New to Bloody Elbow! NEED HELP

2013-05-21T05:32:18Z

Hello Bloody Elbow community, I have been reading BE for about a year and a half and I have noticed that the people writers and articles here are top notch. I have decided to become an active member here for these reasons. Obviously I am new to commenting, posting gifs, and things like that. I am hoping one (or a few) of the veteran community members could show me the ropes on things like BECW, gifs,and even live threads.

With that being said, I look forward to being a member here and if you have advice or comments or anything else you think i could use I would appreciate it.

According to their Facebook, EA Sports will reveal info on their upcoming UFC game tomorrow.

On a unrelated note. How many of you would be interrested in creating a BE camp when the game releases? I'm just counting on that camps will be in and think it would be an awsome idea for us to have with an online leaderboard here on BE. Tournaments, "fight camps" and undisputed BE crownings! Just filling this post out with random ramblings now peace brah.

My personal experience and thoughts about TRT.

2013-05-21T00:42:16Z

First and foremost, save your judgment of me for someone who cares. I want to provide my experience, and knowledge of what using testosterone can and can't do.

I'm 33 and have recently done a few cycles of test to enhance my weight lifting abilities. I don't participate in any type of sport or event, this was strictly for personal gain. The specific kind of test I did was Andropyn, a blend of different types of test. It didn't have noticeable effect on me until I had been using for about 4 weeks. I started to see strength and stamina gains, but nothing super impressive. By the end of the 8th week, I was noticeably stronger, and had the fire to lift weights for an easy 3 hours per day. At this point, no matter how heavy, or much I lifted, there was never any soreness. By the end of the 12 week cycle I was way stronger than when I first started the cycle. My diet wasn't very clean, as I was just eating a lot to try and get as big and strong as possible.

So in a nutshell the things test improved for me was strength, stamina, and muscle growth. It should be noted that I was taking 2cc a week of a FIVE test blend for 12 weeks, which is more than a prescribed dose for low T is. My brother-in-law was given a prescription for test by his Dr. after testing low for test. His dose was to be 1cc per week of a single type of test, test prop. He doesn't feel any strength gains or stamina gains in his weight routine. This is kind of important to not because this SHOULD be the type of test that is being prescribed.

As for my thoughts on TRT use in sports, I kind of sound like a hypocrite, but I feel it should be legal. Let me explain quickly why. If a fighter really does have a low T problem, I feel that it should be diagnosed by a neutral Dr., not the fighter's Dr. The injections should only be administered by that Dr., and only an amount to bring the patient up to the minimum normal amount found in a male of his same age, never any higher. The patient should have to undergo WEEKLY tests to ensure that his levels never exceed this minimum level. If the patient doesn't ever get above that level of test, he wouldn't experience the benefits that I had by elevating my level well above where they would normally be. I also want to point out that even with my high dose, I didn't really start to see/feel the benefits for almost 8 weeks, which is about how long a fight camp is. So even if the smaller prescribed dose DID give an advantage (which i don't think it would), it wouldn't be til it was too late in camp to help.

I'm not trying to sway anyone's opinion with this post, just thought maybe it would shed a little light on the situation. God bless

The top 5 points a Vitor hater is afraid to touch!!

2013-05-20T19:13:23Z

1st .. Carlson Gracie thought so much of a young Vitor that he had/wanted his last name changed to Gracie. If you don't know who Carlson Gracie is.. then do your self a favor and read everything you can on him. He might not have started the UFC but his style and the work he put into the first real MMA team has done more for the sport than anyone. If he believed so much in the "phenom" then.. why is everyone putting so much into the TRT debate now..

2nd.. I'll tell you.. Luke Rockhold. Having no way of drumming up PR for his fight by way of his own accomplishments , (ie interesting fights) he used TRT as a way of getting fans to respond and feel some drama for his first fight. And when he fell as spectacularly as every fighter that loses to VItor does...

