Josh Gross: Safe to say the last 22 years in MMA were as dirty as anything could be.

i agree. all these champions will have an asterisk next to their name just like in baseball in the 90s. the ufc needs to bust more high profile people to prove they are out of the steroid era

The asterisk belongs on the sport and promotion companies more than the fighters.

Zuffa sat on their hands as long as they could.
 
i agree with gross

and gross goes too light on mma
 
Gross is one of the best, an MMA O.G. from the PRIDE days. Him giving TJ shit on the old Beatdown shows is what drew me to SRN. Gross is a smart guy, with lots of friends and sources. What is not true about what he has said? PRIDEFC was run by the Yakuza...Zuffa is owned by the Fertita brothers. It is WELL DOCUMENTED that the associates and family of Papa Fertita were notorious Mafia guys. I am not saying that as in conspiracy theory, it is just history. Look at the history of the Fertita family in Galveston, TX...look at where Station Casino first came from. Again, I am not saying anything crazy is going on, just stating a well documented fact. When Papa Fertita got in trouble for money laundering in the 80s, the key witness was offed a few hours after a meeting with Papa Fertita where he said he was going to testify... lots and lots and lots of history about the Fertita family and friends.

I think Shamrock had it right. You dont fix a sport wide problem by going after all the old guys who have been using for 20 years. You go after all the new guys so they learn to train without it and let the sport transition to clean over time.

Its not a problem that going to be fixed overnight, or maybe ever for that matter.

All enhanced testing is going to do is get more people caught; its not going to end the problem.
 
Gross is a terrible reporter.. If that's what you call him
 
blabla Illuminati blabla 9/11 was an inside job blabla Aliens

But seriously, did you change your mind while writing all that gibberish?
You start with

and end your rant with
They were wise guys, but they weren't out being stupid. They had a legit pizza shop, sold some weed on the side, nothing dirty about it. They were good guys, and the neighborhood was clean and safe. So what exactly do you define as dirty, Gross?

For me it would be a journalist with no integrity putting out the results to a show for attention weeks before the end, and then calling them bad guys for banning his ass. Leaking something you were given in good faith, just to boost rating, is classless! Damn the journalists, they are the dirty ones in this country.

So is Gross a pretty cool guy or a scumbag :confused:
 
Well if everyone was doing it, it was a level playing field. Fuck it!

This. Also, I dont believe the government should be allowed to tell you what you can put into your own body.
 
He really really hates MMA, sounds like a townie who moved to the city and now calls small town folk townies, while crying inside
 
Professional sports have PED problems. The less money in the sport, the lower the profile of the sport, the less likely that good, quality testing will happen.

So...

Now that MMA is really on the map in the mainstream and millions are coming through, more stringent testing is happening, and 1+1= Josh Gross being that douchebag at the party who is actually right for once.
 
When millions or hundreds of millions are at stake people will cheat.

IS NORMAL.
 
Did Gross really do that?

Yeah, he reported it like it was a sporting event happening in real time rather than as a reality show being meted out on a weekly basis. This was back when people thought reality tv was the downfall of western civilization, and apparently Gross thought MMA being on reality tv was bs. Gross' decision cost Sherdog its relationship with Zuffa for a long time, and cost his relationship with Zuffa forever.
 
Are you a moron ? no it doesn't. And why you even care, an adult man cant make his own fucking decisions about their own health lol.

They could use legal gear, administered by doctors not some mexi cartel made shit sold and injected by the same guy peddling coke and meth.

It actually helped their health, hgh helps with concussion issues. Other shit is just medicine made to heal people. No shit it heals injuries fast durrr something fighters suffer a ton of in their careers.

Do you have any evidence to support your claim that "hgh helps with concussion issues." I have never read that it is neuroprotective, or can reverse brain damage.
 
Josh is more disappointed in having to use Anderson as the exclamation point rather than someone like McGregor or TJ. And if you see this Josh, you know exactly what I mean, don't you? You self-deceptive hypocrite.
 
He wants a clean sport, but at the same time mma is different from other sports since you pay for every victory and defeat with brain cells. That's why fighters often get a pass for usage.

Roids being rampant also means a more level playing field. It would be worse for records if only the best were caught. If you look at Anderson's competition there are quite a few users.
 
Gross is an MMA reporter who hates MMA. Just Gross.

I can only imagine that gross mother fucker pissing squirt when a fight like JBJ vs Gus or Rory vs Lawler happens.
