MDH Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 (edited) some steroids have less side effects than natural testosterone, but you knew that. Can you link me to a peer reviewed medical study - not a weightlifting or supplements site - that supports this claim? And assuming what you say is true (and it's not because they cheated in the past), I guess this means that you think it's fair to have guys who are WAY past their athletic peak competing on equal terms with athletes who are in their primes simply because they get replacement therapy.

I actually think they should use whatever they want under medical supervision of the team doctor. I read it in the Underground Steroid hand book, pretty tough to find these days but this is a start. https://www.scribd.com/doc/130030488/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_Duchaine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Barbarian Posted May 21, 2016 Author Share Posted May 21, 2016 Former UFC middleweight champion Chris Weidman has been forced out of a title rematch against Luke Rockhold at UFC 199 on June 4 because of injury, a UFC official told ESPN.com. Weidman, 31, released a lengthy statement on social media describing the injury and his potential next steps. According to sources close to the New York native, he is still seeking medical opinions. In his post, Weidman said he experienced neck pain and "severe vertigo" last week. He was diagnosed with a "large extrusion herniation" by a spinal surgeon, who recommended surgery. At first, Weidman believed he could fight through the injury and continue to headline UFC 199, but after an epidural injection failed to relieve pain, he made the difficult decision to withdraw. Weidman (13-1) said that maximum recovery time, depending on surgery, is 12 weeks, and he expects to be ready by UFC 205 on Nov. 12 at Madison Square Garden." http://espn.go.com/mma/story/_/id/15629759/stephania-bell-breaks-injury-sidelining-chris-weidman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Barbarian Posted May 22, 2016 Author Share Posted May 22, 2016 Bellator 155 took over the CenturyLink Arena in Boise, Idaho, Friday, bringing a middleweight title clash between champ Rafael Carvalho and challenger Melvin Manhoef with it. This main-event fight promised fireworks, but promises are made to be broken, after all. The two started off slowly – so slowly, in fact, referee "Big" John McCarthy had to halt action to remind them why they were there, encouraging them to pick up the pace. The crowd got restless, but neither fighter seemed to mind. In a moment of pure apathy, the two walked away from each other with approximately five seconds to go in the round, choosing their corners over a chance to win – or to defend – the title. To close out the affair, Carvalho and Manhoef traded takedowns, with neither fighter able to mount any significant offense from top position. It was a fitting finish for this fight, as nothing of note happened in the final frame. Ultimately, the champ retained his title via split decision, much to the chagrin of Bellator commentators Sean Grande and Jimmy Smith. "I'll say it, Jimmy: The only thing more disappointing than that fight was that horrendous decision," Grande said. "I am disgusted that this fight went this way for Rafael Carvalho," Smith echoed. "I am disgusted for the sport right now. That's all I can say about it – that I can say on TV." http://www.mmafighting.com/2016/5/21/11724208/bellator-155-recap-carvalho-controversially-retains-title-dufresne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is such a shame. While I don't think Weidman deserved an immediate rematch but inserting Bisping into the title fight makes this a card I might not bother buying. I expect Bisping to get completey demolished by Rockhold. Hell, I don't think Bisping did enough to beat an over the hill Silva yet here he is against the best in the world. Cruz/Faber isn't a bad fight, but I expect Cruz to cruise to a victory fairly easily. Faber has nothing for him standing and he won't be able to get it to the ground/keep it on the ground long enough to make a difference. The one I'm looking forward to is Holloway/Lamas, but I'm not sure it's enough to get my $60. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LB3 Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 This card is a disaster. Losing Weidman really stinks. Cruz vs Faber could be decent, but Cruz will likely just get on his bike and outpoint Faber. And now we can't even watch BJ get messed up by a gatekeeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDH Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 anti-dopingdopes This one I agree with you on. I don't mind them getting rid of the IV to prevent massive weight cuts but the year long ban on them is ridiculous. Nobody is cutting weight between fights, they're not protecting the fighters by doing this. That being said, a rule is a rule and if they want to compete it's up to the athletes in a sport to know the rules and follow them, even if they don't agree with them.

He made comments about wanting to tap into the Candian market by bringing it to BLO. Sweet. If I remember right there was a card in Buffalo back in the 90s but the day before the state stepped in and said the fighter had to wear headgear and gloves, To which the UFC moved the card to Puerto Rico. Thanks NY for screwing up more stuff. It wasn't long after this that other loser politicians tried to get some notoriety and went on a witch hunt to ban the UFC altogether.
