UFC 239 Thoughts

i agree that Holm is getting another title shot cheaply but i've thought for a while now that she could grind a decision vs Nunes, i think she will be the underdog so i'm definitely sticking some dosh on that one!

 

 

Holm has never been knocked out so Nunes is here and is going to make a statement.

Holm wins via decision.

 

somebody would have to look this up, but I think with the exception of Raquel Pennington (who isn't known for her exceptional cardio) Nunes hasn't finished a fight outside of round 1... so unless Holm gets rocked really early, which isn't impossible but I heavily lean towards the technical level of Holm. Holm gave Cyborg a run for 5 rounds. Nunes got lucky caught her with a donkey punch. If Cyborg had chose to fight rather than brawl, I don't think Nunes could of went 5 rounds with Cyborg.

 

 

 

Jones wins via submission or GNP TKO.

Valentina is a beast, but she is the same beast that got tired vs a 115 lb girl. Also the same beast that was too tired to get off the stool for one of her fights. Holm vs Shev was a close fight iirc. If I had to bet today I think Nunes loses a decision vs Holm, unless Holm has really aged and slowed down over the last few years or Nunes uses her juice muscles to grapple Holm and take her down.

 

 

Make no mistake about it. Nunes is on the juice. She's brazilian, and she's on the good stuff. Like all the dirty lil athletes down there. Name one Brazilian UFC champion who hasn't popped for PED's... and before you say Aldo... research.

Antônio Rodrigo Nogueira. Interim titles count right? Actually they really don't. And I'm not even sure if he's popped or not. Fine, you win.

Lil Nog was on the sauce. I'd say good chance Big Nog was on the sauce, especially in the PRIDE days.

 

 

 

The 1st time Anderson Silva was ever tested out-of-competition, he pissed dirty. That entire country is on the juice.

If we're actually talking popped, Rua, Barao. Machida did pop, but that was very iffy.

Gdr? Ketlen Viara?

Didn't GDR vacate at FW to avoid cyborg? I wouldn't be giving her another shot anytime soon, if she even wants any of nunes.

Ketlen hasn't fought in 12 months but after another top 5 girl to shake the rust a little. GDR vs Ketlen for the next shot would be nice!

 

I agree Holly for a title bout is pushing it, but she was the champ. and it is the womens division, it isn't as deep as the mens div yet

Yes, he got cleared later when it was found out a Brazilian supplement company was putting illegal stuff in their products. Noguira and De Lima took their sups frim the same company

Is that the out of competition diuretic test though? I wouldn't count that as juicing.

 

shit how companies do that, you guys ever looked at the usada supplements warning list for products that are still commercially available? there's a fuckton!

small supplements companies to beat testing is one of the oldest and simplest trick in the book. 1. Set up supplement company. or find supplement company that has product with similar compounds to what you wan to use 2. Ensure supplement has similar chemical compound to what you are taking. 3. If you pop, blame it on the supplement

 

If you pop for tainted supplement, you are on the juice (as are all of them), Its easier to get testosterone than a protein shake at a pro gym

 

This has been going on for years
