Artur Beterbiev v Joe Smith

[Ron Swanson]

It looks like there are 5 more fights before the Beterbiev vs Smith fight. Lots to watch with UFC fights on as well.
I’ve been getting really frustrated seeing all the guys blatantly roided up in the UFC the last year and a half.

I think the glory days of pride in japan was an even bigger free for all for doping.

I loved Pride, but I just watched the fights, didn’t know the behind the scenes. Did they even pretend to be clean? That’s my issue with the UFC, they are pretending. There’s another fighter tonight with terrible gyno, can’t remember the last card without that. But it’s not just the regular gyno, it’s 35+ year old men suddenly getting in much better shape, it’s Zheng Weili and many of the women muscled up and shredded, it’s regular huge rear delts and upper traps(huge clues), it’s pulling up USADA testing and seeing Conor McGregor while bragging about bulking up hasn’t been tested since being tested 1 time in the 3rd quarter of last year and 0 since. Meaning it has been between 9 and 12 months since he has been tested.

If they want to be dirty, be dirty. But don’t pretend to be clean.

I don't thi k they really pretended at all it was before Lance Armstrong scandal so I think most people ignored doping sports unlike today...

I agree macgregor definitely looks pretty suspicious right now... I'd like strict testing in Combat sports, it's just too dangerous... But baseball was way funner in the steroid age so I vote all worldwide sport doping is directed to the MLB.

Interesting..it was on the very same day 6 years ago that Smith came in a big underdog to score a "upset of the year" bulldozing Fonfara and putting his name of the map hmm.

Does a man come full circle. If only he was fighting him again . I'll admit it..if I had fifty to burn I'd go there. Stranger things have happened.

shu shu just won his fight by a tko in six. unusual stoppage between rounds, not sure what went wrong

[TitoFan]

They just started the telecast here.

[Spicoli]

Have to say, the TR ring gals have made quite the um bounce back since Covid days .

[TitoFan]

Never seen either of these two guys before. Ramirez stalking Nova. Very economical with his movement. Appears to have power in that lead left hand.

[TitoFan]

Hmm... contentious little scrap so far. Ramirez doing a lot of sneering at Nova. Good exchanges in the 3rd round.

this won't go much longer
