why do so many brazillians pop?

[Arne Rud]

wat

They all use, and its more Americans that pop

 

[Arne Rud]

Bahahah you damn fool!

Brazilians are phonier than a three dollar bill. Most their people don't think twice about ripping someone off or doing something illegal if they can benefit from it.

Lol its the truth you fool

 

[JKS]

its becoming harder to become a fan of brazillian mma fighters.

You know there has been like 5x as many US fighters that got busted for PEDs compared to Brazilians, right?

--------------------------
Disclaimer:
* I have no idea if this list is complete, it's just wikipedia
* It includes all MMA orgs, not just UFC
* some cases are totally irrelevant, for example Nick Diaz and Kelvin Gastelum are on there just for weed.

--------------------------
If someone has extra time feel free to cut the list down to UFC fighters only, filter out the irrelevant cases, and compare the percentage of brazilian offenders to the percentage of total brazilians in the UFC.

Jds is brazilian

The american president is a known con-man, cheat and scammer. Don't throw stones when you also live in a glass house.

 

[hot carl]

Brazilians don't pop any more than Americans do.
Sherdoggers just seem to notice when Brazilians pop and don't when Americans do.

Confirmation bias.

 

[campbecc]

Does anyone have the numbers? with the notable exception of Jon Jones people seem to make a much bigger deal on here if it's a Brazilian.

 

[Contra-dictator]

They pop because even in preschool they see things like this.

It must be really hard.

I'm not American.

 

[Fantasy]

Probably because they’re a bunch of filthy dum dums

Well for one you can legally buy steroids in Brazil. You have to do underground deals or know a "doctor" in the US to get the good stuff. Gotta have that Brazilian beach body baby!

 

[caliboi74lv]

In the UFC, Americans cheat more than Brazilians both in absolute numbers and proportionately. There was a sherdogger who compiled the data.

I was gonna ask this. What was the thread? Was this before or after USADA? or just since MMA?

 

[GSP_37]

Probably same reason why UFC employees got robbed prior to the McKenzie Dern event. Thug life. Rules schmules.
