Introducing Masteron

Drostanolone Propionate or Masteron is probably one of the most interesting steroids used by athletes. It is primarily for the treatment of breast cancer patients to inhibit estrogen production. Estrogen is the hormone secreted by female that gives them their distinct sexual characteristics.

He was talking about basically not doing anything before they called. He was ripped to shreds his fight before. I was real interested in seeing what kind of shape he would come in and the fuker was ripped to shreds again. I hope Dana makes an example out of him but i doubt he would.

The UFC early Saturday announced a 12-fight card in Brazil for Jan. 19, though the host city and venue are still to be determined and, the UFC said, will be announced soon. The four-fight main card is likely to air on either FX or FUEL TV.

Headlining the event will be a middleweight bout between recent light heavyweight title challenger and former middleweight title challenger Vitor Belfort (21-10 MMA, 10-6 UFC) and Michael Bisping (23-4 MMA, 13-4 UFC).

In the co-main event, C.B. Dollaway (12-4 MMA, 6-4 UFC) returns for the first time since a May win over Jason "Mayhem" Miller and takes on Daniel Sarafian (7-2 MMA, 0-0 UFC), who reached the finals of the first season of "The Ultimate Fighter: Brazil," but couldn't fight due to a training injury. He'll make his official UFC debut in front of his home country after recently getting clearance to begin training again.

Rounding out the main card is a heavyweight fight between Gabriel Gonzaga (13-6 MMA, 8-5 UFC) and Ben Rothwell (32-8 MMA, 2-2 UFC), which MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) on Friday reported, and a lightweight scrap between Thiago Tavares (17-4-1 MMA, 7-4-1 UFC) and Khabib Nurmagomedov (18-0 MMA, 2-0 UFC).

Previously reported bouts headed for the eight-fight preliminary card include Yuri Alcantara (27-4 MMA, 2-1 UFC) vs. George Roop (12-9-1 MMA, 2-5 UFC) at bantamweight; featherweights Godofredo Castro (8-1 MMA, 0-1 UFC) vs. Milton Vieira (13-7-2 MMA, 0-0-1 UFC); and Diego Nunes (18-3 MMA, 3-2 UFC) vs. Nik Lentz (24-5-2 MMA, 6-2-1 UFC) at featherweight.

In addition, the prelims will feature a middleweight bout between Andrew Craig (8-0 MMA, 2-0 UFC) and Ronny Markes (13-1 MMA, 2-0 UFC); a lightweight scrap between Edson Barboza (10-1 MMA, 4-1 UFC) and Justin Salas (10-4 MMA, 1-1 UFC); Michael Kuiper (12-1 MMA, 1-1 UFC) vs. Thiago Perpetuo (9-1-1 MMA, 1-0 UFC) at middleweight; a light heavyweight bout between Roger Hollett (13-4 MMA, 0-1 UFC) and Wagner Prado (8-1 MMA, 0-1 UFC); and Francisco Trinaldo (11-2 MMA, 1-1 UFC) vs. C.J. Keith (8-1 MMA, 0-1 UFC) at lightweight.

Kyle Kingsbury seriously considering MMA retirement after brutal fight

2

By Dave Meltzer on Nov 4, 7:00p

Kyle Kingsbury - Esther Lin, MMA Fighting

After dropping a fight to unbeaten Jimi Manuwa, his third straight loss, former TUF 8 alumnus Kyle Kingsbury said he is leaning right now toward ending his career, saying he doesn't want to be a .500 fighter
Kingsbury at this point has been able to avoid surgery for his injuries as well as fly home from the fight. With bad eye injuries post-fight, sometimes the pressure can damage the eye and it was possible he may have not been able to fly. In having to get from Birmingham, England to San Jose, Calif., that would have posed a major problem.

"The doctor told me to watch out for pressure," he said about his eye being checked after the Sept. 29 fight. "He said if I feel pressure, there could be serious complications flying. I went from England to Amsterdam first, before we came back to San Francisco for a day. That (the flight to Amsterdam) was a test, an hour long fight. It didn't feel bad at all. I knew after that hour long flight I'd be good to fly."

Right now he said the eye is feeling good, even if it isn't fully healed.

"It feels great," he said. "I've got full movement. Obviously, I still have the raccoon eyes. I've got to get checked out one more time to see if don't need surgery, so that's still pending."

Kingsbury, who was requested to trim his beard before the fight by Manuwa's camp, faced the unbeaten BAMMA light heavyweight champion who was making his UFC debut, in front of a partisan British crowd, Kingsbury was working for a submission early in the first round, but his arms got tired. He took a terrible beating late in the round, one that would have stopped the majority of fighters. However, he came back in the second and was furious when the fight was stopped at the end of the round.

"I felt in the third he was spent and I was going to get him," he said. But his opinion is different today.

"I was relieved (it was stopped) in hindsight knowing that I had the fractures," he said. "In the moment, I wanted to fight so bad. I felt the momentum shifting. I got my second wind. I got my arms back. The first part of the first round, I tried to get a submission with an anaconda, d'arce series. I was thinking, `Don't squeeze too hard.' But late in the first round, I felt like I had limp noodles (for arms) and he went to town on me."

Kingsbury was planning on becoming a fire fighter since college, but that was at the same time he started in mixed martial arts. He went to Arizona State, and was on the football team at the same time Ryan Bader, Cain Velasquezand C.B. Dollaway were on the wrestling team. Kingsbury was a good high school wrestler and knew a lot of members of the team. After college returned home to San Jose. He started training for MMA at the AKA Gym because a high school friend, Daniel Puder, was training there.

