Um where did you hear this? Chael did not get in trouble because of the UFC, it had nothing to do with the UFC. Chael got in trouble because him and his doctor didn't file the proper paperwork in order to use TRT with the SAC. UFC had nothing to do with it afaik.

Nate got in trouble because he was blasting them and timed his cycle wrong, and when you're approved for TRT they check your levels before the fight. So because his cycle was timed wrong, when the fight came up he was honest and told the SAC & UFC that he was going to test above allowed levels. Don't think you can just stop blasting for a week and they go to normal...

Pretty sure the UFC has nothing to do with any of it. It's all the SAC.
There is some stuff out there about serious weight cutting messing with your T-levels. Also Rampage probably doesn't need it, but since the TRT guidelines state if you're under X amount of testosterone, of which X = levels of a healthy 25 year old male, then you can supplement with TRT until those levels are reached.

So Rampage probably has regular T-levels for a 33 year old male, but since they're not as high as those of a 25 year old male, he can supplement. Remember Duffee is built like a super hero, pretty darn young and he has been approved and using TRT for awhile

All fighters should be on TRT imo.

There is a quote I've seen a lot that's pretty awesome. " I think steroids should be mandatory for all fighters, because I want to see the best fights science can provide. "

Not verbatim, but same gist.

I think we need to start an online petition to get BJ out of retirement and on some serious TRT

everyone here seems like a rational, well-adjusted adult. I'm proud of how we were all able to handle this maturely.



MMA: I wonder if there's a point of diminishing returns for smaller fighters being more active/exciting. Will the 125 be even faster/crazier than 135/145 or will they actually be a bit slower?

You are mostly correct, but you still have to be cleared with a UFC doctor to get on TRT, Chael not only didn't file the paperwork correctly, he also just showed up like "hey I am on TRT btw, here is my doctor who said its cool" and that is also a no no. UFC has to ok people to go on it, but yea the trouble came first with the NSAC and the filing issues.

As far as Nate goes, test levels go down rather quick. You can detect that someone has injected synthetic test or other steroids for months even, but the actual levels of testosterone peak about 3-4 days after the shot, and go down from there, that's why you inject weekly. He could of got them under control no problem as far as I know, he just decided not to.

Forgot about the weight cutting but I heard about that as well, and it makes sense, **** causes havoc on the body. If I had to guess Rampages test levels were just a bit below average for a 33 year old. If he is doing it as legit as he claims it wont be nothing major, but if he gets his motivation back I will be happy.

Still wanna know where you heard that UFC doctors have to approve you for TRT. Because the UFC controlling who gets TRT and who doesn't seems like it'd be walking a fine like with corruption and I highly doubt it's true. Not to mention word of the UFC approving fighters for PEDS would get a lot of bad publicity... ESPN would be all over that. It's a SAC thing.

Dana just commented on it recently. He says they test new fighters to make sure they aren't on PEDs, but nothing about their doctors having to approve fighters.

The real question is when are / if are they going to have actual weight classes instead of a hand full of people are 125 and 135

Well the two 125ers we know are super fast & crazy in mighty mouse & benevidez.

Also in general the boxers at 125 on average are faster than those at 135. Though, you need more muscle mass to be competitive in MMA than in boxing. But yea all signs point to them being faster & crazier. Watched a couple fly weight fights ( one including Mccall. ) They were AWESOME.

alves gonna dust kampmann.

Tate Rousey should be interesting. I'll have to rewatch it sunday because i'll be masturbating furiously during the live broadcast.

so is rampage gonna get punished for the piledriver or what

Someone take me on for Alves-Kampmann avatar bet? I'm on Alves.

If you made me bet I would pick Alves, but I will take Kampmann for fun. 2 weeks?

**** no, this is serious ****. 1 month or bust.

hmmm. Fine 1 month. Book it.

Good. Your avatar has been tilting me, it's not ****ing christmas anymore.

AJ, wes: Please keep your e-fight between yourselves unless you agree to fight each other, in which case we can discuss it again here. I have left the message w/ the PMs up for now because I think it's funny - wes, PM me if you'd like it taken down.

Take that bet chief


Retail industry must have really picked up in the last 8 months eh?


Was that really your angry rationalization for my wild success? He must be cheating!? Probably just cheated at them internet pokers too ay? That’s awesome. Life must be rough when everyone else in the world is an idiot and immoral but you

I was 15 when I first moved to MA. I got a feeling memory, reasoning, other subsets of brain function are not your specialty


Me being an “elitist prick” and “making a comment about me being a god to woman in relation to the guy on TUF”:




This coward comes in and personally attacks me and calls me a bigot, literally for not wanting to roll around on the ground with homosexuals.

Because his belief system is simply right and mine is wrong. Because I’m ignorant and him worldly, and I’m an “idiot” and him intelligent, and that’s the way the world works for Wesrwood. And because that’s the way **** is, you “were not going to stand quiet about it” and had to “put me in my place”.

Wes, I’m betting that you don’t have a wife, apologies to her if you do for the increased beating as you work this realization through your brain, but it’s you who is the elitist

That makes you a hypocrite, as well as a liar and failure. Plus you’re slandering a person’s identity and claiming you know them and want to fight them, all the while hiding behind the guise of anonyminity, so that makes you a coward too



Got me. Guess I should have told all of those photographers chronicling me at the international poker tournaments I was winning hundreds of thousands of dollars in to **** off. Presumably you do the same at your retail office?


Sometimes you have to push aside the little memories to make way for new ones

Just because you've shuffled cards in the same room as me or shared a few sentences doesn't mean you know me. If you aren’t one of the handful of Tjs guys those 10 years ago who I still know personally, I wouldn’t even be able to put a name to your face. So no, I don’t know who you are and I didn’t need to. It doesn’t matter who you are. You are a generic hard headed man, you believe the things a generic hard headed man in your demographic believes and you think and act in a predictable fashion of such a man. Momma never told her little boy that Mr. Rogers was lying, did she?

Before I read your post insulting me, I didn’t even know you existed. I saw you call me ugly and I laughed man. Then I cracked a brew and took a hot bath, after which I finished the brew while I skimmed your posts for 90 seconds and decided how to make you sad. You don’t matter to me. Your opinions don’t matter. I’m loving this. I **** on you, and that ****, which is now on you, possesses more potential in the planet’s betterment than you ever will. One could say that you are beneath my ****.

Now I’m going to the gym. Afterwards I’ll drink beer and go to the hot tub. I’ll probably read and ya know, might even masturbate. Since you’ve apparently met me, you can probably imagine what that looks like. I leave you with that.

So are we getting into the cage?

I'm done talking about you because you live in your own delusional world.
But if you want to get in the cage we can set it up.

what do you guys think?

come at me bro

I think Visions of Johanna is bob dylan's real nuts.

rampage is awesome because he is about the only person who just tells it like it is

I have enough real estate for 2 avatars.

I can do 80x40 for 2 people, 2 months each.

So to change the subject anyone have experience training at one gym then moving and starting over at a new one?

uh no? Kinda late for that. Though I do think a point should have been deducted
