been some seriously unlikely defenses in doping cases before) he could argue over lost career earnings and stuff like that, plus loss of sponsors and that kind of thing. whether or not he has any real chance of winning those kinds of suits too is probably debatable but it's a lot of money to fight it. so i think usada will have the strongest case they can build

I think it's a fine defense if it's a substance you declared to USADA. If it's something you pulled out of your rear end that you conveniently forgot about then gently caress all that.

well these guys are using the slack FDA regulations regarding stuff like no xplode and that kind of supplement stack you can buy in america, which often have stuff not listed in the ingredients included in it and it creates a loophole where you can get away with banned substances so long as you find something that has it in but not listed on the ingredients list. and this is far too common with supplement stacks, common enough that they should just stop accepting it as an excuse, theyre already recommending athletes not to use them on their site as it is. if you need a specific substance or vitamin or amino acid or whatever you can easily get it in a purer form than this pre mixed garbage from unregulated sources

That's where I don't care for USADA at all. Retroactive TUEs, being able to go back and claim you were taking something. The policy should be if it's not in the sheet you give USADA you're out of luck. Retroactive TUEs should only be for emergency care and a doctor notifying USADA you're receiving whatever medication.

I'm not super well versed in all the policies but I know those are the two that seem to get abused by athletes.

Which, honestly, where does everyone fall with USADA being involved? The sport doesn't feel that much different to me pre and post other than maybe the physiques being less impressive. I guess I wouldn't really miss it.

I think a strong and independent anti doping process is vital. rather than it being an entertainment issue i just think its a human rights issue, if im competing i want the sport i compete in to be regulated, otherwise im packing it in and instead getting a job shuffling books around in a library and probably a pay rise too. probably every athlete with any sense will do the same or cross over to a safer sport so an unregulated sport is going be short on talent and therefore poo poo
