    It's possible, I always thought he was relatively clean compared to the aforementioned names; could be wrong.

    It never surprises me when some UFC fighters get caught, this is the most competitive MMA organization, the highest level.

    Halotestin tho... Lol that's kinda crazy, maybe it's more common than I thought. I first heard about it over 20 years ago.

    Yeah, if true, they are consistently getting around USADA. Romero was in his forties already when he left UFC.

  4. I won all three (touts) but ofc they were all heavy faves. No surprises for me. Pena was a paper champion with a laughably weak team (sparring, coaching) save for the judo guy, but what can he offer other than color on Harrison?

    Pena and Gastelum should retire. Sean is great but will be overshadowed by Merab. He's colorful (literally) but he's not going to get boxing shots. He's too much kickboxer and in his division he has no answer for Merab's takedowns. He'll have to move up a class.

    Gastelum took some ending shots and survived. He either needs to retire or cut weight. Doesn't seem right at middleweight.

    Yeah, would be interesting if Sean went up a class, although it's probably not easy there for him either.

  6. Merab's fights aren't going to be a draw outside of another rematch and why bother as Sean was healthy and got stopped. The division is pretty dead now as they go through the rankings.

    Yeah, I agree. Merab vs Umar rematch and Sandhagen, but who else is there at Bantamweight.

    Looking forward to Topuria vs Oliveira and Du Plessis vs Chimaev.
