Wasn't as bad of a card as I thought. Low stakes (outside of title fight) with quite a few unranked fighters but there was at least decent action.

It wouldn't surprise me if any fighter on this planet was using besides BJ Penn, Roy Nelson, Jon Fitch, and maybe the Diaz bros.

But what made you make that statement, out of curiosity?

edit: And probably Machida, just because he derives his power from something much more powerful than HGH/TRT/EPO...Dragon Urine. :D


It wouldn't surprise me if BJ Penn, Roy Nelson, Jon Fitch, the Diaz brothers, and Machida were all using performance enhancing drugs.

Oh please.

Man, sucks Soto had to do 5 rounds, on 30 hrs notice. I was really hoping he wouldn't get KOd. Think it's almost classless of TJ to have that much dominance and to still be throwing headkicks in the 5th (an unpop opinion, I'm sure). He even threw a late punch...was standing up, having felt Big John, and still threw a final shot.

Not the first time he has pulled that crap. He definitely likes getting in those extra few shots on an unconscious opponent, at least it seems that way to me.

BJ doesn't appear to exercise, nevermind need to increase his recovery time between sessions.

Soto put on a fine performance for ultra-late notice and against the best BW in the world at that. Did an admirable job and considering most probably thought he would get starched early and do well until the 5th round goes to show the competitor that he is.

He could use PEDs when he's motivated. He relaxes in paradise for 11 months, and uses PEDs and trains hard a month before his fight. If that story came out, I wouldn't be surprised. Professional athletes are competitive, and look for edges.
