Sorry but the main difference between PED use in MMA and other sports is that in MMA you can train like superman and get KTFO or sub'd in round one by a guy with better skill. In other sports you're doing basically the same thing you do in practice. But in MMA, practice and competition are two different things. It doesn't matter how fast you can run or how much you can lift, if your opponent can catch you early or take you into deep waters and drown you. I guess you can say that there are some very high skill guys who use or used PEDs, but I think you can count them on one hand when you compare those guys who are still average and lose quite often on them. And I look at Fedor and how he may have been one of the few clean HW fighters in pride, and how he destroyed and dominated guys we knew were on steroids. Those with skills and mental toughness will win fights more so than those without it.

"I don't call the fighting in my films 'violent', I call it 'action'. An action film borders between fantasy and reality. If I were to be completely realistic in my films, you would call me a violent, bloody man. I would simply destroy my opponent by tearing his guts out. I wouldn't do it so artistically." ~Bruce Lee  |
