UFC 230: Cormier vs. Lewis

Nate doesn't even know how to spell pressuring. 

@Zuli I've been at point '**** it, let them do whatever they want' for a while now. USADA and other testing is almost utterly ineffective. Holly Holm has never popped and she's bigger and more straited in her thirties then she was in her 20's as a pro boxer. She has a ****oris like dr zoidberg has a face.

Yoel Romero is 41 years old and is more shredded than he ever was as pro wrestler. I pointedly refuse to believe he's clean, he just hasn't been busted. The **** is so good now that it's untestable after 8 hours.


All that happens in real terms is the best juicers never get busted and the guys who fight clean and legitimately take tainted supplements unwittingly end up on the hook. The Pareto distribution comes into play too; the more money a fighter has, the more likely they are to get away with it. So the parent promotion wins most of the time by virtue of this alone. And If a big star does pop, they cut a backroom deal to make sure they aren't egregiously out of pocket and get a return on their investment, and USADA goes for it because they are addicted to that WME skrilla.

 It's a species of corruption. Jones get a slap on the wrist despite being a multiple PED offender and Diaz gets shafted for four ******* years for smoking some hippy lettuce ( and if that's a PED i'm a ******* Lemur--when eating doritos and playing xbox becomes a pro sport, it might become an issue then I suppose).

The whole thing is a dog and pony show. Qui bono? Not the fans. Not the fighters. Just USADA and the UFC who get to mitigate the damage of 'accidents' because their pet testing agency is on the take.

**** it off, I say.

The thing is, it is already a freakshow of PEDS. People like Romero and Holm are chemical abominations. Prizefighting is basically predicated on PED use as are virtually all competitive sports. The vast majority, possibly all, of fighters are using something. Evander Holyfield has admitted to using steroids and is adamant that Tyson abused the **** out of them too. Canelo popped in the not too distant past. Cycling, baseball, football, pro wrestling...it's everywhere. Why should MMA be different?

The elephant in the room is thus: PEDS make prizefighting, and all sports, more entertaining. They make for better fights. It is what it is.

JJ knows she can't beat Shcevchenko so she's thought of a ******** reason to pull. She's never been able to beat Val.. Lost to her three times already.

Also, this is a squash match that I don't care about at all. Talk about a guppy feed. 125 isn't even a puddle, it's condensation on a windshield. Even the women's 145 division is deeper.

Prize-Fighting is predicated around savages who enjoy hurting other human-beings. Jack Johnson, Jack Dempsey, Suga Ray Robinson, Jake LaMotta, never took anything. Fook outta here with that nonsense. You have no idea what you're talking about. Again. 

Nunes didn't even beat Shevchenko. No woman in the UFC has beat Shevchenko. Probably never will either. 

Val should be minus 10000 in this really. Short of some kind of freak injury I have no idea how she loses.
