UFC 146 May 26 Dos Santos vs. Mir

LMAO

Varner is on Sherdog Radio right now and said he always knew he would get back into the UFC.

He said he told his trainer several months ago, the only guy I don't want to fight when I return to the UFC is Barboza. He said he specifically was telling people that he was the only guy he didn't wanna face first... he said he would have faced anyone even Frankie Edgar, then the UFC calls him and says.. you're facing Barboza



His story just keeps on getting more awesome

Edit: Varner has become a lot more likeable these days.. he's really humble now and well spoken. He praised Cowboy and said he doesn't deserve to fight him yet.

Interesting tidbit. Mir got a exemption for TRT in this fight.

[Pappy Knuckles]

Wow. It seems like the entire sport is doing TRT.

It is a shame too........If you have to take TRT, then you shouldn't be a fighter.

I don't get this line of thinking at all, if a guy needs TRT because he suffers from low testosterone but tests in what they consider a normal range for an adult man then where is the issue? If someone is abusing it like Overeem then it will come out but no point in bunching them all together and making a blanket statement like that imo.

I totally get what you're saying and I sort of agree with you and Aaron on this issue, but testosterone is just really touchy to me... I don't think you should be allowed to generate it synthetically like that... if you don't have enough of it, then oh well. I don't think it's comparable to other conditions either..

But like I said I do somewhat agree with you. Especially if they monitor the levels..

Ben Fowlkes wrote an article on TRT recently saying the testing process is flawed though. So they should look at that.

I guess I just fall on in the group that doesn't care about PED's in sports. If you get caught, tough ****, and you deserve to be suspended. Doesn't really change my opinion on who is using and who isn't though. It's the life of modern sports athletes. Pretty much all of them are going to be on some sort of supplemental cocktails, just some things are banned and some aren't.

Well said Sandman. In the end, who really knows what goes on behind closed doors. In any sport.
