He is not even that big everyone now days thinks they are some kind of MMA person. Until they go out on the street and get their azz handed to them. Sheesh we need a fight section I guess. MM:spam:
Cheat Sonnen. Tim Sylvia. Josh Barnett. No MMA guy is a household name. Over 50% of Canadians don't know who Georges St. Pierre is. So are you saying that the AC's are being bought? If so, please explain the shitty judges and Steve Mazzagatti.
True that but i suppose some of the big names get a "heads up" if ya know what I mean. I competed in drug free organizations even set a world record in one held it for 6 yearsand I was juiced to the max. Somehow I passed....Been piss tested, polygraph(if ya can believe that shit) and somehow always passed. Didnt hurt that I was sponsored by the largest PL supplier either. If they wanna nail ya they will. Look- we all know these guys juce. In NFL atleast half. They make an example outta some poor guy with a big name in respective sport here and there to seem on top of things. Its all corrupt. $$$$
So Brock, Kimbo and yes Carwin(yes) tested clean. Some big dudes who I would bet are not clean. Just a few of the BIG names who sell some ppv's. Again examples are made so it appears to the public at large to be "legit" (Sherk) but best believe the top guys- or top sellers (most)take banned substances. Look over time the changes Overeem has made. He clean? No way. Or that Cyborg chick? Sexy to me but a bit maculine I would guarantee that she is on. Unquestionably. They pass. The named "stars" have never failed to my knowledge off hand ad WE all know whats up. Takes one to know one. Vitor is great but not exactly a "household name."
The "heads up" is their fight date.Pre and post fight tests.They are essentially independent contractors if you will.They sign a contract for either a number of fights or certain length of time.They go off and do their own thing at their own camps with their own people then show up for scheduled fights.They have appearance clauses in their contracts which they must fulfill but aside from that the organizations don't randomly test or even have policies for that matter.They are licensed fighters just like boxing and receive all testing from state athletic commissions.They test ONLY pre and post fight.

Dam bro guess ya did your homework! lol. But...Even though they have nailed some- think of how many get away with it. You are correct they get some but we all know that Brock, Overeem, Carwin, Slice, to name a few of the big boys- have gotten away with it. You named quite a few- no doubt but think about the number of fighters in tha game around the world and your list represents a small %. As i stated- examples are always made. They must be so the sport can gain some integrity and athletic commissions sanction bouts. the list does not include appeals which some must have been overturned. I like the Adams guy- cocaine. What an idiot. Reminds me of a boxer Aaron Pryor who would put coke in his water bottle and drink between rounds. How have the heavyweights I named passed their tests when we know they on....Especially Overeem- the topic of this thread?
Given the huge change in head size, I'd say growth is a given
definetly growth is in the mix.you see in his last fight in strikeforce he still had the puffy face even tho he was ripped to the bone.when he fights in japan he is alot bigger than when he fights in the states because they dont test over in japan.
Ummm. That was a pretty gay video. Didnt see anything amazing there - 135 lb bench i think.
Can we please ban the all those that start threads like these. Its completely irrelevant and not consistent with what this board represents. Send this guy elsewhere or be prepared for a slew of similar posts.
So Brock, Kimbo and yes Carwin(yes) tested clean. Some big dudes who I would bet are not clean. Just a few of the BIG names who sell some ppv's. Again examples are made so it appears to the public at large to be "legit" (Sherk) but best believe the top guys- or top sellers (most)take banned substances. Look over time the changes Overeem has made. He clean? No way. Or that Cyborg chick? Sexy to me but a bit maculine I would guarantee that she is on. Unquestionably. They pass. The named "stars" have never failed to my knowledge off hand ad WE all know whats up. Takes one to know one. Vitor is great but not exactly a "household name."
thats a lot of information kid1dakota. Hopefully you found that info somewhere and were able to cut and paste, otherwise you have to much time on your hands. Its always interesting to look back and see what substance they were busted for. thanks for doing the leg work.
