I like it.

Although, because it is Vitor in Brazil, he'll be juiced to the gills again......

Luke is in tough here.
HUGE for his career if he can beat him. (Hope he does)

Unfortunately, I'm going to take the guy on TRT.

TRT Vitor will smash Rockhold due to mma math.

Bisping claims to have babied Rockhold, Vitor dispatched Bisping with relative ease. Can't miss analysis.

HAHA!

Bisping's striking is rated highly by he himself.

Luke did beat Jacare, so he can beat quality guys, but TRT Belfort with his hawk is a tall glass of buttermilk.

Its going to be hard to deny TRT Belfort another title shot if he knocks off guys like Bisping and Rockhold on the regular.

Yeah, but there's going to be a similar result in potential title fight.

Anderson is so much smarter than this guy, he'll have Vitor beat by the weigh-ins again.

Jesus needs to up Vitor's testy-ostery-roney naturally.

Anyways, how does Rockhold win this?

He doesn't, basically. It'll look exactly like the Bisping fight when Rockhold feels the power of a man with two dozen artificial testicles.

Its not possible for a surfer dude to beat an old lion.

Much less a young dinosaur.

This should be an interesting fight. I'm guessing the winner is probably at the front of the line for a title shot. Vitor's only losses since 2007 are against current reigning champions and Rockhold, as the SF champ should get a title shot if they were planning on giving it to Bisping if he beat Vitor.

Vitor is getting dangerously close to being that guy who just picks off contenders but can't really challenge for the belt.

no interest in watching Chea-tor against anyone not themselves on TRT, it's not a fair fight.

anyone know, he can come in with those crazy levels on the testosterone spectrum that the commissions allow? 6x the average or whatever they are? but he can do it while having metabolites from whatever's he's taken too. just completely defeats that 6x allowance, which only exists in case there might be natural freaks out there. in fact, it exists at 6x cos there's just no possible way it can be hit naturally, hence the presumption of guilt if it's ever touched even if no direct sign of pharmaceuticals.

I wonder if American AC's won't grant the exemption cos he's failed a test within the States (Cali, I believe). Hence Brazil and Canada in his past three. Or coincidence, just as possible.

I swear, back when everyone was in a trt frenzy over Chael, I remember the doctor guy who used to come on Mauro's podcast all the time say that the natural ratio for the test/epitest was 1:1 and the highest you'd practically ever see is like 1.2 to 1. Why they go 6 I'll never understand. From what that dude was saying (Dr. Benjamin?), it would be essentially never that you would see someone get up to 2:1.

yeah, its high. but its then safe to punish the dudes even if you dont detect anthing synthetic in their blood. if it were 3:1, the guy's lawyer might have an argument or whatever. 4:1, 5:1...we're already probably high enough to punish. but Im only a doctor when it comes to the 3 dwarf hamsters in my living room.

I too think TRT Vitor has this. Rockhold is overrated with the questionable Jacare win, he's got questionable striking defense, not quite the wrestling to take TRT Vitor down, and TRT Vitor also has the bigger power.

Is TRT Vitor becoming the face of FX? They had him headlining the previous FX and it scored record viewership.

Philippou/Jacare added.


Oh hot damn!

I got Jacare as the much better fighter, but it's not a good match-up for him. Theoretically Costa could keep it on the feet and possibly outbox him.

You don't know why it would be allowed.....that's adorable.

If you listen to Dana he loves TRT. That's all you need to know.

Even if they allow it, the ratio is too much.

He'll get away with as much as he can, just like Bud Selig.

RZ, I miss you on the Bellator threads.
