^^ The Barry Bonds of MMA.. Do we now put an * next to all his wins?

Funny thing is AS was never that jacked up looking with muscles or definition when looking back...




Imagine what he would have looked like without ever taking roids? Lol...

[Sanity Check]

After losing twice to Chris Weidman & breaking his leg.

Silva got desperate & lost his nerve.

Could've happened to anyone.

[Killer_Demo]

I personally think he didn't do PED's until after he broke his leg. I know he was doing it for recovery,

[fitguy67]

^this...guy never looked like a Hector-Lombard action figure--neither before, nor now^

also, never failed any drug tests till after that leg-obliterating second fight with weidman

[JIBBBY]

Not MMA news but news for online gambling folks.. As you fruit cakes know I'm always looking to up my gambling game.. Commitment to excellence should be the ultimate goal for everyone including me that gambles MMA..

It's just a damn shame that some of these books don't let us Americans join in on the favorable odds. The highlighted odds are the best available... http://oddsb.com/

I had a pending account active from years ago at the Greek.. Tried to play with it again and it was closed.. Tried to re-open and no cigar... Tried to start even a new account and got rejected..

Why does this happen? Can they not pay out to foreign Countries or something? Bovada does and I don't get it??? Can someone enlighten me please?

[Sanity Check]

It happens cuz billionaire gambling moguls in vegas want it to happen.

Vegas casinos want a monopoly over the us gambling industry & they have the political clout to strongarm books into not supporting the us region.

Casino mogul Sheldon Adelson wants to stop Internet gambling


WASHINGTON — Several House lawmakers Wednesday moved forward with a measure to stop online gambling's spread — a bill pushed by casino mogul Sheldon Adelson, who is one of the Republican Party's biggest donors.
Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, and seven other House members are reintroducing a measure that would rescind a 2011 Justice Department opinion that found that the 1961 federal Wire Act used to curb online gambling applies only to sports betting.
The bill is backed by six Republicans and one Democrat, Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, and marks the second time Chaffetz has introduced the proposal.
Chaffetz called the Justice Department's action "a massive policy change without debate or input from the people or their representatives" and noted that 16 attorneys general have asked Congress to act.
Adelson, who oversees a gambling empire that stretches from the USA to China, has argued against online gambling on moral grounds. The Adelson-backed Coalition to Stop Internet Gambling warns of children gambling on their smartphones and tablets.
Adelson also has clout on Capitol Hill, after contributing more than $90 million in 2012 in an effort to elect Republicans to the White House and Congress. Just weeks before last November's congressional elections, he donated $5 million to a super PAC working to grow the GOP's House majority.

Three states — Delaware, New Jersey and Nevada — have legalized Internet gambling in recent years.
Pro-gambling organizations have slammed Adelson's involvement. John Pappas, executive director of The Poker Players Alliance, said online gambling "has not led to the downfall of Western society" and argued that legalization should be left up to the state leaders.
Chaffetz's bill, Pappas said, represents "the worst kind of crony capitalism that favors a mega-political campaign donor over what's in the best interest if the states and their consumers."
Adelson's aides did not immediately respond to interview requests.

The challenger is the fav against the champ

[UncleChael]

Nick Diaz goes 5 rounds with the P4P greatest of all time when hes juiced to the and he still doesn't get put out. Props. Nick Diaz is the homie.

Yeah he was a punching bag for the champ over 5 rounds, talking shit in every round because he was losing, pulling out all the dirty tricks while being his normal unsportman like self..

Yeah, Nicks the man all right and a real contribution to the sport...

Rory MacDonald is no joke and I can see this being the case...

Becuz Silva wasn't engaging with the Peoples champion. Nick Diaz doesn't get knocked out. Who lays down and gives them their back against the P4P? NICK DIAZ.

[UncleChael]

Rory MacDonald is no joke and I can see this being the case...

I was ripped off @ UFC 167 but Lawler was the better man that night.. And Rory came out to Rihanna instead of Metallica for this fight... #NeverAgain.

Good way for him to go out. He will be in his 40s and just fade into retirement.

Looks like Rousey is fighting in Rio at UFC 190 against Bethe Correia

[Thor4140]

Now everybody understands who is who. Now that he's been smashed, Khabib Nurmagomedov says Anthony Pettis can ‘go to the prelims.'

[Thor4140]

Got to love the guy

Kabib also said that Pettis needs to practice boxing more instead of getting 3 haircuts a week. Some funny-ass trolling right there.

Im starting to think Conner really is nuts. He may start a riot in Brazil

If he gets suspended in the US can can still fight in the UFC in Brazil, right?

[Thor4140]

Doubt Dana would ever do that. He should ask Dana to cut him and him and Chael can have a third fight own their own collecting all the cash not worrying about who can juice the most.

Lol... Not a bad idea actually... What do you call that event? Juicers Delight for the ages?

I still think back as to why Anderson Silva even took steroids to prepare to fight Nick Diaz??? It's not like Nick Diaz is a strong wrestler or anything.. I'm pretty sure Anderson Silva would have dominated that fight even off the juice and even if he was a little flabby and sloppy going in.. Stupid move by Anderson Silva period!!!

Damon Martin ✔ @DamonMartin Follow Hector Lombard suspended one year, fined $53,000 win bonus and 1/3 of his fight purse. Bout overturned to no contest #UFC

Yeah, I'm sure Anderson was worried about looking ripped for the ladies, rather than being 40 years old +1 year layoff, and a broken damn leg

We have Bellator and WSOF going down this weekend..

First up on Friday is Bellator and Saturday is WSOF!!!

Combatpress has write ups out already for both events if you wanna get a jump on it early... Lines aren't out yet..http://combatpress.com/category/events/previews/

[TheCalculator]

95-97% of ALL fighters were using for years (decades).

No one was expecting to be busted and prosecuted like they have been (including me).

From the weigh-ins in the last few months -- I would say the usage of classic roids has dropped to 80% or less.

I expect the trend to continue. If they keep busting guys -- eventually less than 50% of guys will be off the sauce and stick with undectables.

Most guys will focus on HGH and another stuff that's hard to test for.

Well UFC 186 just got fukked.

TJ and Barao is off due to a Dillashaw fractured rib. Might as well cancel the card now.

Wow, that sucks!!!! Wonder how the UFC is gonna fill that gap????

[Thor4140]

I think Felder is out of April 18th card. Knee injury.
