    This card was in Japan, if there was ever a place they were going to juice it's Japan. I don't see how you can assume either way though.

    I'm sure the UFC is still doing the testing or having it be done. This isn't Pride.

    I can assume because the cartoon physique that everyone accepts as normal is a result of PEDs and a lot of the fighters on this card, as opposed to all recent cards, didn't have that physique.

    yeah, that was ridiculous. even though the UFC does their own testing for these kind of events, odds are, you'd far rahter get catch by them than an offical A.C.

    So, you think the reason several fighters looked softer than usual is because?

    Don't think that drug testing is any more lenient in UFC events outside of the US. Just a month or so ago Joey Beltran and Rousimar Palheras failed their drug tests after fighting in Australia.

    I know, and that's great. Do they test everyone at every event though?

    I think the athletic commisions test the main eventers and a couple of random fighters. Outside of the US, the UFC tests every fighter on the card.

    So you didn't notice or you just want me to name?

    Specifically, Stann, Gomi, Sanchez, Lombard, and Okami. Probably others.

    I didn't watch the card, I don't have Fuel. I wanted to know who so I can see for myself.

    I'm hearing Overeem is hurt and pulled out of his fight against Dos Santos. Wonder if they'll put Hunt in his place.

    yep, heard that as well. Perfect fight for Hunt to make himself the #1 contender (not that I think that he'd win, just that JDS is his best bet)

    I don't think anyone other than Sanchez looked unusually softer.

    But I'd personally blame it more on the fact that Sanchez has been out of action for more than a year and coming down from welterweight.

    I didn't think Gomi, Okami, Stann, Sila, etc looked unusually smaller.

    I'd love to think some new testing has made everyone play fair, but theres nothing at this past event that looks suspicious.

    I want to see it. I favor JDS but it will be fun for a little while anyway.

    Overeem hurt ? LMAO I call B.S. Overeem knows if his OverRATED ass steps in there with JDS his career will be OVER. 2 HIGH PROFILE loses back to back in the UFC and he can forget the title picture. OverROID will probably leave UFC this year and head back to the land of rising NEEDLE because without his "MEDICINE" he is complete overrated crap.

    I've been saying it forever, Overeem even on the juice is still the same dude who was getting knocked out at LHW. Roids can't help your chin or your heart. Overeem is a guy who literally turns his back and runs when he gets hit good, he's done it a few times.
