Apparently a few years back one of those TV programs that show celebrity homes did one at Anderson Silva's house.In one of his wardrobes syringes were seen quite clearly in the background.I don't think Silva is a diabetic.

 

[Special K]

I haven't followed the story closely as I've been busy. Has anything came out about how he failed? Surely after years fighting he must know what will pass and what won't. What gives?

 

[The Cobra]

Tested positive to 3 different PED's.

 

[Fufu Andronez]

A 39 year old man who suffered a jharal yow yeh type injury recovers in 1 year and is back to full strength and able to kick with full force with the same leg. Highly unlikely the recovery could be au natural.

Definitely the injury and recovery meds has something to do with it IMO. Can't see him getting on the roids to muscle up as that is not his body type or fighting style. Either way, injury or not it's still illegal.

Still my all time favourite.

And now Hector Lombard has been done for roids.



I wonder who actually isn't on the stuff...

the upside is that this should start seeing a lot cleaner sport in future, they'll lose viewers, but not hardcare fans. i'll keep watching. it's just unfortunate that there's so many big names on the sidelines right now too....weidman, valasquez, nurmagomedov, lawler etc... the next big fight to get pumped about would have to be rumble v bones, and that might not be for up to 6 months. (unless you call mcgregor a challenge to aldo )

 

[Fufu Andronez]

Hector too.

where is this heading

 

[Mateo Moi Moi]

I was gutted to hear about Lombard. I was looking forward to seeing him versus Rory. Who knows, even could have got himself a title show. Now, who knows.

Still plenty of good UFC action and quality fighters. Definitely prefer a clean sport to watch, weed out all the cheats.

There are some good fights coming up to be excited about. I am keen to see Henderson at 170 v hot young prospect in Thatch.

Nelson v Reem, Hendricks v Brown and Pettis v Dos Anjos at 185 will probably be the next PPV I bother getting.

 

[Fufu Andronez]

Nelson vs Reem has me worried tbh

thatch isn't a prospect, he's been on a winning tear only held back by some injuries, personally i favour him over hendo at 170, who ironically most have doubts about with peds too.

funny you named over-roid in your list of fights dos anjos i think got pulled, dos anjos injured? yeah immortal vs rigg will be good to watch, assuming hendricks has gotten over the mental issues of his weight.

 

[Mateo Moi Moi]

I guess I called Thatch a "prospect" only being two fights into his UFC career. Hendo will be a good test for him but I love the way Thatch fights. Excitement plus!

Didn't hear anything about Dos Anjos, my bad.

 

[Craig Johnston]

Uriah faber v frankie Edgar....like!!

DC v darth bader...- rebound gimme for dc

Romero vs jacare - won't go ahead due to peds but jacare if it does

Well kudos to bendo for taking out a much bigger guy, but seriously what the f**k was with all the respect hatch was giving his opponent? Led to his downfall imo

I hadn't seen Thatch before, so I'm guessing he usually attacks a lot more. Had Bendo on the back foot for the whole of Rds 1&2 and did nothing with it. First time I've seen Bendo look smaller than his opponent as well.

Not sure calling out Rory Mac is what Bendo needs next either.

all he said was he thought macdonald was missing a dance partner (post lombard's 1 year hiatus), dana white has since declared rory already has another dance partner....dadada.......

how the f**k does raderaide score another marquee event?