3rd.. He responded by saying his KO wasn't attributed to TRT.. THE timing, speed, and natural ability of Belfort (What Carlson first saw in him) was. Consider that the fans still up in arms about this were trolled by one Luke Rockhold. Why this worked?

4th.. Luke knew that talk of a higher power and drug abuse gets everyone up in arms (look at the caraway situation). Fact and yeah I'm saying FACT is that most of these fighters are using steroids and some form of cheating. Look no further than the golden boy GSP or Chael.. everyone is doing this on some level. If you know a friend that benches 300 lb plus... Probably did something at some point. which brings me to the final and most important point.

5th... Hating on Vitor because he has faith in some religion is just down right dangerous. I don't believe that steroids are ok, I don't believe its ok to cheat, and I'm not someone who has ever believed in religion or god. I am sure tho that believing in something like god is being a better person than demonizing someone else for doing that. I have never heard Vitor explain that you the fan are a loser or less than him for not believing in a higher power. Most professional athletes do believe in god. Who are you to judge? You like me have not been born with VItor's natural abilities. You probably have not been through the gambit of social, physical, and family problems that he has. If a belief in a religion has helped him become the beast at middleweight that he is.. I'm god/jesus/phenom fearing now!

I don't agree with TRT, steroids, Jesus abuse, or more importantly hating a system or set of rules I can't change.. I like to watch UFC and MMA. IF you don't like the first three,, well TUF.

BTW the folks that say Chael hasn't been busted for steroids and therefore TRT isn't a bit deal.. . His back was covered with acne a couple years ago... that happens with the most powerful anabolic.. trenbalone.

I don't agree with TRT, steroids, Jesus abuse, or more importantly hating a system or set of rules I can't change.. I like to watch UFC and MMA. IF you don't like the first three,, well TUF.

The Virility Chronicles: Testosterone and The Failure to Launch

2013-05-20T14:04:08Z

Testosterone is God's wonder drug. When He pottered into his celestial laboratory to concoct it, His eyes were aflame with the excitement of possibility. His finest creation was about to become even more of a marvel of intelligent design.

His masterpiece, man, would be made magnificent by this new hormone. His muscles would be bigger and stronger. His courage and aggression in battle would produce gory spectacles for the amusement of the angels. His enhanced virility would see him storm the chaste barricades of his womenfolk and sire many offspring. He would be the ultimate warrior. MMA fighters, predictably, took note.

As many of them dived enthusiastically through the regulatory loopholes that allow them to top up their natural store of this wonder drug, they reaped wondrous benefits in the gym. Their injuries healed more quickly. Their heightened aggression meant they were more motivated to train and to spar. Their taut muscles coiled like iron cables, boosting the lethal potency of their techniques. And when they went home in the evening, their breathless life partners were overwhelmed by their voracious carnal lust. But did it actually help them to win fights?

Perhaps not as much as some would suppose. When a fighter steps into the cage to fight, he is a complete package comprising three aspects that bear upon his chances of victory:

1. Technical Skill. This is the quality and quantity of the weapons he carries into battle. It is the precision, fluidity, accuracy, effectiveness, speed and versatility of his fighting techniques. The primary determinant of a fighter's technical skill is the quality of his instruction, the range of skills he drills, and his experience applying them in combat. Testosterone has little influence on this beyond improving his motivation to train and injury recovery time. It allows him to put in more reps, but this means little if he's training the wrong things, or not enough of the right ones.

2. Physical Prowess. This refers to a fighter's size, strength, stamina, flexibility and conditioning. Range and depth of technical skill is useless to a fighter who is exhausted after one minute of combat, or is simply overpowered by a larger, stronger foe. Once again however, testosterone is not the primary determinant of these.

Size and somatic structure are immutable. Stamina is the result of pushing the body to exhaustion many times over time. Flexibility is the result of interminable stretching over time. Toughness and conditioning comes from repeated impact and regeneration. Strength is definitely boosted by testosterone, but for an elite fighter, intense training and not hormonal load is what begets superior muscle functionality.

