We haven't seen a violent Woodley lately because he hasn't faced violent opponents.

Im not exactly sure what it is about till but he's more unlikable than Woodley somehow

Woodley puts him out with a knee, calling it

I think he's easy to dislike after talking all that poo poo about how it should illegal for him to fight welterweights then massively blowing his next weight cut and having a lovely fight.

they said nicco was going to be fine in a couple days, im not sure why they didnt just put the fight on the conor card next month.

I'm guessing because they never really wanted her to begin with.

Also how much you buy that her statement about being asked to wear Native headgear and makeup was misheard or not.

For some reason I've got a sick feeling Conor is getting the KO after a questionable stand up.

This basically.

Couple of people in the thread talking about how khabib survives in the stand up, he doesn't. Thats the key difference here and why I see mcgregor having the advantage. Mcgregors gonna be hyper conservative on the ground, he isn't going to fight, hes going to survive, he just needs to defend until a stand up or the round ends. Khabib takes time to do his thing and short of a sleepy Conor giving up his back I don't see a submission happening. When its on the feet its mcgregors game by an irish mile. He's absolutely sleeping Khabib when Khabib comes in because khabib *has to* come in.

I'm pretty sure Conor isn't going to have the kind of guard he'll need to just buy time. If he even gets to catch Khabib in his guard at all.

Rigel posted:

If Khabib gets in Conor's guard, then Conor will be in serious trouble. There will be no standup because few people are more active in that position than Khabib. He doesn't really even need to pass or go for submissions, he's pretty good at beating the poo poo out of people even while in their guard.

I haven't seen the fight since it happened. But didn't Chad $ drop some brutal elbows from inside Conor's guard?

BJ was seriously too tough for his own good. Those beatings from Nick Diaz and Rory were rough to watch and I can't help but wonder if those contributed a lot to his decline.

I feel a lot more comfortable about JJ coming back after reading that arbitration report.

Dana said they didn't want any trouble in New York again. I'm not exactly sure what he thinks would happen. Maybe members of their entourages sneaking in or whatever? It was obviously a poor decision.

I'm not going to google it but I believe one of the families got the rights to the story in a civil suit and put that book out.

Juice never wrote the book, he just got paid to say he did. The Goldman family picked it up in '07 and added to the title.

I actually didn't know about that last part until now.

Banning re-hydration via IV hosed up some guys for a bit there too

I understand why they don't allow it, but I feel like there should be some way for people to still get IVs in some sort of controlled environment.

TheKingslayer
Sep 3, 2008

Yeah the purpose was because IVs can mask certain performance enhancers. But if you get a sample from the athlete after weigh in and then administer the IV I don't see what the harm is. Unless there are substances that can help you out with that short of a window between weigh in and fight.

EDIT: If I'm in the USADA testing pool and I want to continue using synthetic steroids, what are my options for beating the drug tests? I'm guessing fighters are still able to get away with it, but I'm curious how. Are people using substances that are new enough that USADA isn't testing for them?

I have no information to support it but I would be willing to bet there are absolutely drugs they currently can't or aren't testing for.
