I'm glad to learn they get tested after every fight. I would hate to see drug scandals to ruin UFC. After footy it is the best sport going these days.

Bisping looked a little sluggish. Unlike most people it seems, I actually quite like Bisping. KInda feel sorry for him losing that fight - he is one of the hardest workers going around. I suspect that he'll probably never get a title shot now.

Really enjoyed the Doloway v Sarafian fight. I remember Sarafian from the ultimate fighter brazil. He was a psycho - very talented as well.

The new ultimate fighter series starts next week I think.

I don't like Bisping for a few reasons...he goes too far with his trash talking, for example leading up to the fight he told Belfort their was no God etc,
who is a very religious man. But it's the fact he can dish it but can't take it in return....he carry's on like a school girl.
I'll never respect him after he won a fight then spat on his opponents trainers....and trash talked his opponent after he just knocked him out.

Dana White said leading up to the fight if Bispring won he'd be the next challenger for Anderson Silva.

Fighters get tested positive all the time.
Whether it's for high Testosterone or Marijuana it's at least a 6-12 month suspension,
I think it's ridiculous that Marijuana gets the penalty it does.
Nick Diaz got suspended for Marijuana even though he has medical clearance for it.....I think their should be a penalty but much less.
Also Dave Herman, Matt Riddle and Thiago Silva have been busted in recent times for Marijuana.

As far as performance enhancing within the last 12 months the busts has been...
Stephen Bonner, Jake Shields, Joey Beltran, Rousimar Palhares, Alistar Overeem and Francisco Rivera.
Chris Leben has only just returned from a 12 month suspension.

Na, he always looks like that imo....I noticed his stupid haircut though.

Fighters get tested after every fight anyway.

I thought the Phenom was noticeable more ripped than he has been in recent fights. The UFC drug testing is imperfect, it is considerably less rigorous than Olympic or AFL testing and does not happen regularly out of competition.

Bisping was overpowered in that fight, the strength difference was notable when they exchanged. Maybe the Phenom is naturally stronger, but I thought he looked unnaturally ripped.

Hahaha, I reckon that is an awesome sledge. But that's just me.

yeah, that's why I think he has done his dash now. That was his shot.

Agree that is ridiculous- why they even test for recreational drugs i don;t know. but that is 21st century life unfortunately.

I don't think he deserved a title shot.
He was only on a 1 fight win streak...he was beaten up by Sonnen then he beat Brian Stann who isn't even top 10 material.
I suppose Silva has beat everyone else in the division.

I'm not really religious but I thought it was a cheap shot...
I suppose Sonnen has said a lot worse who I think is legendary at building up a fight.

Great card this weekend.

Particularly looking forward to Overeem v Bigfoot - 2 monsters.

I expect Overeem will own him.

Yep and Yep.
Great card...Overeem wins...he'll get a shot at the title.
Looking forward to Aldo/Edgar....I expect Aldo comfortably,
Edgar doesn't have to power to worry him and he won't have the speed advantage he's used to having in this division.

Benavidez/McCall will be a ripper too.
Even the Prem. fights are good...Woodley goes alright and whenever Dunham fights they exciting.

Looking forward to 157 as well.

:hihi

that bigfoot win has to be one of the biggest upsets for a while. Overeem will be spewing. As you say, too cocky.

yeah, he sure did. When he was knocked down I literally jumped out of my seat. Great fight.

Armbar in Round 1 is on the cards at UFC 157.. Rowdy Ronda Rousey to win in a canter.

It's the only way she's won all her fight's so far :hihi
She's amazing really, so many ways to take you down....Olympic level Judo will do that though.

They don't Ronda losing in her first UFC fight....that's why she's fighting Carmouche who isn't ready yet or anywhere near Rousey's level.

Only Cyborg is capable of beating Ronda, but couldn't get a contract signed with the UFC where both parties were happy which is unfortunate.
