I crack up every time when he makes that face like he’s totally shocked, shocked! 24 pounds no way, 2 at most! He was trying to convince someone that they were about an order of magnitude off!

New menu at McDonalds: a big #NothingBurger

[@sexuallobster134679]

No. Bulking for the bisping fight flared the shit out of it and that's how he discovered it. It was steroids. Gsp was mad as fuck about steroids in the sport and dana/ufc not supporting his calls for testing etc. Before the Hendricks fight he called for them both to do VADA testing (essentially the guidelines USADA, Olympics etc use). Dana didn't back it. Georges offered to pay for them both as it was like 20k for each of them. Hendricks refused. Gsp did the testing and posted the results anyway. It's wild to me how people don't remember this at all and how it was part of what led to the ufc partnering with USADA to look more "legit". We didn't know it at the time but the ufc was looking to sell. Or Zuffa, was looking to sell the ufc. Their biggest star at the time retired citing frustrations with their drug tests. CNN covered it. It was relatively big news in Canada. Not a good look for Zuffa trying to sell. USADA partnership was full swing like a year later lol

[@Brown87]

It also seems as though a lot of people have forgotten, or just don't know, about Lesnar and his struggles with diverticulitis; he was only able to have one fight over a two year period (as champion) and had twelve inches removed from his lower intestine 😐 People seem to think he just "wasn't that good" or was a "one trick pony", but his illness severely hindered his potential 💯

@@skindred1888TJ was a young fighter who made a career off winning championships through outrageous PED use, and was nothing once caught and forced to fight without them. Chael was an older fighter making a career off his epic trash talk, who now does entertaining commentary. See the difference?

[@Reaching4Grapes]

⁠@@booognish your comments are not based on the facts. Tj popped once and he was transparent about it. He took EPO because he was depleted for the weight cut and couldn’t train.
