    Holy Cro Cop?!?! Wtf?!

    I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the machida fight. He looked really good, though he used his usual boring style for the first two rounds. Round three though, wow. He looked fantastic. He actually tried to finish the fight! Right now there's no way they'll give him a title shot because...

    Yeah, but if you go in there and sign up with some brazilian friends I doubt they'll pull that ****.

    Pride will use the unified MMA rules

    I always hated the purse deductions, that's so lame. Stalling and running should get a warning then point deductions though for sure.

    Pride will use the unified MMA rules

    Awesome. Knees to grounded opponents needs to be in there.

    If you had...

    Team quest for sure. I think training with Pat can make you a great fighter, that's been proven. I think ultimately though there is more diverse and well rounded skill available with team quest. In reality though I think the top teams are Chute Boxe and BTT, it just depends on what kind of a...

    Bodogfight: Lindland vs. Emilianenko Set

    Lindland fought well for being way smaller. I'm not very good at jujitsu but if I'm rolling with a 180lb black belt I'll give them a hard time just because of the weight and strength difference (especially in no gi). Someone like fedor who's the man, well it's sort of a no-brainer. Fedor has...

    Bodogfight: Lindland vs. Emilianenko Set

    Hehe, short fight! I have to say Aleksander was looking all trim and tan. Someone put him on a diet...

    Nandrolone Base TD, quicker results than NPP?

    Nandrolone tends to crystallize a lot more than some other common base hormones. You will have a pain in the ass time compounding it. Go with boldenone for better results in transdermals.

    Rumor: Vera vs. Big Nog at UFC 73

    Herring looked better, he still not his best game, and still not really that impressive though. Without the knees on the ground Heath doesn't really have the weapons to finish a fight... He's a mediocre striker and he has very little in the way of submission skills. I thought it was funny when...

    Rumor: Vera vs. Big Nog at UFC 73

    Nog is really versatile and tough, but this seems to be the year of the upset, so I won't rule anything out :)

    Steroids in Mixed Martial Arts

    The recombinant form produced by chinese hamster ovaries is fairly new... People have been purifying, crystallizing, and studying the stuff for a while. The recombinant protein is almost exactly the same as the stuff produced by our kidneys.

    Steroids in Mixed Martial Arts

    EPO is fairly well characterized. The reason that people who use it report faster recovery time from endurance exercise is that there are several signal cascades that are initiated as a result of high blood lactate levels and low blood/tissue glucose levels, which upset homeostasis. EPO...

    Steroids in Mixed Martial Arts

    Yeah, if I was going to cut more than a couple of pounds of water, I'd just blood dope, rather than use EPO. Same effect, just more trouble to achieve.

    Steroids in Mixed Martial Arts

    The problem with Oxycyte is that it binds oxygen TOO well. The nice thing about hemoglobin is that it has sigmoid binding kinetics, which means that it'll pick up oxygen in the lungs and release it in the blood. Oxycite binds oxygen very effectively everywhere and it IS useful for oxygen...

    Best MMA Book?

    For total beginners, no. Check out Randy Couture's centuryvision videos, Bas Rutten's big dvd of combat, Brandon Vera's MMA gameplan and Rob Kaman's old panther video series for some excellent instruction on almost all facets of fighting though.

    Wanderlei Silva - Igor Vovchanchyn @ Pride34

    I don't think Wand wand has been in that many FULL ON wars. If anyone would be punch drunk I think it would be Vovchanchyn. Or Nogueria.

    Best MMA Book?

    Can't believe nobody's mentioned Mark Hatmaker's books: No Holds Barred Fighting: Savage Strikes: The Complete Guide to Real World Striking for NHB Competition and Street Defense, No Holds Barred Fighting: The Ultimate Guide to Submission Wrestling No Holds Barred Fighting: Takedowns: Throws...

    Now that the Merger is Official...

    who cares who's never been dropped. Anyone can get hit while they're off balance. What matters is who's never been rocked... Hunt has been knocked down but I've never seen him rocked. Fedor has never been knocked down but he's been rocked. *shrug*
