    I don’t know if he’s taking steroids and neither do you.

    lol, im literally asking as your original comment is hard to tell. you seem to slam him right off the bat. which was basically him openly coming out and saying what had went on and no fighter has ever done that.

    usada cleared him a day later but are they even trustworthy. i know * all about steroids but compared to other fighters who have popped his body type doesn't even look similar. also chael done a video about how he says he doesnt believe hes doing anything, and he has a vast amount of knowledge in cheating with steroids compared to anyone on here.

    My original point was that he doth protest too much. He’s not shut up about steroids for years.

    Body type and shape are only one indicator, there are banned substances that don’t make you look like He-Man. Ones that improve your cardiovascular ability, for example...

    his elevated levels were for LGD-4033 which from my reading is an anabolic used to increase muscle mass

    Anyone else catch this fight? Timid doesn't even come close to describing the shell Rory MacDonald has become.

    He's a Jesus preacher with absolutely no killer instinct left in him. Ran for the entire fight. Fair play to Lima but I wouldn't read much into the result. There's not many top level fighters who wouldn't have beaten MacDonald that night.

    LGD-4033 is specifically used to increase physical stamina and fitness.

    The Lawler fight ended his career. Could see it at the time, his soul was ripped out that night along with his beak.

    Absolutely.

    I hope you're wrong (I know you're not saying definitively that he did or didn't cheat) about Nate. I'd love to think he wouldn't but it's naive to blindly think he absolutely didn't. Just glad the fight is on to be fair.

    I’d be surprised if he did but his ‘Everyone is on roids but me’ line is getting tiresome.

    A real shame he was an absolute killer, religion can do that to some fighters they just lose all hunger. The geeky psychopath that used to come out to Slayer is long gone.

    Looks like it’s Cowboy for Conor’s next fight.

    Wrong decision IMO unless he fights Poirier/Gaethje after it but we all know that’s not happening.

    Cowboy is a gimme so they can try get the rematch with Khabib as quickly as possible.

    Can see why they want this fight though McGregor needs to get his head back in the game. I just can't see him beating Khabib. Good chance Khabib will retire undefeated.
