Oh yes...excuses. Rampage was full of them: overtrained, undertrained, A-Team movie, too many energy drinks, Dolce was too mean hiding his candy bars, etc. That's a joke. And I love how the ACL excuse works for Shogun but not GSP and many other UFC fighters who have had serious injuries and multiple surgeries as well. As for Nog, Sylvia was the same age and had suffered plenty of damage as well. Mir had a terrible motorcycle injury and suffered several brutal KO losses before he fought Nog. So those excuses don't fly either.
