Remember when YOU used to sh*t on Sonnen?

We need more Audiences in MMA or it will go the way of Kickboxing or even worse Pride.

 

You obviously don't watch pro-wrestling if you think that's what the WWE is like today.

 

No I don't, what has it become then?

Sonnen could just tone it down a bit. I clearly remember the first few times he thrashed Anderson it made some sense as everyone was fairly mad at Silva for his clowning against Maia.

Now he's just being an attention *****.

 

Sonnen is just a corny heel. He has to keep playing the character now since hes said unbelievable things. But in any case hes become a polarizing figure (which wouldnt happen if he couldnt fight) in the UFC. Also every once in a while he will get a nice joke in like the upside down stool for Big Nog and co. to sit down

This kind of over the top self promotion does help the sport. Heck if Floyd can focus attention to boxing by tainting the sport with PEDS allegation, woman beating, racism, ducking and coupled with the fact that hes far from entertaining in the ring (hate him or like him Chael gives 100%) surely Chael cant be bad.

Silvas loving this as well, I mean he doesnt have to promote the damn fight and hed get a nice payout.

 

You may wanna check your facts. sonnen did not cheat. He is on HRT and has steroids prescribed LEGALLY through his doctor to ensure his testosterone levels are where an average mans should be. That is not a roiding cheat.

 

the title of this thread is so ****ing lame

 

And why does a man his age have low testosterone? Because he abused illegal roids for years. Now he's using a medical loophole for a performance advantage. The point about HRT's legality is moot because his testosterone levels were above normal during the Silva fight. He cheated. That's why the NSAC suspended him.

 

Boom. Im glad someone here gets it.

 

It was California actually. And the point about HRT legality is not just moot because he tested positive - he never jumped through the hoops to get it officially approved in the first place. Nevada for example will only allow a TUE (Therapeutic Use Exemption) if the fighter displays symptoms that are not in line with the problem being caused by PED use. Indeed Nevada has only allowed three fighters to use HRT in its history.

 

Thanks for pointing that out. I meant to type CSAC. I guess that I was thinking about the fact that he hasn't been able to get his license back in Nevada yet.

 

Do you realize how many average joes are on HRT? Thousands and thousands of men suffer from low test that have never used steroids. Probably a million if you factor in that most men aren't smart enough to get their levels checked so have no clue that they are actually low. And then wonder why they're getting fat, lazy and depressed.
Sonnen was a fukin point over the average, which is a pretty wide open area. Specialists prescribe you enough to get you to the "high average" zone but can't completely control the exact measurement to the point.

The only unfair issue would be a fighter having to perform with next to no testosterone production while his opponent had healthy levels. It makes a considerable difference.
I know, because I'm also on HRT. If you're getting up there in age, you might wanna get that **** checked out too. I'm in the shape now that I was in my 20s almost. Having low test levels can fuking kill you if you don't kill yourself first.

 

Sonnen is a drugs cheat :verysad

He is bad for the sport. Nate does the same and Dana goes ape **** because he doesn't come out with outrageous comments like, "Anderson Silva is joke. My nan could beat him in a stand up war".

Sonnen is a liar and a cheat in his personal life as well as in MMA.

These are not my views... they are facts :deal

Lynchburg

 

Six months. Now why would the UFC do that.

 

So, any athlete that is prescribed steroids from their doc to increase their low test levels to average test levels is a cheat? That's ignorance, not facts.

 

Yes actually they are. Just because you're prescribed something by your doctors doesn't make it okay to use. You have to inform the Commission's in advance and get their approval. Sonnen didn't do that which is why he cheated.