He had already gotten through written and physical exams in applying for a fire fighting job. He showed up with a black eye from fighting. He was told that if he showed up with a black eye during his probationary period, someone in the department may feel that's not the right look for a fire fighter and it could cost him his job.

"I made the decision to go to MMA for as long as it may last, and go back after to being a fireman again."

"I've got some soul searching to do, to see where I'm at mentally, emotionally and spiritually," he said. "I've got to digest the whole situation, the career, to see if it's something I want to continue to do. Thankfully I've got a six month (medical) suspension to figure it out. It's not something I have to decide right off the bat."

If he does come back, he said he wants to take enough time to improve aspects of his game before returning, citing Dan Hardy taking a long time off after his last loss and coming back a different fighter.

"People don't get into the sport to become a millionaire," he said. "You get into the UFC because you're trying to beat someone's ass. I'm 4-4 in UFC. It was never my goal to be a .500 fighter. Whatever I end up choosing, if I do end up wanting to fight again, there will be a period of time of working to improve before I can come back."

And if not, he said he'll be satisfied with his career.

"Very much so. That's a big conversation I had with my head trainer, Bob Cook," he said. "He told me, `If this ends up being your last fight, you ended with a legend in Stephan Bonnar, you ended with a guy who could have a belt in Glover Teixeira, and you ended with a great fight that ended with people on their feet in England.' I've got nothing to hang my head about. I've loved every second. Fighting has changed me as a person and made me a better person."

Kyle Kingsbury, a cast member on 'The Ultimate Fighter' (TUF) season 8, is coming off a brutal fight with Jimi Manuwa five weeks ago and strongly considering retirement from the sport. Kingsbury said he was leaning in that direction when interviewed by Ariel Helwani on The MMA Hour on Wednesday.

"I'm leaning toward not doing it again," said the American Kickboxing Academy-based fighter. "That's where I am right now. There are a number of reasons why I won't say I'm retiring. Some of that has to do with medical bills still being covered, and some of that has to do with not knowing If I'll get that itch again. I could wake up a month or two from now and be as hungry and I've ever been and think I shouldn't have opened my mouth a month ago. So there's no finite decision, but I am leaning toward not fighting again and becoming a fireman."

Kingsbury, 30, has an 11-5 record with one no contest, but has lost his last three fights to Stephan Bonnar, Glover Teixeira and Jimi Manuwa. He suffered two orbital bone fractures against Manuwa in an exciting fight that many felt was the fight of the night at UFC on FUEL TV 5. Because of his performance where he came back to win the second round after being nearly knocked out in the first and before the fight was stopped due to an eye injury while he had momentum, UFC did not release him.

"They haven't cut me and I'm very grateful for that," he said. "If I decide to stick around, it'll be in the UFC."

**Rubber Guard** · 11-05-12, 11:28 AM

I'm actually sort of looking forward to Garcia/McKenzie in an odd way. It will be fun. I hope it makes FX. Loser leaves. Cody will bring his mean face. Garcia will bring his technical boxing. it will be great.

**Vaughany** · 11-05-12, 12:02 PM

lol

**Rubber Guard** · 11-05-12, 03:13 PM

Anyone want to convince me that Costas should take this. I am a fan of the guy but I feel like I am overrating him. And probably underrating Ring because his fights are forgettable.

But they have 2 common wins in McGee and Fukuda. And last time Costas lost it was to a wrestler with solid BJJ (Catone) although it was his first UFC fight and has looked much better since then.

I think Costas has room to improve and working with Longo (striking) Serra (ground game), and having a training partner like Weidman helps a bunch.

Is the line too high? Are we not giving Ring enough of a chance?

**Vaughany** · 11-05-12, 03:17 PM

I took Costas at -200, but probably wouldnt at worse than that. I'd say it's not out of the question that Ring takes a decision in his home country if Costas doesnt full show up and land enough power shots.

**Rubber Guard** · 11-05-12, 03:33 PM

Digging deep into the fading memory bank Fukuda actually beat Ring. So perhaps he doesn't have 2 common wins.

Anyone any bit impressed by Ring's stand up? I can't seem to remember how strong he is. The only fight I sort of recall without going back is James Head for some reason. And I remember Head doing well and then gassing bad. In a crappy fight all together.

Costas has massive power, good hands, and is stronger than all hell.

“I’ve tried 170, I’ve tried 185, now I’m at 205, and actually I can’t lie, I want to go up to heavyweight one time, just to test it out,” Johnson told MMAWeekly Radio on Monday.
“I want to be the first guy, I don’t know if anybody’s ever done it, but I want to be the first guy to fight four weight classes at one time.”

-Rumble

**Rubber Guard** · 11-05-12, 03:44 PM

Sadly I am looking for a pretty chalky parlay as I am pretty terrible at picking close fights lately and have taken events off.

This PPV is so sad. The first 3 main card fights are a joke.

I have picked on Mark Hominick for a while. And I don't know the last time an 0-3 fighter was -300 or better in the UFC. But I think he take that fight. Garza is a can. It is beat a can in your home country or just retire...leave. Hominick should be better in many departments and should win unless Garza does something flukey. Like pull guard and catch Hominick.

I like Carmont. But who knows with that fight. More than I thought for Carmont.

**Rubber Guard** · 11-05-12, 03:47 PM

Rumble never made 185. Therefor never made 185 or fought there. Give him Arlovski.

Damn, as much I enjoy female MMA on occasion I would have much preferred them to keep it separated from UFC cards. The situation has improved a lot in the last year or so, but there is still a huge discrepancy between the top five female fighters and the rest of the division. I hope they keep female fights off of PPV cards and instead have exhibition type fights every now and then to showcase Rousey on FOX, FX, and Fuel TV, at least until Invicta and regional promotions develop more talent.
