Prediction: Sonnen  |  Submission  |  Round 2

Fun FACT. Wanderlei Silva has never tested positive for steroids, and he doesn't use TRT. Fights on heart and will, not steroids/TRT. 


Fun FACT Pride FC's drug testing policy was notoriously nonexistent. If you honestly don't think Wandy was using during his time in Pride I know there's nothing I can say that's going to change your mind.





Edit: Also, if Chael has to retire due to the TRT ban, tough **** for Chael. I'm a big fan of his, but that doesn't mean he should receive special rules or treatment. If he can't hack it without TRT he'll have a bright future as an analyst, commentator, professional wrestler, politician, or whatever he decides to do because he's smart, witty, and has a winning personality.

@flying Chael has never tested positive for any illegal substance (ie steroids)

You could say the same for every athlete who competed in Pride FC, in the end it doesn't matter because the point I was trying to make is that steroids exist in any sport and most athletes use them or have in a lot of sports, especially pro-wrestling. 

I don't think UFC had the greatest drug testing in the beginning anyway, for a long time especially in the dark ages there wasn't much drug testing going on.

Yeah, it's called an entertainment sport. You didn't realize this?

Honestly, I wouldn't be upset if the UFC started allowing all PEDs. It's still a level playing field if everyone is allowed to use them.

Prediction: Sonnen  |  KO/TKO  |  Round 3


Yeah if you look at it that way, however it also causes hyper-gonadism. A fighter shouldn't be forced to reduce the size of his testicles to compete.

Sonnen could stage a workplace accident at his pizzeria where his testicles get caught in the dough kneader, then they would HAVE to let him take testosterone. There are always workarounds in life, it just depends how dedicated you are.

chael sonnen ‏@sonnench Mar 21

Hey doofus, paper. Pen. Sign. If they put your brain in a bird, it would fly upside down.9 days to sign or I release those.. Well, you know.

chael sonnen ‏@sonnench 9h

8 days left. Still no signature.

chael sonnen ‏@sonnench Mar 17

Why won't he sign? What else is he going to do? Go play tennis? That's out. He's got a racket but has no balls.
