Pride actually welcomed their fighters to take PEDs. (Check out the JRE podcast) soccer kicks were legal back then. Brutal! . Pride was vicious but 98% of their fighters would've tested hot on a UA haha. 
Wanderlei Silva in his prime during Pride is my fav of all time. He was a beast!

Same with DREAM. I knew Overeem wasn't going to go very far in an organization that tests. I'm of the opinion though to just let fighters take whatever they want. If you're willing to put your life and health at risk for my entertainment, I'll watch.

PEDs weren't tested in Pride, which is true, but encouraged is a bit of a stretch. Soccer kicks, stomps, knees to a grounded opponent, etc. are still legal in certain organizations. Not every organization follows the Unified Rules that we have here. Pretty sure ONE FC allows soccer kicks still.

Steroids and such didn't always make for better fighters anyway. Sure there were some that would destroy opponents, but if you could keep your distance, the bigger dudes would gas out pretty quick.

Baroni and Coleman, for example.

So does anybody think Saint Preux can pull this off? Seems like a weird matchup to me.

They didn't have any other options. The others ahead of OSP were either booked or injured. Outside of landing a looping left, I can't see OSP having much to offer.

I cant believe they gave jones all 5 rounds. He didnt do anything the first two rounds and they gave them to him anyways. I hate the way Jones fights. Like theres no possible way the judges would ever give anyone a round against him. Drives me nuts.
