I'm pretty sure there were a few guys here who said that it was unlikely that Alistair was juicing...

He didn't gain a ton of weight over night it was over quite a few years. I maintain a lean 230 @ ~12% bodyfat while working full time and going to school full time. If I had the desire and no school, no work unlimited gym/food and a goal to shoot for I don't doubt I could get to a lean 260+ in a year or 2 without 'help'. That doesn't mean he isn't but it's just as likely that he isn't...

I hate watching fights tape delayed, but I switched my DVR to record the Dream fights next week.

9 hours vs. 3 hours........hmmmmmmm.......


Oh, and just leaving this here to spark the debate.

Must be the horse meat....

😉


The guy definitely juiced. He avoided fighting in the US for many years and "bulked up" following 3 straight losses. Not concrete, but when there's smoke, there's fire. He went from looking like Bruce from Tekken 2 to Marduk from Tekken 5.

Also, he didn't bulk up in his late teens (i.e. fill out as an adult); he totally changed his body type in his mid 20's.

...Oh, and Reem was only granted a conditional license to fight. He tried to get a urine sample taken in Europe to apply for his NV license. Surprisingly, the NSAC said "no"! :O

In fact, the Nevada athletic commission requested a sample on November 17th. As per the NASC's rules, a sample HAD to be submitted at a reputable lab within 48 hours. Literally hours after the NSAC informed Overeem that he needed to submit a urine sample, he was on a plane to Holland!

He finally did provide a urine sample to a reputable lab in the U.S....28 DAYS after it was requested!

Like I said....where there's smoke, there's fire. But, it probably is just the horse meat!

Look at his god damn head!
 
PEDs should be legal, steroids should be OTC. etc etc. Hopefully the second sample comes clean. didn't we have a similar issue with the Lesnar fight?
 
god damn. this is going to throw everything for ufc 146 out of wack.

odds are they will bring up Mir to fight JDS (hahah poor mir)
wich leaves Cain Velasquez without a fight. witch odds are they will bring up Bigfoot. wich fucks over Roy. I wanted to see roy win one!

Mike Russow should be brought up. Dude has 4 in a row, either retiring people or putting them out of the UFC.


btw that's a joke. Maybe if he gets by Werdum, but seriously that'd surprise me.
 
Not surprised. One of those deals where I figured he was roiding, but hoping he wasn't. I don't think there will be anyone surprised by this.

Where are all the people saying he wasn't on steroids?

Sucks to be right sometimes eh?

Let us hope Barnett keeps passing from here on out. There are not enough good HWs, to be able to afford to have any suspended and/or dropped.
