ice the reebok deal, do regular free fight pass weekends with a view to renegotiating broadcast deals to allow online simultaneous broadcast when renegotiated, cancel tuf and replace it with a weekly wec style show with a smaller cage, coordinated campaign to tarnish randy couture's false image and legacy

the idea of "fixing" the ufc is really weird since the product seems good to me except for the regularity of fairly weak cards which you're under no obligation to buy or watch

i feel like shogun did far better in the ufc than he had any right to seeing as he was so thoroughly broken that he almost lost to coleman. he may be a slightly depressing footnote in conversations about the best 205er ever but he hung around scoring massive knockouts periodically way past his horribly early sell by date.

DumbWhiteGuy posted:Also speaking of fighters that are lucky that USADA wasn't a factor at the time, Randy Couture randy's such a businessman that when he was mainlining test and it was an open secret he said that he was actually getting his levels monitored frequently because his special Xtreme Couture line of supplements was raising them

david carmichael posted:The T/E argument makes no real sense. His test levels were in the middle range of normal, but his epi levels were berserk. So the lab performed CIR to see if there was synthetic test in his samples and there wasn't. the thing about the t:e test is that it doesn't actually directly measure testosterone or epitestosterone but a glucorindated metabolite, there are very few enzymes that catalyse that reaction and the main one can be inhibited by incredibly simple means (as in like, tea extracts and nsaids), as well as there being extremely common gene variants that basically make the test useless. also people have been beating the carbon isotope ratio test for years by basically buying the 13 carbon reference standard testosterone made for labs to run drug tests and mixing it with the soy derived stuff to get the right balance. wada's developing a test for that so some gold medals might change in a few years.

btw if anybody wants to read the wada technical documents so you can try to figure out loopholes in the tests from your sa-mart steroids, pills, powders etc here's the master list https://wada-main-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/resources/files/wada-td2016-index-v2.0.pdf just google the document numbers and knock yaselves out

david carmichael posted:But also almost everyday does the exact same things no matter who they are fighting and what their gameplan is. It's very rare that someone adds a new wrinkle to their game effectively for just one opponent, and even more rare when someone abandons their usual habits and finds success. remember the time juanito ibarra spent a whole camp with rampage trying to bring his jab up a few inches because forrest griffin is tall, then he almost got leg kick tko'd and lost a 10-8 by getting mounted for one whole hour in a single five minute round

admittedly last time i went to a bisping headlined card it was a long time ago, there wasn't a belt on the line, and it was against leben, but that was a smaller arena in birmingham and they curtained off a whole half of the arena and it still didn't sell out. i'm sure they can make the card "sell out" but i imagine they might be a little lenient on prices and seating because the main event is gonna be at like 6am

rda is a big shredded lightweight and eddie alvarez came in bigger and shreddeder and also made a public appeal on sherdog radio for anyone who could tell him why the day after his first few fights at 155 his ankles swelled up like his pregnant wife from cutting so much weight

there's been so many repeated highs, lows, weird twists, and funny stories in overeem's career that he's probably been the single best guy to be a fan of

purely in terms of skillset and physical attributes overeem is probably the best heavyweight to ever live and yet i was 100% convinced he was going to lose to todd duffee. that's special in a way that no accolades or championships will ever convey.

i thought it was scummy when dana was trying to get chuck/wanderlei together and went to the press saying wanderlei was scared to strongarm him into signing the bout agreement, but i have no issue with trying to force a guy who's been champion for a couple of weeks to fight the guy he's supposed to fight instead of his own personal mindgarden fights
