Onnit's products are peer reviewed by such scientists as Bro Rogan and Mike Brolce.

Are there stats or studies that show Onnit is bad for people? I don't know that much about Onnit, but from my understanding it's a legit company whose products have passed clinical studies.

And Sonnen being pro Onnit while saying Science is crap and scientists don't collect a paycheck makes no sense because Onnit has scientists.

They have a qazillion products, I'm not sure how many have been tested directly in double blinds. Corticep mushrooms from Nepal or whatever have been tested for improving oxygen production but those are not the exact strain in Shroomtech, for example. And like Dolce Whey, lol. And Hemp Force has nothing unique that you couldn't get in hemp protein for half the price. Gimmick.

I don't know anything about Onnit, but it's not uncommon at all for supplements to be totally fake (some studies say a third of all supplements some say much more). And then many aren't actually very useful even if they have what they say they have in them.

Any chance it's a brilliant strategy to distract from Rousey/Browne?

And now, a completely not shocking headline:

Jason 'Mayhem' Miller arrested for alleged assault of officer

Post #46 » by **Headliner** » Sun Oct 18, 2015 12:36 am

Miller is a tool.

I remember arguing with pretty much everyone here about how I thought he was far worse a person than Bisping during that season of TUF. He was putting on a nice guy act, but you could really tell he was an **** behind it all. He would was a huge douche that got the good reality show cut, but even then you could see through his BS. The way he handled stuff made me wonder about him.

He's mentally deranged. It's a shame he wont get help, I have no doubt that he'll end his own life or Suicide by cop someday.

UFC trimming their roster. They have reportedly cut 22 fighters in the last few days alone, and its rumored they have cut or will cut 50 total.

Guys like Soa, Brimage, Sadollah, lots of guys I've not heard of.

Sadollah

I thought Soa retired? Anyways, they needed to trend some people.

He was cut then retired I think.

I disagree with that cut actually. HW sucks, he was 4-2 based on the sherdog article I read. Not a bad fighter, was beating Bigfoot IIRC but the bell rang.

With us complaining about cards being watered down, I guess the news that the UFC cut guys we've never heard of is good news.

Andrei Arlovski vs. Stipe Miocic set for co-main event of UFC 195

Rothwell got screwed.

REDDzone · Post #57 » by **REDDzone** » Wed Oct 21, 2015 10:00 pm

Absolutely. IMO the fight should have been Arlovski/Rothwell from the start.

cowboyronnie · Post #58 » by **cowboyronnie** » Wed Oct 21, 2015 10:13 pm

I'm surprised to Google Arlo's record and see it's got so much damn green. And even a couple finishes against top fighters. Cos watching the guy's actual fighting, I don't think of him as that fearsome. I wouldn't pick him against any of those top dudes, including against dudes I see that he has just beaten. Probably my issue of perception. There are so many destroyers, guys whose participation in an upcoming fight leads me thinking, 'oh ****!' in excitement. Rothwell and Stipe are two of those dudes. Arlo? Short arms, a lot of footwork...I don't know. I guess just cos it's not sensational, esoteric technique like a Dillashaw or JJ doesn't mean it's not super technical.

Lol, you are going to think I'm just being facetious but his last fight vs Manny was super fun to watch, at least for a grappling nerd.

New Jersey to experiment with MMA judges in soundproof room watching fights on monitor
