USADA effecting the Heavyweight division?

[Ragnus]

I believe the abundance of drug testing introduced to the UFC of late is affecting all divisions but in my opinion particularly the heavyweight division, i feel at least the athleticism of the heavy weight division is lacking incredibly and i feel like i as a sherdogger should propose a crazy idea, i believe the ufc should reduce the weight limit of the division to possibly 230 or 240, I believe this lack of athleticism is due to the fact many of the fighters in the heavyweight division are overweight, they are carrying weight that generally is not needed, i think in the past the heavyweights were leaner due to a large amount anabolic use, i just dont believe humans can weigh more then 240pounds lean and that the massive amounts of PED usage in professional sports has ruined peoples understanding of human potential...
I am of the belief that basically all professional athletes are on the gear, inb4 conspiracy freak

 

[Ceez]

THink it's more so effecting the whole UFC

heavyweight has been burdened by a lack of legit contenders for a long time now, this didn't happen since USADA

No.

They should raise the HW limit to open weight, or at least 300lbs. This way we would get a ton of college football stars who are too big for the 265lbs limit.

 

[NAS451]

You should see some King of the Cage HW fights... yeeesh

 

[Ragnus]

haha brother comeon college football stars couldnt pass a drug test to save there life man, lets be real they aint just doing a low cycle of testosterone, they are on the whole kit my man

 

[BigMuffler]

So Mark Hunt is not naturally suited to being over 240 while clean? Or Struve? lol

 

[Sonny Qc]

Or allow Roy Nelson to stop his diet

 

[seeyouaunty]

He got found out though, Cain is clean so far

Since the random testing started his cardio turned to garbage, gassed out by the end of round 1. So there is that. But i'm sure it's just a coincidence.

my brother i love mark hunt but this would be a incentive for him to come in fight shape, the guy is overweight, i think mark can be champion if he cuts to 230, i understand its Polynesian culture and the people are all big but damn he'd be a weapon at 230, stephan struve is a outlier man if ufc compensated for all outliers theyd have a 60pound division for midgets, a one leg division and a elbow tumor division, the reason humans are probably reaching 7ft tall is because of the increased growth hormone in people because drug use, whenever someone is sick they prescribe steroids, steroids are used in many medication given for all sorts of things, everyone in this comment section has taken steroids in there life they just dont know it

He has fought once and it was off of a long lay off, lets see how he does in his next fight. He fought bad in the first JDS fight, but came back stronger. Plus it was in Mexico, quite a few fighters gassed on the card, he should of trained there before.

A 230 limit wouldn't work to make guys come in at 230, they would all just cut whatever weight it takes to make 230. You would have guys like Rothwell and Hunt dieting a little and then cut 30 lbs to get in the cage at 260, so you would just reduce the actual maximum weight from about 290 to 260. To enforce an actual in cage weight of around 230... you would have to get rid of the HW class and have the highest class be LHW/205.

Understand weight cutting.

Oh shit......real talk.

Seriously, though, most athleticall elite HW's who could transfer over from other pro sports are too big for the current HW limit.
