Reminder: green Jon Jones completely ran over prime Ryan Bader

[AfroBanana]

I know a man who murdered prime Ryan Bader.

If you people were honest and instantly DQ'd roid cheats, neither would Bones.

If you DQ'd people who honestly use PEDs, no one would know the names of the top 5 in any division in any sport.

 

[melans]

Jones has tested positive for three different banned PEDs and now has a license to "pulse".

I{ have no doubt that Jones has used turinabol, but clomiphene and letrozole and not performance enhancing.

But they are used post-steroid cycle to stop your test/estrogen levels going out of wack.

I'm sure he wasn't just taking them for fun.

Bader out of USADA is crazy strong
guys in most mma organisation and kickboxing are juicing

Sonnen recently mentioned his EPO intake, this give you crazy cardio
EPO is really the best PED ever, because it allow to train harder longer, and get stronger
it is like you never get really tired

all the world records in track and field from 1500m to marathon have reached crazy levels thanks to EPO

Sweet!

Didn't piss hot in the Bader fight, pre- USADA!

 

[ermac88]

The ufc wasn't interested in giving him a title shot even when he earned one. Same with Corey Anderson and Gegard Mousasi

Unlikley, but he would have been smashed by Jones, again.

Now he can beat up Fedor, multiple times.

 

[Izzysexboyfriend]

Jon was 23. Bader 27.

It's like saying Fedor wasn't in his prime in 2004. Come on...

Bader was still green in mma. Both started mma at the same time. Jones was surely on roids then too, even Colby admitted he used them in college.

 

[Credo]

Drugs are one helluva drug

 

[Quietus]

DC ran him over worse verbally when he said "I want the easiest fight in the division.. I want Ryan Bader"

 

[TheBulge]

You're pathetic. This would be like taking a victory lap for Belfort beating the shit out of Holyfield. You have cognitive dissonance,

Bader would have done the same to any version of Fedor. Keep crying.

 

[Stagliano]

Roids are a helluva drug…

If you just have to take roid to run through elite fighters at 22 yo then I should have started mma years ago.

 

[Stagliano]

Steroids are a helluva drug

LMAO!!!!

How dare you say that with your av?

 

[deadshot138]

Bader would have done the same to any version of Fedor. Keep crying.

No way. Machida starched Bader. Fedor with even a hint of his old hand speed would KO Bader.

 

[Thepaintbucket]

Bader was a lot more one dimensional when Jon fought him and Bader fought a nearly peak version of Jon Jones

 

[TheBulge]

No way. Machida starched Bader. Fedor with even a hint of his old hand speed would KO Bader.

Fedor had zero TDD and no bottom game other than a standard armbar that everybody can defend against in this day and age.

Bader beats your idol's best version with ease. On the ground or standing, as he would finish what Fujita, a pro wrestler, almost did.

 

[Westbrick]

It's MMA bro, Bader wasn't close to his prime, Jones too.

 

[MeganFan]

Bader is a lot better now than he was in the UFC. Like others have commentated, he was green when he fought Jones.

Some people come into their prime later in their careers, Bader is one of them. Coming from a wrestling background it took him a while to put everything together in MMA. He is in his prime now, at 39. Weird, I know.

Bader couldn't KO Eric Schafer. Prime Fedor would eat the punches like candy.

Y'all talking about Badger being in his prime at 27 don't know what you're talking about. That is true for athletic prime which most people feel is 25 to early 30s. Athletic prime means you can run the fastest, jump the highest, recover the fastest, at this age. It doesn't have to do with skills.

MMA is a different beast because it requires so many skills: striking, wrestling, and grappling. Just because you're good at one skill doesn't mean you're good at another. It also doesn't mean if you're good at 2 skills that you're able to seamlessly blend the 2 together.

That is what makes the great fighters so great, they can mix in striking with say takedowns so well their opponent doesn't see it coming. GSP was a great example of this, he was able to take down accomplished wrestlers because of it.
