MMA before the USADA era will be seen as illegitimate

[Agnawedbone]

Aldo is the youngest ever champion, a legit goat contender, and looks just as good under USADA as he did before. So no, not really.

Do you know why PEDs are illegal? It's not because they improve sports performance (because in that case creatine would also be illegal), it's because they have very serious side effects!!! Read something about that and I guarantee you, you'll change your opinion.

I know they used to have serious side effects on people that abused them, and I'd be opened to read anything you can provide that says modern PEDs with therapeutic use (not abuse) causes serious side effects. Also, what about the PEDs that are legal for non-athletes? Do they too have serious side effects and if so, why are non-athletes allowed to use them?? But you know what does cause serious side effects...getting punched and kicked in the head for a living, suiting up in armor (or not) and running headfirst into another grown man, things like that.

Like I said, I feel one day we are going to find out that these illegal drugs could have actually helped these guys long-term health, and we will look back and think "why were we so stupid?"

pride was the shit. now that's a real sport it's good but different.
pride contract was all like "hey bro we won't be testing for steroids (just to let you know you opponent may be on some jacked-white-boy-shit) do what you think is right"
