Etch.
Disheartening to see all the support for a steroid user who makes jokes about people's family.

Dude's scum.

One persons steroids is another persons Testosterone replacement therapy...Henderson has the same thing going on but doesnt get busted because he has all the paperwork in and accepted.

It's been said weed relaxes ur body, ur muscles. With testorene (elevated amts) it makes u more aggressive and u feel more confident. Steroids as a whole helps u make bigger quicker muscles. Personally if I cheated with anything I'd pick HGH.

I'm cheering for Chael personally, big Silva fan but I've always enjoyed watching Chael fight. His trolling has certainly gotten under a lot of peoples skin but if you watch the interviews where he's being straight up and honest he's quite intelligent and has a healthy respect for everyone but Anderson Silva, and makes positive comments about Brazil (saying the US could learn from Brazilian economics) Not to mention if you watch the interview after the Okami fight he says that he trolls to promote fights and instantly befriended him after that beatdown. Hell he's humble when talking about most of the people he's fighting. Stann, Bisping, and even Nate the Great (saying when they trained Nate constantly took him down)

I also want to point out that Chael, out of probably any MMA fighter out there has been the nicest to the fans. Before the TRT incident his cell phone number was leaked online and instead of changing his number he actually ANSWERED calls from fans and if he missed the number he would literally CALL fans back or send a text. How many fighters do you know would actually do that?

Hell even the jokes he made about BJJ were just trolling, the man was in Black Belt magazine demonstrating omoplatas. If you take Chael for what he is, a good fighter with deadpan humor than it's easy to be a fan.

Don't forget that revisionist history has changed the average perception of the first fight. NOBODY gave Chael a shot but the man was shouting at Anderson Silva to hurry to get in the cage and fight him. In what was to be one of the greatest fights in the history of MMA (when seen from an unbiased eye, especially considering the epic finish and the underdog angle) we saw Chael landing an ungodly amount of strikes, sakuraba slaps, and even a backflip as a defense to a kick catch.

Lets face it, Chael or Anderson hate aside, it was an INCREDIBLE fight, Anderson showed he is the champion with the come from behind triangle but to take away from Chael based on his attitude is one of the silliest things you can do.

And to the Gracie student who seems to believe that TRT prescribed by a doctor to treat hypogonadism (which you acknowledge as a fact by your insults about his balls) I seem to remember Royce Gracie using ANABOLIC steroids. Which is a true steroid unlike TRT.

I'm a fan of both Anderson Silva and Chael, the funny thing is. Both can be considered disrespectful. Anderson has been disrespectful against his opponents inside the cage and Chael has been disrespectful leading up to fights. Wouldn't one argue that disrespecting your opponent in the cage is a wee bit worse than making jokes about feeding carrots to a bus?

I can agree with what you say about shit talking.
Though I think it's certainly less respectful outside of the cage.
Inside of it, you've got to instantly back it up.
For some peoples it's a good tactic, like for the Diaz brothers.

Outside the cage to, psych your opponent out before the fight even starts.

But for me, the buck stops at family.
Once you insult someone's family, you cross a line.

Who are you referring to?
I'm the only one with Gracie anything as their school, and I never made a joke about his balls.

And as a huge Sakuraba fan, I was not happy the decision wasn't turned over after it was discovered Royce took steroids.
