I think fighters are paid fairly. Its not your typical job.

They aren't forced to sign these contracts

I say this, I doubt TJ is clean in this fight,  he might be taken less stuff, but I think he’s been on steroids he’s whole career, and he’s not losing a step agaist Sandhagen was a bit sus if you ask me

But I think a lot of fighters are on ****, I just think they smart enough to not get caught

Wait him looking good in the sandhagen fight was sus? I’m confused by what you mean there. TJ is just a skilled fighter as it is, steroids help you but you need skill as well. Look at all the juiceheads in the ufc who are terrible. TJ is a great fighter but just uses roids to cheat

TJ definitely lost a step against Cory. He didn't look as fluid with his striking and he seemed to be a little less snappy than usual in how he was moving.

That said, I think he can fight off the rust fully, he should finish off Aljo here.

I kinda want to give Sterling the benefit of the doubt because he doesn’t have a lot of power and can’t fight 25 minute hard, i fell like someone who on roids would have that 

I think Sterling would have some of the weaker hands in the UFC

Irene Aldana vs Macy Chiasson
Irene Aldana TKO R1
Too easy for Irene, I learned to not doubt her when she absolutely destroyed Kunitskya. Macy is actually worse than Yana imo. Banking on either missing weight but hopefully not. If Irene loses and fights Dumont then it all comes full circle with the weight missing women of the 135/145 division

Prediction Comments

Predictions: 0 of 1 Winners, 0 Perfect, 0 Points   |   Tied for 4885th

Sterling vs. Dillashaw
Aljamain Sterling, DEC
Tough fight by objective standards, but Sterling has advantages that outweigh Dillashaw. Sterling;s advantages are his creative abilities in terms of transitioning striking to grappling, more recent high level experience, slickness in the grappling department, strength, kicks, and volume. TJ finds a way to win however, and that was evident in his sloppy performance against Sandhagen. He looked slow, weak, sloppy, but he timed things right and put everything together when he needed to in order to eek a decision. He also has better striking and WRESTLING ability. I don’t know how to lean, just think Sterling will mix things up better with kicks and awkward submission standing attempts that turn into takedowns and will edge this out.

Aldana vs. Chiasson
Macy Chiasson, DEC
Hmm not sure. Macy is very strong, long and lanky and she knows how to use it. She’s improving and is comfortable with sticking to the game plan with her teep kicks down the middle and crosses. Irene is a fine fundamental boxer with nothing to write home about speed and exceptional power. I can see Macy being a bit too much over 3 rounds, not necessarily dominating but landing two or three kicks for every small punch by Aldana.
