I've been swept by guys that are weaker then me, you being a brown belt should know that strength isn't everything.

True but, A gorilla strong wrestler, getting swept with a over the shoulder toss by a Jits player, Abou Dahbi champ or not, For a wrestler of "sonnens caliber". That had to be a "rude awakening".

I'm the head instructor, small school but growing, And every new person says I'm the only one teaching Traditional & 10th planet Mixed, Cool, I guess no one else is interested in 10th planet they seem to be against it. And yes we have a Nogueira offiliate, not the actual nogueira's in Tulsa, Daniel Valverde was the instructor there but he went back to Florida. Good school either way, but kind of expensive, and no 10th planet.

Rogan says Marquardt is next in line. I don't want to see that shit.

Marquart vs Okami would be lovely and give Vitor the shot honestly i was thinking if Silva got passed Sonnen a second time he should retire now i dont know.

Nate Marquardt deserves the title shot. He did really well at fight night last week and there's not really another middleweight stand out that comes to mind that deserves a title shot

haha! Right, right, I forgot.. :)

Steroid use is more valuable in MMA as a training tool anyways. Due to the faster recovery and healing time you can jam 10 years of mat time in 3 years of training. The only reason guys are getting caught is because they are not cycling off of the stuff correctly so I doubt that anything was actually used in any true "performance enhancing" capacity at the time of the fight. How do you think these guys are keeping their bodies together training 5-8 hours a day for 5 or more days a week? How do you think fighters are developing severe tendon injuries that you'd usually see on a veteran kick boxer within 4 years of training? How are dude's making it into the TUF house with only 3 years of MMA training and not looking like noobs in the cage?

So I think it's all kind of nonsense. I mean technically it's only cheating to be using PEDs within the sanctioned time range building up to the fight but even off of the PEDs you can't erase someone's mat time that they exploited with the aid of PEDs. Unless they want to test active and inactive fighters year around there's really no functional point to any of this.

Fucking shame. It was a great fight and now its tainted. Even IF he's innocent he'll be remembered as a roider ala Sean Sherk. Watch out for ball cancer Chael! Or maybe it wasn't him. Maybe it was some hispanic fella
