Someone didn't get the "wear black clothes" memo.
On Luke saying where is the evidence that PEDs make fighters more dangerous? Well kind of hard to design a controlled trial where on group bashes each other in the head without steroids and the other group does it with. You can't ethically study this empirically. So you have to look to basic physiology and common sense: if you are on steroids you hit harder and faster, increasing the velocity of your punches/kicks, which obviously results in more head trauma. Also you will be able to sustain an attack for longer periods of time because it will help your cardio. Even if knockouts are going up in the USADA period, that isn't a reliable fact to form an opinion off of: other factors could be explaining this including: more extreme weightcutting, fighters improving over time thus making them more dangerous. Additionally it isn't clean if a clean knockout is worse for you than multiple small concussions where you are conscious getting beat on for a sustained period of time.
I'm guessing CrAzY Frog was the dingdingdingding reference 4:45
The UFC has to get rid of USADA. USADA is based on gym-bro-science. It is not scientific. Go to their website, they say it themselves. The way they decide which substances should be banned is based on what gym-bros are doing. LOL
Max Kellerman is so stiff. He is not going to bring in new viewers.
Luke cries so much. Come on marine.
Why does Luke hate that guy so much. I don't like him either but I'm curious as to why Luke seems to have an extreme dislike for him.
