Lemme guess you wanna save the whales too right? You have an unrealistic and juvenile view on the world. I once too watched Captain Planet and wanted to save the Earth but then I grew up and realized it isn’t all rainbows and daisies. Now I just sit back and enjoy the simple things, like mma. As a consumer I want the most bang for my buck and I expect to be entertained. That means I want to see the athletes at their peak performance. If they need to take things the average human wouldn’t to help them recover and enhance their abilities then so be it. Steroids aren’t a magic pill but they do amplify the efforts of the individual. Bodybuilders still gotta lift all them heavy ass weights and mma fighters still gotta train their respective martial arts. If you truly wanna see sports in their pure form go watch the Olympics, they are amateurs. Amateur means you don’t get paid and that’s why I’m ok with them being tested stringently. Amateurs are there simply to compete, they aren’t being paid to entertain. Some people stay amateur for long periods such as Lomanchenko and Christina Cruz, but when you go pro it’s a whole new ball game. Like Canello, dude tested positive, an excuse was given and the show went on. There’s simply too much money on the table to let something like a little public perception of PEDs get in then way so they play the game and have “testing” and “consequences” so those who need that reassurance can sleep at night.OK. Let's go back in time and tell everyone in the 1800's that it's okay not to abolish slavery because "people don't really care buddy".
Let's just never change anything in the world because whatever we have is good enough, because "people don't really care buddy".
That attitude is literally cancer to society, and has been used to justify sticking with the status quo. I mean, why bother reducing our carbon emissions? It's easier to do nothing and just stick with the status quo. We'll let other people in the future deal with it, because we're too lazy and/or incompetent to bother.
Anyone that has your attitude is basically human scum, and contributing the degradation of the human race.

Im talking other sports,Nobody really gives a shit about PED's outside of MMA and Baseball. The NFL and NBA are rampant with steroids and most fans could care less. What? You thought athletes like this were built on cornbread and weight sets? Millions of fans watch every week and for the most part nobody cares that these guys are all jacked on PED's.
Im have no clue about NFL and NBA, do they even drugtest randomly like USADA? Im just saying that in many other sports, if you cheat you have destroyed the chance to be GOAT.Nobody really gives a shit about PED's outside of MMA and Baseball.

Yeah but he really took peds, so I consider his career null and void so there's that.
Sorry for keeping it short man, I'm not trying to snark you. It's just anything Jones related is simple as that for me. Hopefully more people will open their eyes soon. There is no room for PED's in contact sports, much less if it's an unlevel playing field (some do, some don't).
Dc should be allowed to juice while Jones should not be allowed.
Fair square? Well.... I think that's mildly naive, with every respect.Jones has already beaten DC 2X fair square. Honestly we don't need that fight again, Danny will forever be a paper champ @ LW
"Conor Mcgregor was an actual double champ"
This fucking guy.
Just saw this on Facebook TS, you beat me to it. Fucker. Gg.
Sure I'll meet you in the middle, just the fights they got caught for. I took then both out of my GOAT talks though. Anderson hurt more than Jon. Jon I recognize his genius in the cage, but he's just I likeable to me. Anderson legit made me sad each time he popped.guess thats where we differ, I don't give a shit about PEDs. I just want to watch good fights and good fighters. His whole career can't be 'tainted' if he was tested a bunch and came back positive for just the DC fights. If you want to say those fights don't count, sure, whatever, I don't agree but at least its reasonable.
That's like saying Anderson's career is null and void because he got caught roiding post injury. He was tested before right? He passed? So those wins should count.
I’m a big fan of dc.

To your point of seeing good fights, I love seeing good fights too. I also like a level playing field though. We already have a case study with TRTor. This shit is serious, the man went from pereniel title contender to Chuckesque chin in one fight.
I believe you.
So what is your opinion on the recent Jones test and then moving an entire fight card so that the show can still go on?Doesn't matter. You're using a fallacy in your argument.
Your argument is basically: "Almost all top athletes have been using steroids, so it's not a big deal and we should just maintain the same system."
Just because that's how things have been, doesn't mean we should keep doing things that way. Do I really need to bring in obvious examples of why you're wrong? The public has spoken, and the majority of people want CLEAN athletes.
