OT: General UFC/MMA/Boxing - Round XII

  • We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.

    What This Means for You:

    • If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
    • If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
    • Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
    • Our 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress

    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

Black beast was just manhandled by the polar bear, its insane to see Derek Lewis get dominated like that.
 
I met Chuck Lidell recently. Really nice guy. The Ice Man was a bad ass once upon a time
 
What's laughable is still holding on to this silly idea that PEDs magically turn you into some superhero.
At the very top level of strength or combat sports they sort of do.

If you look at any sport that allows doping, at the top level you'll never have a chance to compete if you're not on what the rest of the pack is on.

To everyone here who always contradicted me...There is no more debate. Jon Jones is unquestionable the GOAT.
3 years off, jumps a weight class, beats the champ in like 2 min...and obviously it has to be in an unconventional submission. G.O.A.T
I don't think there was ever a question. I would venture to say that Jones is probably in the same ranks as MJ in terms of dominance of his sport.

He's just a level above everyone, he's the perfect physical specimen and his instincts are just naturally exceptional.

No, they don't. PEDs do not make you grapple more, they don't bring you innovation, they don't improve striking, they don't give you the ability to beat a world class athlete in about 2 min.
This is just miseducation towards PEDs, and also shows a level of ignorance towards the skill being displayed.

I was one of those people. I’ll eat my crow. He made it look easy.

Agreed. To dispose of Gane in the manner he did was incredibly impressive.

3 years back, jumps a weight class, and submits Gane like this...damn.

PEDs improve your training, improve your recovery times, make you more powerful in the clinch, more difficult to grapple, help you to strike harder, etc...

No one's saying PEDs magically make you an elite fighter, but if you take 2 world class fighters and allow 1 to train with them and the other can't then that makes a world of difference.
