I know what the Testosterone to Epitestosterone ratio is and the mechanics of it are,
My use of "jacked" was of the superlative variety. As to say: the media made a song and dance about it. Hendo's ratios are, by default, going to be out of whack due to TRT. But I cannot recall the media or anyone else bringing them into the limelight.
Please friends, let's not burden ourselves with the need for proof. Hendo used steroids just like Vitor. I'm not going to whine about dudes who geared up for my entertainment, and delivered it for over a decade. They're paying the price now. Time to go back to doing it the old fashioned way, below board, and go back to being celebrated.

Wait, Rich Franklin isn't retired? I'll be damned.
Still, Belfort v. Franklin 2 is a better draw than JDS v. Miocic. I appreciate the latter fight, but not enough to give Dana White more PPV money.

Voice-over aside, imagine if Ultimate put half as much into their promos instead of finger jamming on a Joe Rogan soundboard.
The power of a Russian billionaire with a combat sport hobby.

I don't need any confirmation when she told me point blank. The only reason I've yet to capitalize is because it was busy at work. Magic only happens during dead nights.

I hope UFC has to cancel 173 due to low ticket sales.
Seriously though, 2 shows on International Fight Weekend that are both weak? That's their flying too close to the sun moment right there.

There is no way that same-day weigh-ins could make this worse. No fighter would ever attempt to cut significant amounts of water weight on the day of a fight knowing the danger it could pose for their long term mental health. They would all gladly diet down, sacrificing muscle mass and competitive advantages in order to match their frame to the arbitrary cut-off point for their weight class.
finally, slowly, catching up on last weekend's fight night... what an odd card.
we have juicy winning via submission from a stunned opponent he illegally headbutted. next fight we we get a horribly early stoppage as a fighter on the ground is actively attacking with a upkick. then see someone get multiple points taken away from grabbing the fence (no warnings i saw). a fight or two latter then another fight with an instant point deduction for grabbing shorts.
such shitty reffing all around. for the record, i'm ok with point deductions for clearly breaking rules, but it needs to be consistent. i cant even remember the last time i saw a single point taken for these things, let alone 3 in 2 fights were neither seemed to be hugely problematic.

i hope it leads to more people fighting in their natural wigiht class (or close to it).

This is "It's popular now it sucks" combined with "Heath Ledger as the Joker?!" taken to ridiculous extremes.
Fans of Oculus Rift should be glad. This means that there'll actually be an end-result of this experiment, and a media/marketing infrastructure capable of making it a fully-realised mainstream consumer product.
However, it's brought out legions of these pretentious posters who always like to "remind" us of shit like "... besides, I don't use Facebook or Myspace... (and I'm cooler than you by default that's why I'm mentioning it)" for us all to laugh at.
The only way they'd agree to same-day weigh-ins for MMA is if they add 10lbs to each weight class.

Yes works awesome. Met plenty of hot chicks on there. I posted a few of them in the Tinder thread. Got laid last Friday from it now meeting a 43 year old for this Friday. I have 5 chicks in the loop right now all 7/10 and above.

They're showing Shogun vs, Hendo 2 on TV here now.
The Maldonado/Villante fight was awesome. Maldonado is like Nick Diaz's retarded cousin or some shit. And I mean that as a compliment.
Dare I say that I want to see Hendo vs. Maldonado now.

I think they also recommended fighters weight be monitored through out the year. Which means that this is something the UFC would have to do. (And pay for) So I'm going to guess this ain't gonna happen.

Agree with the consistency but I think Yamasaki did it the right way. Fuck fence grabbing etc. First infraction than bam point deducted! Only way they'll learn. Same with eye pokes. They'll give out a warning but the other guy will be at a disadvantage for the rest of the fight.

Why aren't yall brahs in the demise of the NFL thread not posting about the death of The Ultimate? Or has it already fallen off that much....
Rafa, most people don't care enough about the Ultimate to worry about it's demise. It's the tree falling in the forest with no one around to hear it.
Very few people put their kids through MMA classes, but wrestling is as strong as ever (base of the pyramid yo) and MMA classes weren't a thing twenty years ago anyways, so it's bigger than ever really.
Plus, most people still don't know what the UFC is or that it isn't synonymous with MMA if they do know what it is.

ESPN: Fertitta backs commissions, random tests
Compare the cost of random testing to the budget of athletic commissions, even in Nevada, and you realize how disingenuous this position is. MMA media, please grow a spine and call this man out for blatant serpentine tactics.

One of the main reasons the UFC still exists today is government sanctioning. Circumventing the authority of the commissions puts them in a far tougher spot than deferring to them. Lorenzo explained it pretty well.
You can plug your ears and say LALALALALA THIS IS BULLSHIT LALALALALALA but at the end of the day you can either have athletic commissions governing this sport completely, or not.