3. Psychological Fortitude. It is a popular fighting aphorism that technique beats strength, and heart beats technique. The psychologically stronger fighter will often beat the technically superior one. The mental aspects of a fighter- his courage, persistence, motivation, confidence and fortitude- are largely congenital. Some people are just born tough. They are the Jake LaMottas, Frankie Edgars, Miesha Tates, and Gil Melendezes of this world. They know no fear and don't know how to quit. Testosterone definitely boosts aggression which is a function of motivation, but it doesn't give the heart and fighting spirit of a champion.

All of which ultimately doesn't say too much. Supplemental testosterone clearly enhances a fighter's performance, but due to the complex and multifaceted nature of fighting, it does so nowhere near as much as might be supposed. To further explore the question of just how much (or how little) testosterone helps a fighter's chances of winning, let us fall back on that objective banisher of bias and obfuscation: statistics.

As an unbiased and representative sample, here is a brief look at the last two fights of five high-profile UFC fighters topping up the honey of their gonads with Testosterone Replacement Therapy:

1. Dan Henderson. His last fight was this almost farcical drubbing at the hands of Lyoto Machida:

Before that, it was a hard-won war of attrition against Mauricio Rua:

2. Frank Mir. His last fight consisted of being embraced into defeat by an amorous Daniel Cormier:

Before that, he fell to the mighty fists of Junior Dos Santos:

3. Rampage Jackson. His last fight involved being gamely battered into defeat by Glover Teixeira:

Before that, he was ponderously outclassed by Ryan Bader:

4. Chael Sonnen. His last fight was an almost pitiable beating suffered at the merciless hands of J Jones:

His immediate fight before that was an almost pitiable beating suffered at the merciless hands of Anderson Silva:

5. Vitor Belfort. His last fight involved brutally kicking Luke Rockhold into the nether realms of cosmic consciousness:

His fight before that involved brutally kicking Michael Bisping into the nether realms of cosmic consciousness:

In Conclusion: Presented like this, the facts reveal a refreshing statistical clarity. Their elegant consistency is pleasing to any analyst. As a random sample, the TRT-enhanced warriors lost a definitive seven of their last ten fights. Three out of five lost both of their last two fights. Only one fighter won both fights, and he did so in decisive and consistent fashion.

Since all the fighters were on TRT, the factors differentiating Vitor's violent victories from the middling to poor results of the rest of the sample group must be substantially unrelated to TRT. And indeed, they were the factors manifest in his high-kicking virtuosity: overwhelming technical skill, versatility, risk-taking and timing.

Science doesn't lie: supplemental testosterone boosts athletic performance. However, statistics don't lie either: TRT's influence on a fighter's performance is far from decisive. TRT or not, Losers gonna lose, and Winners gonna win. As for just precisely how much influence TRT has on a fighter's chances of victory, well, only God knows. And He apparently isn't telling.

Perhaps not as much as some would suppose. When a fighter steps into the cage to fight, he is a complete package comprising three aspects that bear upon his chances of victory:

Vitor Belfort; and, the Start of the TRT Era

2013-05-20T03:20:48Z

"You never had control, that's the illusion! I was overwhelmed by the power of this place. But I made a mistake, too, I didn't have enough respect for that power and it's out now." - Dr. Ellie Sattler (Jurassic Park)

The day was May 18, 2013. The event: UFC on FX 8. The place: Jaragua Do Sol, Brazil.

Vitor Belfort, a self-proclaimed "young dinosaur," stood in the middle of the octagon. His opponent, Luke Rockhold, laid unconscious on the mat. Thousands cheered in the stadium, while millions watched in awe by television.

And, whether they knew it or not, they had just witnessed history.

Because with a single kick, Belfort had changed the landscape of mixed martial arts.

Forever.

Few lauded Belfort's efforts, claiming hard training and evolution. However, most, within seconds of the knockout, publicly reviled the effects of Testosterone Replacement Therapy. Do fighters gain a significant advantage with TRT? Is TRT a loophole? Is TRT the same as steroids? Have we officially entered the TRT Era?

