You dont think Shogun has fallen off since his prime some?

And who knows if Chael wasn't on what is illegal now.

Absolutely, he's fallen off a lot. But Chael handled him rather easily, submitting him...which is not Chael's strong point.
 
sometimes fighters match up better against others. I dont think that means Chael hasn't lost whatever touch it is he might have had.

"There is a huge distinction between illegal versus banned," Sonnen told host Mike Hill. "These are perfectly legal substances. These are not performance-enhancing drugs. These are not anabolic. These are not steroids of any kind. Look, they [the Nevada State Athletic Commission] changed the rules and I've got to comply with the rules. However, there is a transition period and I couldn't have been more open or more transparent. Whether it was UFC TONIGHT, whether it was different interviews, anybody that I could tell or talk to about this, I did. And these are the medications that you have to go on to lead a healthy life. If they're asking me to choose between my health and my sport, that's not a choice I can make. I've got to choose health."

seems to me that he was taking something he wasn't easily able to quit and is making excuses for it. I dont see many other fighters having the same issue as him either.

I don't think he was ever a "great" fighter. He could have gone into the upper echelon had he not gotten caught against Silva, but he didn't and he will forever be a solid MMA fighter who has won some good fights and lost some bad fights. He had absolutely no business in the ring with Jon Jones, but he beat Rua with relative ease. His "skills" have always been questioned...diminshed now? Of course, he's aging.

As for the "banned" substances...I don't care.
 
So you agree with me but wanted to say something as well

Cool

Well Chooch, you actually said all he does is talk smack and lose...he won his fight against Shogun less than a year ago. That was my point.

Ya big CHOOCH!!!
 
And that you agreed with me.

It's ok. Your choochness is intact
 
Would love to have seen Carlos Condit finish his fight with Woodley. Rory MacDonald just made Woodley look stupid. The Welterweight division just got interesting. I think I'd like to see Rory fight Nick Diaz. Diaz wants back in...make him fight someone worthy before he gets a title shot, but it looks like Rory might get the title shot. I think Lawler should when he goes in and annihilates Matt brown.
 
I hope so. The Diaz boys need to get beaten until they never want to come back

Diaz might have the reach to fight him, but that's a catch weight fight unless Silva drops the weight.

I would love to see Rory MacDonald fight Diaz. He is so disciplined and has a tremendous arsenal.
 
Now THAT'S a press conference! That's what I'm talking about. It should be an incredible fight.
 


I cant wait for Jones to beat this dudes ASS!!

I was very tempted to lay some money on his opponent.

Yeah, Cormier has done nothing but win since he was in the Strikeforce Heavyweight Tournament, but at less than 6ft, it would be a daunting task to get inside Jon Jones' arsenal and reach.
 
Change the gloves if it's a problem.
