So, IVs are going to be banned starting in October View Thread Reply Hide CM Punk (Team Act Yasukawa) !uhdacqdci6 - Wed, 08 Jul 2015 00:14:15 EST s7PHVekK No.56143 File: 1436328855022.jpg -(46609B / 45.52KB, 720x720) Thumbnail displayed, click image for full size. Part of UFC's new drug testing protocols set by USADA. The ban was originally going to go in effect July 1st, but they delayed it because so many people are going to have to move up weight classes that already have fights set. Basically, after this, the dangers of weight cutting are going down to the fighters. We could be seeing some really shitty fights for a few months, come October. The reason IVs are being banned is because they can mask drug testing results, so banning them from weight cuts is a side effect of that.http://www.bloodyelbow.com/2015/7/1/8881077/ufc-drug-testing-policy-usada-iv-ban-grace-period-october-weight-cutting-mma-newsAs for my personal opinion, I know IVs are a really good and safe way to rehydrate, but it's also not natural at all. Weight classes are there to keep people weighing 185/170/205/whatever fighting people in a similar weight, NOT to allow guys to come in 30+ pounds over the weight limit only to try to get most of that weight back the day of the fight. I know boxers do weight cuts too, but this isn't just ten or so pounds we're talking about for most people here.Anthony Johnson is a good example of a guy that weight cutting didn't even give an advantage to, he had losses only in lower weight divisions until DC beat him at 205. And keep in mind there was a time when Rumble's camp actually wanted him to fight at 155 because of the novelty of a fucking heavyweight fighting in the lightweight division. Obviously, it never happened, but the idea of a guy like Rumble trying to drop and recoup so much weight is fucking scary and isn't what the sport should be about.Picture possibly related. I hope she doesn't change weight classes, but she doesn't look like her weight cut is so bad she uses IVs.Oh, and Gilbert Melendez failed his day-of-fight drug test for steroids. Lucky bastard, he failed right before the new protocols and punishments went into effect. 1 posts omitted.

Cain needs to>fire his entire worthless staff, especially the corner guys and coaches>go train with real MMA coaches and not select them by ethnic background but by proven results>learn how to box>stop relying on his push up against the cage strategy when dealing with experienced fighters like Werdum>wait out Werdum's retirement to get the belt back since no chance of beating Werdum without being humiliated again 2 posts omitted.

The Ultimate Fighter: American Top Team vs. Blackzilians View Thread Reply Hide C-Higgy !lfsExjBfzE - Wed, 15 Apr 2015 18:30:29 EST jsuviyD8 No.55653 File: 1429137029355.jpg -(91368B / 89.23KB, 640x640) Thumbnail displayed, click image for full size. Coming off a historic season that saw the crowning of the UFC’s first-ever Women’s Strawweight champion, the next installment of The Ultimate Fighter looks to raise the stakes once again. For the first time in the show’s 10-year history, a gym versus gym format will be introduced pitting fighters from the famed American Top Team against those from Blackzilians, all while living together under one roof in South Florida. It will be a monumental season, as $500,000, the first-ever The Ultimate Fighter Team Trophy and most importantly, ultimate bragging rights, are all up for grabs. The decisions and strategy determined by each team have never impacted the show as much as they will this season. This season features eight rising welterweights from each team who will be selected by their respective gym owner to live in a South Florida house alongside their competition. The fighters will continue to train at their home gym with their own coaches and sparring partners. However, fights will no longer be held at a neutral site and now move to the teams’ respective gyms, always leaving one fighter to compete in enemy territory. Adding to the anticipation ahead of each bout, opponents won’t be known until the weigh-in. The culmination of the season will see two fighters meet at The Ultimate Fighter Finale in summer 2015, where the winning gym will be crowned.The season premieres April 22 at 10pm EDT / 3am BST on Fox Sports 1 and in /mma/tube - http://taima.tv/r/mma. Here are the fighters and coaches for both teams:>American Top Team:*Head Coach: Dan Lambert*Marcelo Alfaya (16-7-1 NC) - Porto Alegre, Brazil *Steve Carl (21-4) - Belle Plain, Iowa *Nathan Coy (14-5) - Vallejo, California *Michael Graves (4-0) - Toledo, Ohio *Hayder Hassan (6-1) - Fort Lauderdale, Florida*Sabah Homasi (8-4) - New Brunswick, New Jersey*Uros Jurisic (5-0) - Ljubljana, Slovenia *Steve Montgomery (8-2) - Florence, South Carolina >Blackzilians:*Head Coach: Glenn Robinson*Valdir Araujo (14-5) - Gama, Brazil*Carrington Banks (3-0) - Peoria, Illinois *Luiz Buscape (16-5) - Joao Pessoa, Brazil*Jason Jackson (4-2) - Kingston, Jamaica*Vicente Luque (7-4-1) - Westwood, New Jersey*Andrews Nakahara (4-2-2) - Mogi das Cruzes, Brazil*Felipe Portela (8-2) - Brasilia, Brazil*Kamarudeen Usman (5-1) - Auchi, Nigeria 11 posts and 3 images omitted.

Top tier fighters are never going to be on the show anymore (unless it's a women's division season, for now) and the show's simply not going to be entertaining because of it. I caught up on the show and every episode Dana is bitching about how he wants these guys to "go for broke" in their fights, which makes absolutely no sense for the guys since they're all very low quality fighters to begin with AND they have to think about how they're going to potentially fight again in a few weeks. If they stopped their expansion and started holding back on seasons until they find some real talent, maybe TUF could be a cornerstone of UFC programming again. But that'll never happen as long as they're putting on shows every single week and have to fill in contractually obligated air time.Now, I know what three or four people reading my thoughts are thinking. "Wasn't it Chris Leben pissing on a bed the real reason TUF got popular?" Of course. The problem is, that was pushing boundaries ten years ago. Reality TV has so thoroughly eroded the fabric of society that Felice Herrig can show her cooter on cable television and it's no big deal. And it appears that this season's big "shock" moment was a dude having a fucking seizure on camera. That didn't shock or interest me. It appalled me. The man was close to fucking dying and the camera man's first thought isn't, "HOLY FUCKING SHIT, I NEED TO GET THIS MAN SOME HELP", no, it's "I NEED TO GET THIS ON CAMERA". Fuck Reality TV. >> Don Frye - Sun, 07 Jun 2015 02:06:19 EST dxwHbs/9 No.56081 Reply Just got caught up on the whole season.

It's like watching them wade through slow motion, and you can pick nearly any top 15 WW to demolish most of these guys in minutes. Also, anyone else prefer how they capture video/audio for TUF compared to the production of other UFC events? Feels more raw, true to life, and the audio capturing strikes is better. >> Heath Herring - Mon, 08 Jun 2015 09:57:57 EST XZLMTFM6 No.56084 Reply >>56081>Also, anyone else prefer how they capture video/audio for TUF compared to the production of other UFC events?

A really interesting observation for sure; I'll have to watch some episodes now.
