Petr Yan’s highly improved cardio

We have now seen three fighters improve their strength and cardio significantly and they all got ties to Russia…
Who are the other two?

I’m not saying he’s on it but I wouldn’t be surprised as they were caught systemically cheating the Olympics by swapping out their dirty athletes tests.
 
I’m not aware who all fight out of there? Merab and Aljo, who else?

Aljo, who looks SUS as fuck.
Merab, with superb cardio.
Weidman, who while I eternally thank for besmirching Anderoid, had a very sus fall off around USADA.

I don't think accusing Petr of roid use when he fights those guys is fair at all dude.

The two other are champions who recently have gone up in the weight class and won belts.

Russia and peds are old friends.

Olympics have fuck all to do with MMA. That's been an asinine talking point. There is no state program for MMA fighters lol.

No one accused anything. It’s you who is accusing fighters.

Are we suspicious of Periera, or Ilia here?

;)

How naive do you have to be to think there are less PEDs in the US or in Brazil for example.

What’s sus about Aljo?
Weidman I agree, I didn’t remember that he was from that camp. But in his case it could also have been age and wear.

Google says:

Yes, Russia sponsors MMA fighters through state-affiliated entities, sovereign wealth funds, and powerful regional figures like Chechen leader
Ramzan Kadyrov, who runs the influential Akhmat MMA Club as a propaganda tool, offering stipends, training, and lavish gifts to fighters who often feed into the UFC
 
You two are literally implying roid use. Don't act stupid when someone calls you out on it.
I didn’t imply anything all I said was could Russian creatine cause something like that. I honestly don’t know much about PED’s.

It was just weird how such an improvement was made in a short time. Hats off to Yan regardless.

Well it's a good thing Petr has absolutely nothing to do with Kadyrov then, isn't it?

I’ll leave that for the reader to interpret.
Some have better access to ped programs than others, that’s for sure.

His ridiculous physique, for one.

I mean I fully believe 95% of the roster is on "something" but there are varying degrees of abuse.
PEDs are commonplace in any even remotely competitive US gym; everyone who has been in one knows it.

I can't speak about personal experience with Brazilian gyms but given how many fighters they pump out and how many of them have either failed tests or look jacked as all fuck I think its laughable to conclude they have a hard time getting their hands on the good stuff.
 
Both Merab and Yan are both quite likely on some shady supplements. The playing field is level at the championship level. Everyone's doing something.

Tbh, I think his physique is pretty much just a typical black athlete physique.

And I do agree with your last sentence.
