Chael will be the first 240lb light heavyweight fighter

[purpleheart]

Okay, you cannot be loaded up with "TRT" or inject "TRT" into yourself. "TRT" is short for testosterone replacement therapy. It's for people with naturally lower levels of testosterone. Chael Sonnen actually has a disease called hypogonadism, and he has to undergo this therapy just to survive. So yes, tell me how Chael Sonnen has an unfair advantage over a man with who is a weight class bigger and owns the longest reach in UFC history again?

HAHAHHAHA a therapy to survive? I think you didnt really get it.

Chael gets steroids from his doctor , and its allowed.

Truely amazing how many white knights there are around who keep claiming the TRT squad have a major disadvantage because the accepted levels are so ''low''.

Meanwhile they put on 25lbs lean mass in 3 months haha................

Oh so should we now give Nate Diaz a title shot vs GSP? He's a top 5 lightweight and just lost a title shot there.

Compared to Fedor, compared to Jones, Sonnen absolutely sucks. He will get destroyed so badly I don't even think he'll be able to continue his career after the beatdown he'll receive on April 27th.

That's fine. But for ANYONE to say Sonnen "sucks" is either slow, doesn't watch MMA or doesn't understand MMA.

I don't believe hes 240lbs ripped. It's just dolce hyping up his amazing diet.

that's terrible logic.

You can't decide someone sucks COMPARED to the best fighters in the division...

Going by that logic, virtually every fighter in mma sucks... compared to anderson/gsp/jones

but as an mma fighter in general, Chael Sonnen is great and has had a great career, especially post sports-psychologist where he dominated okami (something prime rich franklin couldn't do)

and dominated nate marquardt. and dominated anderson for 4.5 rounds

You would be wrong. Rampage and Tito came in around 220lb to 225lb. There is a reason the old heavyweight limit is around 235lb, most heavyweights couldn't cut to the lower division.

Chael, TRT and his nutritionist are the reasons Chael can cut from 240lb to fight Jones.

TRT can't stop elbows from cutting his head.

 

[atl2006]

Sonnen really is a good fighter, that said it is going to take more than being a good fighter to even be competitive with Jones.

If Sonnen doesn't want to embarrass himself when he fights Jones, he is going to have fight better than he ever has to make it competitive.

 

[Snowy1]

Chaels frame can't carry 240 pounds. Even if his ripped and 240 he is going to be way to heavy for his frame and quite slow.

I doubt he even weights 240..Its all hype!

 

[Candide]

Tito was the first fighter I remember ever bragging about his walking weight. Not so sure about that.

 

[DrHouse]

I highly doubt he weighs 240 and is ripped right now, I even highly-er doubt he would be able to enter the cage at 240.

 

[markg171]

Didn't Thiago Silva weigh like 250 before he fought Machida? I know he said he had to lose like 52lbs before one of his fights

 

[thedevious]

What a dumb way to put it... as if it's some accomplishment.

 

[kallebaah**]

You need to study up on TRT. Those 100mg a week doses are some serious mass builders haha

You are one ignorant bastard if you really think Sonnen would settle for testosterone dosage as low as 100mg /week

 

[Horse Meat]

If weight meant ANYTHING in MMA guys like Zuluzinho would be the greatest fighters ever.

Yeah fuck weightclasses. Weight doesn't mean ANYTHING.

 

[Trollinator]

They get whatever dose the doctor thinks is relevant, not necessarily 100mg. To fight in the UFC your T to E ratio needs to be under 4:1 so finding a doctor that gets you close to that would be in your best interest without breaking any rules. Furthermore any fighter with a TRT exempetion doesn't even need to follow the 4:1 ratio, so it's hard to know from a pee test what Chael's actual testosterone rating is.

The system is easy to cheat anyway. When justin gatlin (former 100m sprint world record holder) tested possible he had a .8:1 rating. At the moment the athletic commission shouldnt even bother testing because they are either morons or greedy pricks not willing to dish out the cash for a proper doping testing protocol.

 

[apoth]

No matter how big he gets, he's going to get decimated by Jones.

 

[Gunny]

Exaggerations abound. I heard Chael himself say he was 215 in a recent interview.

 

[wlu29]

forrest and chuck and rampage have been there

 

[SinisterSpider]

sonnen is going to get lit up by jones