And, if we have, can we survive it?

Because, if we have learned anything from sports such as baseball, cheating is not only detrimental but nearly fatal. Sure, the sport will continue. Sure, fighters will win and lose. But, not a single knockout, submission, or win will ever be viewed the same.

Today, we have to decide as fans what, and how much of what we'll be able to endure. How far will we suspend our imagination for entertainment? When is enough, enough?

Because, "the power is out now," and we are the only ones who can control it.

Nick Diaz Promotions; or, a Traveling Sideshow

2013-05-20T02:03:03Z

"When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro." - Hunter S. Thompson

Nick Diaz was perhaps walking shirtless down the streets of Stockton, California; or on a lengthy bike ride; or conversing with his brother, Nate, when the idea of creating his own promotion was born.

OK, let's be honest, he was smoking medical marijuana. He was high.

The idea struck him with the same singular power the thought of Honey Buns or the size of the universe strikes an average stoner. In that moment, Diaz, with bloodshot eyes, sat in a catatonic state, hypnotized by a kaleidoscope of mixed martial arts' dreams. There, in his mind, Diaz was removed from the cage, wrapped in a suit, and standing behind a podium. This could only mean one thing: Nick Diaz should be a promoter.

So, over the next few hours, the former Strikeforce welterweight champion started an application process with the California State Athletic Commission to create WAR MMA. Then he purchased a website (www.nickdiazpromotions.com) and created a Twitter account.

Did he wake the next morning, dry-mouthed and confused, staring at the application and website, like a man reading through his texts after a night of drinking?

Who knows.

Maybe he wasn't high. Maybe this was the impetus of a strategic career move.

But this is Nick Diaz. You know, the same individual who is extremely uncomfortable with media, perpetually complains of his lack of funds, may have admitted tax evasion, consistently flips off the camera and claims to hate the sport of mixed martial arts.

One can only wonder if this is yet another act in the traveling side show of Nick Diaz or a true attempt at cementing a retirement plan.

We'll have to wait and see. And we will. Because Nick Diaz is character we don't want to lose.

BECW S6:E2 Recap - UFC on FX Belfort v Rockhold

2013-05-20T00:09:36Z

In the Season 5 Awards post that was made by the BEST CAPTAIN IN THE GAME, I said this in regards to the award handed out for the top scoring performance of the season:

I feel it wont be my award for much longer honestly. Too many people are too good at this shit. I would truly be stunned if nobody broke it this season.

I’m just glad that person won’t be Tim Burke because god he is the worst.

Well, at least I saw it coming. What I didn't see coming was that the scores for this event would be on more TRT than Vitor Belfort, TODDDUFFEE and Dan Henderson combined. So it is with a heavy heart that I admit my score was beaten by euthanatos....& sgiblin & cardioless & skeebop & phenylenginerods & Brent Ducharme & SteveevaD & benten20 & Violent Newt & swiftman & Kaleb Kelchner & PDG27 & BROCKLESNAR!!!! & pooki & Sugel Mendoza & fedorable & Garrett Turpin & Me & Centre Line & Manch1ld & corey nielsen & Sweet Scientist & sun yue & mmastation & Dave Strummer & duck.

However, none of these people are the new record holder. The person who broke the record by the most annnnnnd NEEEEEWWWWWWW BECW All Time Single Event Scoring King is Ben Bauman who scored 132 points. Congrats and may your record stand forever or until Joe Silva books another stunningly predictable card. Well done. That is seriously unreal.

So unreal that if you broke the previous record by one point, you only manged to finish tied for 23rd in this event. The person who finished in last place scored an otherwise middle of the road 52. For this even however, that was good for dead last. Just crazy stuff.

The hot bout was huge for people as RDA was on the receiving end of a debatable UD in his favor. Had we adopted the rule of the hot bout being decided by the closest bout in the CW instead of all of MMAPG, the hot bout would have been Dias v Lentz.

