Most fighters turn out to eventually have been bad the entire time. A major exception is gsp, who around 2010 turned out to actually have been gay the entire time.

As of, I believe, July 1st, all fighters under UFC contract are getting random tests year-round.

Separate from that is the testing that Athletic Commissions do in the leadup to the fight, and immediately before and after. That's not handled by the UFC or the USADA, but by the individual athletic commissions involved. When they're in countries that don't have athletic commissions the UFC handles that, but as of last year Brazil does have an athletic commission which does that kind of testing (usually quite badly).


Lmao thinking about Brazil's athletic commission considering how amateur Nevada's is after however many decades it's been around. Seriously Court TV is more professional.

Has Brazil's "commission" even caught anybody cheating?

Ronda's success is obviously largely down to her hard work, but it's massively amplified by the fact that she's a world class, lifelong full-time athlete in a division filled with LARPers. It's like Tyson turning up at a suburban white-collar boxing gym.

So true. There are other "athletes" in the division I guess, but Judo is one of very few women's sports that actually has decent participation levels on a worldwide basis, so they have a chance to catch some athletic gems.

Wrestling sure as poo poo doesn't.

There are so few women even training MMA or BJJ that it's pure chance if they turn up a decent athlete.

Just look at Ronda's own taking partners.

It depends kind of heavily on footage of padwork, but that's to be expected since she's spent less than three minutes in the cage since 2013.

Ronda's judo is goddamn artwork, especially against opponents that have absolutely no idea how to control their momentum

Give that woman a chance to use your body's momentum against you, and you might as well tap right then and there.

The judo club I trained at years ago had a former Canadian Olympian as one of the black belt instructors and on one of my first nights there I sparred with her. Despite outweighing her by at least 60 pounds, she absolutely tooled up on me. Just rear end-over-tea-kettle over and over again, and it was all using my weight and momentum against me in the most efficient way possible. Just smooth as hell.

And you might think it would be fun to roll with a girl, but when she's on the verge of breaking your arm or choking you out every 10 seconds or so, all the sexytime thoughts go out the goddamned window. No fun at all.

I assume it's over now, but it's getting mentioned in nearly every card. Thanks and God bless.

He's a former fighter, so the UFC affiliation was already there, and did some UFC-branded fitness stuff which may have been around the period you're watching now so there was a lot of co-promotion.

although I'm not sure 'idiot' is the right term; if you can pay someone to fix all your meals for you that's one thing less to worry about when training for a fight. I think fatherdog or someone wrote a bit about this and decision fatigue.

From the UFC's point of view fighters missing weight is a Bad Thing, so they probably consider it handy to have a guy they can point people at to get help if they need it.

Thank you both. The background is helpful, it just seemed like a lot of hyperbole like "well, as you know he's now working with Mike Dolce so he's probably going to win this fight without stepping in the ring but just cardio for days and OH HE GOT ROCKED HE'S OUT"
