rules for the night of the fight are irrelevant to juicing in preparation for the fight

if you want no testing, go to WWE

All of the PRIDE guys were natty,

whatchu talkin bout?

 

[ImNotSurpisedDonks!]

UFC guys win across the board, but Reem may be able to beat the current Glover. Also, are both allowed roids?

Well technically it's Glover from 3 years ago vs 2005 Undereem

And yes it's PRIDE rules, so anything goes.

 

[Uncommon Valor]

Jones/Rampage/Rumble/Gus/Nog/Overeem/Bader.

Rampage/DC is a close one, actually.

 

[Medical Marijuana Man]

Should've made Bader vs Hendo

 

[Taric]

Wand over a juiced Rumble?

Between Wand and Rumble Wand has beaten the better fighter in Rampage.
The most elite fighters Rumble has beaten are Gus and Bader, and Gus has beaten absolutely nobody.

 

[Andre Xiong]

Wand over a juiced Rumble?

In this scenario, It is Juiced Wand cutting from upwards of 220 pounds with popping veins and bulging shoulders though

 

[Big Tuppy Hole]

Assuming no drug testing

1. Jon Jones
2. Daniel Cormier
3. Wanderlei Silva
4. Alexander Gustafsson
5. Lil Nog
6. Alistair Overeem
7. Kevin Randleman

Randleman was doing nothing around that time, besides his win over Cro Cop (great win and a huge upset) he hadnt won a meaningful bout in years

 

[Croton]

1. Jon Jones
2. Daniel Cormier
3. Rumble Johnson
4. Alexander Gustafsson
5. Lil Nog
6. Alistair Overeem
7. Ryan Bader

 

[LouisBolanos]

Randleman was doing nothing around that time, besides his win over Cro Cop (great win and a huge upset) he hadnt won a meaningful bout in years

He'll destroy Bader with athleticism like he did Cro Cop. Bader can't deal with his burst athleticism, and his wrestling is neutralized.

 

[Big Tuppy Hole]

He'll destroy Bader with athleticism like he did Cro Cop. Bader can't deal with his burst athleticism, and his wrestling is neutralized.

He lost to Saku and was out wrestled by ninja Rua, Bader would out work him and Kev would crumble.

Kev was Japanese can crushing and a pro wrestling side show at this point in his career.

 

[Blayt7hh]

No one in this list beats Jones obviously. I think Shogun from 2005 could beat just about anyone else on that list though save maybe DC. I definitely think he could beat Gus, since he gave him a difficult enough time in his busted up old age.

 

[Bubblun]

7-0 for the 2015 UFC, easy peasy.
