In B4 The Ronda Knights of Latter Day Saints claiming Cyborg is big solely owing to her past steroid use, nothing to do with genetics, biology, aging and hardwork.....ooops....too late!
In other news, what is up with the hypocrisy of shining a giant light on Cyborg for using roids and not Ronda for habitually taking pain pills and smoking pot? They say the brain is more powerful than the body and smoking weed and taking pain pills rewires your brain, not the body, gives you training advantages and lowers your threshold to pain. Sure, one can make the argument that the effects of pain pills only lower the threshold while on pain pills and that your threshold lowers during withdrawals/non use...however, go down the road 6 months, 1 year, 2 years after a habitual user has quit and the pendulum has swung back in the favor of a lower threshold, the yo-yo effect.
You simply can't point out the facts that support your claim and ignore facts that contradict it. The fact is, nearly all high level athletes have doped or tampered with their brain's chemistry to optimize performance. Athletes at an Olympic level don't get caught as regularly, because they have the means and resources available to use the latest methods that are one step ahead of the latest testing procedures (see Angel Herdeia). This hypocrisy is akin to sending petty criminals to jail for 20 years letting billion dollar fraud jobs of the hook with a slap on the wrist.
Using Cyborg's use of stanozolol as a reason to prevent the only legitimate challenge that Rousey could ever face in MMA is not rational, and highly hypocritical. In fact, it is nothing more than using for a mentally weak, child-like excuse to protect your subjectively, emotionally fueled idea that Rousey is the best, without needing to prove it (see children's fantasy). And, if she is as good as many purport, there should be no problem with taking a fight at 15 pounds less than her natural weight and competing against someone who was a volleyball player, not a lifelong martial artist, like herself.
Making lofty claims without be willing to prove it, even going to length of avoidance, is what do you call it??....cowardice?.... fraud? Certainly, if a company sold a product and claimed it could do one thing, knowing full well that it could not, or had no will to perform said task, the company would be sued and would go bankrupt. Has the air brushing and the Hollywood facade influenced us so greatly that we have let go of our sense of fairness and truth? Is this facade and our personal emotions important enough to us that we are willing to piss on the foundation of martial arts and the very thing that has made MMA great and turned boxing to shite???
