Rogan podcast...

Man, would Rogan STFU with his biological theories and let Ferris talk?! Ferris has had to be dead silent for the majority of the podcast cos Rogan has been on some ridiculous tangent.

Who are they talkig about when they talk about guys going to China to get crazy procedures done? Overeem, Randy... they mention someone putting on 40 pounds of muscle in a matter of months. Wanderlei for the OWGP? There are multiple guys, evidetly.

Yea, I like Ferris too, he seems to be well rounded and knows a lot about a lot, which is cool. There were many parts of that where I just wanted Rogan to stfu with his stoner babble.

Didn't he say something like "guys from the old days" went to China? I guess I don't know why, but I was thinking the first generation of dudes, although I guess Wand would certainly qualify as one from the old days, so not sure why I had that impression. Like I wouldn't really be surprised if it was some Hammer House or Lion's Den dudes I guess.

Didn't Kerr mention China in The Smashing Machine? I seem to recall that he did.

REDDzone · Post #1045 » by **REDDzone** » Fri Feb 1, 2013 3:39 pm

Good call on Kerr. I can picture him with a gut, too. Not sure if that was just after the breakdown and he had just atrophied and gotten kind of fat.

God, Kerr and Coleman were just such beasts back in the day. Would have been cool to see those guys fight. Did they compete at adcc or something? I can't remember.

It would have been fun to just see them headbutt eachother repeatedly, though.

Bones calling for Overeem in HW debut!

Oh man, what a fight that would be.

Man, I'm sure there's a place in Milwaukee where you could see drug addicts headbutt eachother.

Why would the article just off-handedly mention Bones wants to fight Reem and not actually give the quote? Weird.

I think I'm one of the more skeptical people about Bones at hw. Don't get me wrong, HW sucks and he smashed 99% of them. But I see the top guys giving him problems: Cain/JDS/Overeem, maybe a few more guys.

I still think his best option, instead of HW in 2013-2014, is to meet Cormier at a catch weight in order to work himself up. But that's also advantageous for Cormier, and I imagine Bones and his camp know that.

Overeem eats his **** for breakfast.

Gold Chain · Post #1051 » by **Gold Chain** » Fri Feb 1, 2013 6:14 pm

Yeah, on second reading, I feel like the "author" took some liberties, but I think it is based on a Q and A answer from Bones.
(I am too busy trying to fire in Rudy Gay info

)

Either way, this is a fight I'd love to see down the line.

cowboyronnie · Post #1054 » by **cowboyronnie** » Fri Feb 1, 2013 9:30 pm

he'd for sure have therapeutic exemption, so to be failing the test his levels would have to be way up...he was likely the guy with legal use at UFC152 (acknowledged but unnamed by the commission). and there's no way after so much abuse that he can produce it naturally, so a script would be easy to get.

Vitor when questioned if he uses TRT:

If a question is private, I have the choice to answer or not. If I make it public, it’s not private anymore. If I want to say something private I will say it, but I keep to myself and I respect the laws of the sport. Whatever the organization, whatever the law — they know what to do. This is too controversial, why am I going to say something that doesn’t accomplish anything? If it’s legal, they know what to do. If it’s legal, there’s nothing to say about it. It’s legal.

Would've been quicker to just say "yes".

Just listen to her talk for 5 minutes and you will want that independent of Dana's silliness.

UFC ‏@ufc
Dana says that Anthony Pettis texted him 10 mins ago and said he wants to move down to 145 to fight Jose Aldo at featherweight.
