You're trying to say Frank is clean?

No, but it's not apples to apples. Mir was already a big heavyweight. His weight was always 240+, so him gaining 20 lbs or filling out his frame is different than a LHW filling out his frame and then cutting to 265 lbs. In before Fraudreem timeline.

[Heel]

I don't think Overeem was ever ballsy enough to gain 20+ lbs. in 9 months. My point is replacing Overeem with Mir is laughable. The only difference is one got caught.

Don't worry friend, the honorable Frank Mir is stepping up to defend the purity of MMA.

Mir got by the random testing Overeem didn't, so that speaks to his own stupidity.

Mr. Murr looked way more jacked against Carwin. Watch the countdown show, he was huuuge.

Steroid use results in high levels of water retention (oedema) leading to the user becoming “round faced” with puffy cheeks.

No need to post pictures of Overeem. His head looked like a blowfish in Japan.

Mir didn't have any random testing between UFC 100 and 111 though.

Hector Lombard has signed with the UFC, it's official.

Lombard is good for beating up a few cans. I'm gonna throw a wild guess out there and say that its Okami who gets to expose him.

Mike Bisping will tool him after he decisions the Barbarian.

If they want Hector to fight soon then that should happen. Good matchup and Stann took no damage in his fight.

Who was it in nerd chat that said they worked on SyFy commercials and everyone said they never watched SyFy? Was it Gr1m? Just thought of it cuz there's a SyFy appreciation thread.

Gravedigger = ratings, bitch.

This past weekend's UFC 145 preliminary-card broadcast scored a record 1.6 million viewers on FX.

MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) today confirmed the ratings information with industry sources.

The April 21 broadcast, which preceded the night's pay-per-view main card, bested every UFC on FX main-card broadcast and PPV preliminary-card special since the UFC moved from Spike TV to the FOX family of channels earlier this year.

[WrikaWrek]

Man I hope they don't get Reem again. And I hope Reem doesn't let go off the drugs, he needs to keep being like the Hulk.

Sonnen vs. Silva III in Brazil after Chael defends his belt in Vegas. Book it.

[parrotbeak]

If you're not a member of the UFC fight club or whatever it's called, is it going to be pretty impossible to get reasonably priced tickets for this? Would love to go but don't want to pay scalper prices.

[TheKaeptain]

Looks like everyone tuned in to see Future WW King Rory Mac rape that dude.

Two undeserved rematches manufactured.
Two Zuffa hype trains begin.

Wouldn't getting on the prelims make you more sponsorship money? I highly doubt the guys opening the card are getting any part of the ppv, so if I'd rather be seen by 3x as many eyeballs.

What is the stance on the UFC bringing over Gegard Mousasi or Rafael Cavalcante once their contracts are up with Strikeforce? While neither is an immediate contender for Jones, they both would permit the UFC to have new match-ups. In addition, with Tito, Rampage, and even Franklin and Forrest on their way out of the UFC, there needs to be fresh blood for the division.

I am surprised there has yet to be an Ultimate Fighter that features the Light-Heavyweight Division since 2008. Here's a list of fighters still employed with the UFC after debuting on TUF.

From Season 1: Leben, Griffin, Bonnar, and Swick (kind of)
From Season 3: Bisping (and Hamill, before Jones retired him)
From Season 5: Bader, Kingsbury, Lawlor, Sosznyski (may be retired)

There's also Rashad Evans, who debuted at Heavyweight, that fights within the LHW division.

Divisional breakdown on TUF since 2005, with FW and BW being introduced in 2010
Middleweight: 6 times
Lightweight: 5 times
Welterweight: 5 times
Light-Heavyweight: 3 times
Heavyweight: 2 times
Featherweight: 2 times
Bantamweight: 1 time

So anyone rose think Anderson looked really pissed at the presser? More pissed at Dana than Chael though. There was a few times he wanted to laugh at Chael.

Andy's sorta been pissed off. I think at this point hes taking it as an insult that dana's allowing sonnen to act the way he does.

I'm starting to think my theory about him being really good buddies with Dana and Joe is the truth.

I was hoping they'd make this fight. It has #1 contender written all over it, hate it or love it.

Who the fuck is "Chris Weidman?"

Anderson would beat them both in a handicap match. I'd rather see Hoosimar vs Lombard winner get a shot.

I believe his nick name is "THE ALL-AMERICAN."


That should inform you on what is specialty is.

I can get with that idea. Paul Harris is fighting Belcher so if he wins maybe they'll make it. I still have the feeling it'll be Lombard vs. Stann, though.

Hooray for a bad kickboxing match between Munoz and Weidman.

God I hate the middleweight division.
