Andserson lost that fight even while on steroids nick took his punches like a man and at the end of the match anderson falls over and crys wtf. Anyways dont be scared homie.
 
I'm really looking forward to Glory tonight. It's free on Spike.
I'm picking Holzken to win the tournament and Zimmerman for the upset against Verhoeven.
 
I think bonecrusher has a great chance for the upset. he has ko power and a great knee. he's not the tallest fighter but he gets a lot of height with his high knee.

verhoeven isn't a devastating striker and I think he should've lost in the semi's to gokhan saki a couple years ago. he would eventually go to win that tourney but saki should've been the one to advance. a slip was declared a knock down by the ref, causing saki the loss by decision.

should be a good fight though

maybe you've never dedicated your life to a passion of yours so much so that after a devastating event caused a career threatening setback, and your eventual return in victory causes an uncontrollable burst of emotions in you.

so I don't expect that you'd understand why a man would cry

I personally believe the steroid may have been caused by the doctor's use of it to speed his recovery from the leg injury.

either that or he's been cheating his whole career or the last few years as he aged. who knows. but I understand his legacy is tarnished. to me it doesn't completely tarnish his legacy, only to a degree. because you still have to put in the extra time, hard work and dedication if you use that stuff.
 
Errol is listed as 6'5" on the Glory website. He just looks short next to some of the other monsters. I believe Rico is the same.
I think the difference will be Errols' power.

I wouldn't tarnish anyone's legacy for steroids during the late stage of their career. He would've been caught sooner,

He's saying he had no idea he was using but my first thought was it was to recover from the broken leg. It can't be a quick recovery at his age and he bounced back quick

Ya your right it was a good fight not the best but both men took punches and exchanged so it was a good fight in my opinion just wish anderson would retire his time is over hes just going to end up like shogun and hendo.
 
eddie, well, you got two groups

the supporters who say maybe it was to speed recovery, or maybe he been using only in recent years as he's aged

the others are the ones who says he's probably been using it for a long time now if not his entire career. there are many athletes who never been caught who has admitted to using peds after they're retired

so there's that.


bottles, you're right, lol, it's the shape of his body that leads me to think he was shorter than he really is

yea, he has nothing left to prove. I think the perfect way to retire would've been to beat nick and not fail a drug test.

the fight wasn't great, I agree. In fact there was a part of me that was a bit disappointed. he's clearly lost a step due to his age and whatever kind of games the injury played with his head. the Anderson that first stepped into the octagon didn't fight and move like the one who fought nick
 
Ya it would have been perfect if he would have koed nick diaz then again nicks only been koed once the dudes got a chin of titanium anderson might have needed a sledgehammer for to win that battle. Also is nick going to keep fighting at middleweight if so some good opponents would be in my opinion gregard mousasi, vitor belfort, luke rockhold, and of course chris weidman.
