Least we finally got this information because we know they like to withhold it for certain individuals

I'm actually not familiar with Zviad, but Carlos was a decentish looking "prospect" by the low standards of the modern Heavyweight division. Solid cardio for a big guy, okay pressure boxing, lots of volume, not afraid to clinch up and dirty-box. Not on the same level of Aspinall/Gane/etc. but he looked like he had potential to maybe crack the Top 15 be a fringe ranked guy one day. But like Boser, he fell short against the most elite of gatekeepers (though many people thought he won that fight, myself not included). Now I'm wondering if there was anything remotely special about his game to begin with, especially considering he barely scraped by in a few of those Decisions as it was. What a shame, Heavyweight needs all the fresh blood it can get.
See ya, Carlos.
See ya, Carlos.
Brazil has an obvious history of using PEDs in MMA, but I would like to point out that there is some kind of serious doping programs going on in Georgia. Look at athletes like Levan Saganashvili in armwrestling, or Lasha Talakhadze in olympic weight lifting. They are some of the most egregious examples of heavy steroid/TRT use on the planet.

Felipe might get cut you know. He got a 2yr ban the second the UFC signed him IIRC, now another 18month ban....

Ha ha, well Josh Barnett pissed hot a shitload and he often looked a bit tubby (great fighter though)
