It is in my head... he cheated... he boosted his level to above normal levels, probably on more than one occasion.
If he couldnt fight without taking PEDS, cos he has some condition ( condition being he was too weak to compete ) then it's simple ...dont fight!

Sonnen has low testosterone levels, he uses testosterone replacement therapy to get his levels back up to normal. He has for years, he came in at acceptable levels on all but one occasion. As long he's in normal ranges, he's fine. Hendo has also used TRT since 2007 (the first fighter to get a therapeutic use exemption), Couture does as well, it's a treatment for a legit medical condition. This is no different than Velasquez fixing his torn rotator cuff.

Apart from one occasion eh ? and that happened to be the fight for the title eh ?!?! What a suprise

If he had been doing it for years, then he should be aware of his levels and how much to take. No excuse for being above normal level

Just give up man! It wasn't intentional it was for medical purposes not enhancing!

You just will not let it lie will ya

All this will count for shit anyway when Stann beats his ass

^ Right, because Stann has always shown such great wrestling. Sonnen is a wrestling juggernaut with good enough hands to set up his shot. Stann's in for a world of hurt

That's the way I see it going. Stann will be out wrestled and and brutalized on the ground for 3 rounds.

I think he will be still as good as he has been in his past couple of performances and will ground and pound the shit out of stann.

Chael just needs to start training submission defence, its his biggest flaw.

Ya know what ya gonna get with Chael, he's gonna try to get ya down, then ground and pound, his wrestling skills are quality, make no bones about that. What I dont agree with is the shit he comes out with pre-fight, only to be caught as a cheat, and now making a comeback, speaking even more shite

The steroids made him stronger, otherwise why take them?
Nate was on drugs, for quite a while by all accounts, thats probably the reason he got his original shot at Silva.
Same for Sonnen. Now he's back im interested to see how his performance is, although I personally dont think he should be allowed to fight in the UFC again.

Yeah but Chael never tested positive before the Silva fight and he held down guys with better wrestling and physically stronger than Silva so i dont think the peds would of made much difference really. Chaels game plan is to ground and pound the shit out of you, he did it to Silva no different to anyone else hes done it to. The only reason why it looked so good was coz wrestling is becoming a known weakness of Andersons. Henderson had him in trouble in the first round and chael threw him around like a rag doll and Jon Jones would destroy him inside one round if they ever fought
