Oh lol @ me. Thought they both said March 3rd

Oh, c'mon. He admitted to a serious injury during camp and then reinjured it during the fight.

i think rousey might be a bit overrated , her standup is terrible , she hasnt fought any good opponents , tate is actually pretty decent at mma , her wrestling is pretty good and her standup is respectable ..i just think shes a more well rounded fighter evntho rouseys jits/judo is very good .

lol at scouting womens mma .

finally had to see what the guys name was that gets censored everytime, was hopin for somethin better

Subscribing.

I am confused. On ufc/com schedules it says Alves vs kampann 9/6 march 2nd

what is on march third and more importantly why isn't it listed?

I think they're referring to strikeforce on the 3rd.

The UFC is pretty lazy with it's website, also they just may not be putting strikeforce stuff on UFC.com.

I'm definitely confused with how ZUFFA is handling strikeforce. They gutted the org and don't seem to be hyping their events at all. I remember not that long ago right after the UFC bought strikeforce, strikeforce had it's most stacked card ever but ZUFFA did zero promotion and the Arena was completely empty.

Then not that long ago they signed a contract extension with showtime...

ya the OP doesn't make it very clear what is happening on march 3rd

I forgot details were in the OP. lolme

Stim,

Strikeforce didn't sign an extension with Showtime as much as Showtime picked up their option.

I was under the impression showtime signed their option, then ZUFFA signed another multi year contract on top of that.

Hopefully it's just the 1 year extension. We need more mousasi.

Plus the real #1 contender at LW is in strikeforce. Gil not being in the UFC is absurd. He's better & higher ranked than Nick ever was IMO.

I know, I didn't mean it like that. If he is actually taking what his Dr prescribes, its not going to turn him into Overeem like some people act is all I was trying to illustrate. It kind of sucks when stuff like this happened, because some fans will never acknowledge that sometimes people fight when they shouldn't, they only look at the W/L column, but there is so much pressure on them to fight.

That said I still think Rampage partially tore his left "Idontreallygivea****" 3 years ago.

It's called private message for a reason. And no one here really cares, so why are you still posting about it?

Do you have any idea how common is "legit" TRT? As in how common is it for people to actually need it without prior steroid-abuse?
Seems like a disproportionately large % of fighters need it.

So is him taking TRT legit or is he gonna get punished like Chaael or Marquart

Probably any fighter over like 30 could get it, to bring their T-levels back to their early to mid 20's.

He did it legit. He got a doctors prescription and he didn't go over his allowed amount.

does anyone know if this standard an any other sport or is this just done in mma ?


edit // seems like its not allowed in any sport , so its kind of baffling that its allowed in mma .

Also can someone let me know how legally Zuffa broke the strikeforce contracts to bring guys over. Wouldnt this breach their contract with UFC? Its def a big conflict of interest

To took your personal crap to everyone...if you want to comment publicly...stands to reason folk should be allowed to comment on it.

It isn't on Frankenberry or anyone else if you don't get the reaction you wanted. What was that anyway by the by?



TRT to get in normal range should be a non-issue imo.

Yea basically to get on "legit" with the UFC you have to go through THEIR doctors, which is of course a lot tougher then a random doctor. I am pretty sure they make you do blood tests to make sure you aren't blasting as well. See Chael got in trouble because he didn't go through the UFC, and Nate got in trouble because his levels were to high, so they told him have them under next week or you are not fighting, and he just ignored them and blasted it anyways, at least this is what I figured.

Interestingly, there is a huge debate on the UG about how Rampage could possibly need it. 33 is pretty young, and unless he has used in the past he shouldn't need it some say. Well another common way to damage your test production is damage to the pituitary gland.



So now people who refuse to accept this say "Well Rampage has never taken that kind of punishment" or "A simple punch or kick couldn't not cause that kind of trauma". Yes people actually are saying this. So I just posted Wandy Kneeing Rampage out cold and asked "You are saying there is zero chance this did not cause lasting damage to his brain?"

The idea that shots like he has taken are not to the level of "extremely serious" would be laughable. Happily there are therapies available from Dr Amen and others that can minimize the damage. But, to think it won't hurt your brain is like thinking you can repeatedly football spike your laptop and thinking it should work the same when you are done.


Only the laptop in your noggin processes a petabyte of information per millimeter, we are not even close to understanding how it works.

Pretty much.

BTW I think unless they are testing these guys in their camps every other week to make sure they arent blasting test like on a normal steroid cycle, TRT is a giant loophole scam.

Yeah that's what I'm saying. Plus I'm sure these dudes can use HGH to rehab injuries. Hard to believe everybody doesn't take advantage.

I'm talking to one person who came after me first, in this same running thread. Not everyone is about appearance and reaction. I'm not here to prove anything to anybody. I like MMA and discussions and reading the things most of you guys write. If people **** with me I will continue this type of exercise, and I'll continue enjoying it. You're right that Chocula can fairly express his opinion though, my bad Count
