It's not like roids are some magic juice that makes you succeed. GSP dominated hughes in every way, and if all else was equal and gsp won strictly because of a roid advantage than props to gsp for being the more intelligent fighter and able to take them and not get caught. All that aside, fighters take steroids to recover from a fight not for a physical edge. Even the fighters themselves will admit. Look at gracie who got caught taking steroids around the time he faught hughes. Gracie still lost. Bottom line, who gives a fuck about roids. Bottom line, GSP won.

Exactly how often are fighters tested in the UFC? I'm left with the understanding that they're tested in connection with fights, but are there random tests throughout any given period of time? Are there any rumors about contractual requirements for random testing? If a guy fights two or three times a year, can't a knowledgeable individual time it so they're off cycle and can pass the tests? It seems to work that way in other sports. #17 raises an interesting question. Exactly how often are fighters tested in the UFC?

Matt Hughes has been the most dominate champion the UFC has ever had. To be schooled that bad is amazing, beaten at his own game. I mean beaten, the south paw start was interesting, but truely not going to phase a guy of GSP's level. That level is the best pound for pound fighter on the planet, although I would not argue against votes for Anderson Silva. Wow... The comment about Performance Enhancing drugs is ridiculous. GSP has to pee in a cup way to often, no way. Any claim like that is just a Hughes fan chewing sour grapes. Cheers. Wow,

No posts saying that GSP is arrogant and a lousy role model? Give it a few more weeks, I guess. What? No posts saying that GSP is arrogant and a lousy role model? Give it a few more weeks, I guess.

I believe GSP's skill is much better than Hughes but his strength and stamina was incredibly superior, I find that highly unusual.
