His name would have popped up and reported by USADA by now if he failed a test, so there is my proof. :P

Old Rogan is the worst Rogan. Fear Factor Rogan would've french-kissed Rocha and done a Shoey with Tai.

Tuivasa needs to spar someone other than Hunt. You can tell he is just a fish out of water trying to fight experienced outside strikers. Short guys he will murder, which is why he was able to put away asker and coulter with ease and struggled against arlovski.

And so begins the fight to decide Cyborg's next victim.  Whoever wins is the true loser as they are going to lose 5 years off their life when they face Cyborg.

Asker is 6'2 and McSweeney is 6'4. You tried though. The guy who KO'd Tai, Lazaar, is 6'0. Due-Diligence.

Megan has broken the orbital bones of her last 4 opponents. At 6 feet tall, she might straight beast 5'8 Holly Holm.

With that said, she gets hit and rocked a lot. Even in her wins. That doesn't bode well against Holly. 

I didn't know who to pick in this ****.

Arlovski is a living legend, and has some of the best striking at Heavyweight. I thought he won that fight. Hope to see him again soon!

@Massa scored that one right..even though he underestimates the chain wrestling on Gregor...he gets why Tui clearly earned that W. 

Amazed with the real Pittbull though. Love the guy n

Say what you want, Holly is one of the most famous mma fighters there is. All off of one win. The rest of her career in wmma has been up and down. Would enjoy a fight between holly and amanda.
