Isn't moonface and steroid jaw a thing? Usually Rumble has inwards cheeks, but in the Gus fight he looked like Dizzy Gillespie. Now after USADA, he looks like his old tale of the tape pics again.

Anything that messes with your fluid retention and cortisol can do that.

But never underestimate Rumble's ability to be a plain and simple fat piece of poo poo.

Anderson is one of my main men, but Chael was Gastelum's coach and is taking a page directly from his coaches' playbook. "Shoot for the title or shoot for the easiest, highest paying fight possible."

That "Legend's rear end Whoopin' Tour" Gastelum mentioned was lifted directly from Chael in a cool way.

Chael is completely self aware and pretty well thought. I heartily enjoy his product. Now let me tell you about True Car and underwear.

I'm sure he'll eventually define why but him leaving the UFC is still baffling to me. Dude is loyal.

Does Silva even make it past the first minute?

Yes. It's an interesting fight because even the ghost of Anderson has the ability to kill aggressive styles. Gastelum doesn't seem much for boring fights. It will be cool.

Fanboyism aside, I feel like it's a true pick 'em fight. Ghost Silva is still scary in flashes and Gastelum is hyper aggressive.

Or Silva could do his party trick if Gastelum is willing and make it an unwatchable nothing.

Aggression does not mean easily countered these days.

True, but is anyone laser precise like Anderson outside of childweights?

Hey new folk, after Anderson had two or three lovely-ish fights he went on a punishment trip to 205. Watch him loving kill James Irvin and Forrest Griffin. You will not be disappointed.

I have a question posed by my Pops that I couldn't answer. What is the difference between USADA regulations (fighting, fencing, boxing, Olympics) and the testing that applies to major pro American sports (Football, basketball, baseball) ?

CommonShore posted:

To expand on Bluedeanie's point, in major pro American sports they basically hand you a calendar with "bring us a cup of pee" written on it in 16-week intervals. In other words, it's not real testing.

Perfect. My Pops was wondering why Tom Brady couldn't roid into a million year old football scarab. Looks like the answer is, "He and everyone else is sure trying."
