    To be fair he's had those stretch marks since he was down at 205 in PRIDE. He used to routinely struggle to fit his body into 205.
     
  2. You think now hes with the UFC he'll tone down on the peds, things wont be as easy as they were in japan and holland surely?

    He is just as heavy but as some have already said fatter and has a little bit of water weight. But it's not that THAT bad he looks like he did against Rogers and Werdum (where he was 10lbs lighter) to be honest I hope that he can get back in the uber shape he was in the Lesnar fight in

    Well he obviously hadn't toned it down as the UFC test is just an inconvenient tick box, and dam near the entire UFC stable is on hormones. Reem is no different. As for PRIDE they never tested for drugs. So the comparison really makes little difference.

    I heard somewhere that they did take blood from some of the athletes, and said that they were going to test them; it's just that no one ever heard what the results were.

    I doubt it. PRIDE never cared about drug use or abuse. It simply didn't matter to them as PRIDE was all about the 'show'. Because of its Pro Wrestling roots that ethos is/was hardly different to the then WWF or NJPW.
    Either way taking bloods would be far far more expensive, and almost impractical than the usual **** test. So id presume that's probably just a baseless rumor.

    Perhaps. I just thought it would be funny if someone's contract stipulated that whatever opponent he was facing had to submit a drug test, and the opponent submitted a test, and there was no one around to care about the results.
