Was Wanderlei Silver roided up in the Pride days

1/ black ppl dont really get cauliflower ear (no racist)
2/ I hope you're kidding that you think that is more likely than...he juices the same as everyone else

If you think there's even a tiny chance that Silva or any other top fighter isn't a heavy anabolic + GH user you're so naive and clueless there's really no point saying anymore...its like a Bruce Lee versus a Tiger thread.

 

Not all top athletes use it is only a small percent that do, being round boxing gyms for years and very high quality boxers (elite athletes) I know non of them used, you have no proof to say all elite fighters use gear!

 

Naah they just use the classic horse meat method :yep

 

What ever gave you that idea

Lets rephrase what your saying ...................

MMA was a dirty sport and PRIDE was a dirty organisation , the UFC test there fighters PRIDE claim to of , but never did , and openly endorsed the use of PED's , because lets be real if they did , half of there ticket sellers would be out of a job and ridiculed

MMA by and large in the medium and lower levels is nothing short of scandalous , PED's and really poor match making are rife in the UK , and i mean rife , anybody who disagree's with that really hasnt seen or been exposed to things like weigh ins , or low budget promotions in the UK , its ****in criminal !!!

You'll have people on here vehemently defending the PRIDE days to be the lost days of MMA and the Golden Generation of MMA and will go blue in the face if you even mention anybody in the same breath as Fedor , but the facts are facts PRIDE was riddled with steroids , therefore that alone (and there are many things to dislike about PRIDE) for me destroys its credibility , that said in PRIDE's defence the UFC at the time was also rife with steroids , and at that time they appeared to do little about it , but have sinced moved on and now show little remorse for the use of PED's

 

He was def roided up as were others fighters but thats not the reason for his demise. His a shot fighter and the Cro Crop fight in the GP was the one that changed him forever.

The sport is rife with PED's. There is no doubt fighters in the UFC are juicing they just use cycles to make sue they are clean come fight night.

UFC shows little remorse? If that was really the case you would see fighters sacked but that doesnt happen.

 

Its not as easy as just cyclin mate , You cannot hide steroid use by just cycling , the promotion has to be aware that a fighter is juicing to hide it , specially when referring to the type of PED's being used by mixed martial artists , needless to say it isnt a quick shot of suss and decca to pump up your arms and chest now is it??

Champions stripped of title's , fighters having lengthy bans , thats little remorse in a sport rife with PED's no ??? , the punishments seem to be getting harsher as the sport in particular the UFC gets main stream notoriety , the day will come one day where a UFC fighters gets his marching orders no matter how big a star he is , but like ive said the sport is a lot cleaner now and the top echelon athletes have too much to lose , not like the old days !!!

 

Lets not be naive. Most MMA fighters roid with the standard testing in place in America. Fighters were roided out of their minds in Pride and K-1. I think one of the reasons why so many of the bigger names struggled to adapt to the UFC was because they didn't know how to cycle it out/use properly at first.

 

I would be surprised if any fighter in Pride wasn't on ROIDS.

 

most fighters these days think along the lines that if they pass the drug test they are not cheating, however we all know the drug testing is **** poor come on guys dont be so ****ing naive

 

not taking anything away form the guy but i think he did. Couldve swore he was like 230 when he fought Mirko the first time.

 

who would you say is definately NOT on something?
bj penn springs to mind. just seems it would go against his whole personality. his physique backs it up too.

 

Wow.

You are an idiot.

 

Penn
Sakuraba
Fedor (although one of his teammates got busted in the past)
Nick Diaz (he seems to be all into healthy living/weed but not roids)
Big Country (though you never know)
Aoki and a few of the Japanese fighters who don't cut much weight.

 

who knows....but would he have been as good if he wasn't on roids and have given us the awesome fights he did?

Roids or not he was entertaining!
