Re: OS MMA Random Thread

I know the UFC wanted Conor on there, but why Uriah? Hopefully there will be some good fighters because I don't really care about the house stuff and you can't show Conor for the full hour.

I would have rather have Frankie instead of Uriah honestly.

Interesting. I wonder how many times he calls him a midget. Sounds like aw drinking in the making

So does this mean that Conor isn't fighting anytime soon

I was thinking the same thing. The only reason I think it wasn't done is because Dana wants the Aldo fight. If Frankie is on the show, then Aldo might be forgotten.

I wouldn't think so. Since they aren't fighting, he just has to be there for the taping, so 6 weeks. They probably start filming soon after he goes home for a few weeks. Then comes back, does this and goes back to training. Aldo isn't back until at least October, so he won't fight soon anyways.

Conor isnt fighting until the early December or New Years show. Probably New Years.

Plus the knee he reinjured, who knows if he needs a cleanup or just rest.

Fedor is coming back, nothing official in what org, but he is back to training and will fight. Now with testing, he may be able to win some fights against lower tier fighters and plus HW is barren in all orgs but the UFC.

My money is on Bellator. He's still down with M-1 and he doesnt appear to care about the challenge the UFC would present. He could go to Bellator and fight guys like Volkov and Kongo and make some decent moeny.

Re: OS MMA Random Thread

Agreed he has a previous relationship with Coker and he may even be able to get the belt there if he is serious.

Aldo is going to get himself cut or suspended. Said that he doesn't care about the IV ban, they can't stop him from using it, he won't stop, and the UFC won't cancel the fight at the last minute.

Someone in his camp needs to reel him in a little. He doesnt have enough pull to take some of the positions he takes. He isnt Ronda. He isnt Jones. Shoot, he isnt Conor.

Also I believe the IV ban is a part of the UFC's drug testing policy so he will lose a year or two if he gets caught.

Coming off of what transpired at his last-scheduled fight, he is the last person that should be talking this way.

Re: OS MMA Random Thread

Does anyone know what the reasoning behind them banning IV's was?

Re: OS MMA Random Thread

On Rogan's show he says it has to due with blood doping. Guys were putting in more than just electrolytes I guess

Mainly used to dilute blood PED levels or inject PEDs. IVs are banned in and out of competition. It is plastic IVs only though, so the bag they are able to test for plastics in the blood. There are still glass and natural sheep and other animals. So if you want to pay a lot, you may be able to keep doing it.

There really isn't a need for the IV though. You can just intake the liquids through your mouth naturally. The problem is that the IVs are used as a slow drip throughout the night. So fighters are going to have to stay up and rehydrate instead of resting.