So congrats to everyone who posted absolutely bonkers scores. As you will see below, team scores are predictably at an all time high for this event as well.

That's all I got this event folks. Be sure to congratulate Ben Bauman when you see him. Odds are he will be half buried in a pile of money, cocaine and nice ladies. Pretty standard fare for folks who do things that awesome.

In the Season 5 Awards post that was made by the BEST CAPTAIN IN THE GAME, I said this in regards to the award handed out for the top scoring performance of the season:

I feel it wont be my award for much longer honestly. Too many people are too good at this shit. I would truly be stunned if nobody broke it this season.

I’m just glad that person won’t be Tim Burke because god he is the worst.

So congrats to everyone who posted absolutely bonkers scores. As you will see below, team scores are predictably at an all time high for this event as well.

A quick technical breakdown of Vitor's new kicking strategy

2013-05-19T05:34:33Z

Ok, so this is going to be quite a brief post because I'm at uni cramming.

At face value, it seems that Vitor is randomly throwing kicks that are just happening to catch people. Comments denoting his success despite 'no set-up' are plentiful. However, Vitor's recent KO's have not been even remotely caused by a combination of random kicks and chance. They are part of a well known strategy.

The strategy involves establishing oneself as a power striker, thus forcing ones opponent to frequently slip or circle away from ones power punch. At this point, the opponent is very susceptible to kicks (they have blocked incorrectly and are moving towards the kick).

Spin kicks are very powerful. However, they land infrequently because the spin telegraphs the attack. But there are a few ways to use them effectively. That is, one shortens the spin by:

distracting the opponent while stepping across to set up the attack; &/or
tricking/forcing the opponent to slip or circle towards the spinning attack; &/or
tricking the opponent into thinking a liner attack is coming, so that they react accordingly such that their reaction to the spin (the real attack) is slowed

What we saw today was a combination of 2 and 3.
Vitor has established himself as a powerful striker who attacks with his fists in a linear style. He often utilises what is termed a straight blast (stepping forward with the back leg while firing 1-2's in rapid succession). His hand power is feared and opponents know it is coming straight.
Sequence breakdown:

Rockhold is watching Vitor;
Vitors left shoulder pulls back and his right jerks forward;
Rockhold expects either a (loaded) lead left hook, a jab or (most likely) a right straight;
Thus, Rockhold back hand rises to parry, he braces & he begins to slip to his left;
Rockhold realises he has reacted incorrectly and tries to return his hand to block and to brace on the opposite side; and
BAMN! Too late.

A similar thing happened with Bisping. Michael expected a powerful straight attack, slipped to his left and into the trajectory of the kick which he ate in devastating fashion.
In summary, Vitor's opponents adapted to his linear power style by practicing their slips and circling, and he in turn adapted by developing a kicking game that intercepts them as they manouvre away.
Cheers from Australia,

Ok, so this is going to be quite a brief post because I'm at uni cramming.

Spin kicks are very powerful. However, they land infrequently because the spin telegraphs the attack. But there are a few ways to use them effectively. That is, one shortens the spin by:

distracting the opponent while stepping across to set up the attack; &/or
tricking/forcing the opponent to slip or circle towards the spinning attack; &/or
tricking the opponent into thinking a liner attack is coming, so that they react accordingly such that their reaction to the spin (the real attack) is slowed

Rockhold is watching Vitor;
Vitors left shoulder pulls back and his right jerks forward;
Rockhold expects either a (loaded) lead left hook, a jab or (most likely) a right straight;
Thus, Rockhold back hand rises to parry, he braces & he begins to slip to his left;

30th All Japan Shinkyokushinkai Karate Championships Streaming Live now on Youtube

2013-05-19T03:11:17Z

The 30th Shinkyokushinkai All Japan Championships are streaming live on Youtube on May 18th at 10PM (Eastern). For those of you that might be wondering what the hell Shinkyokushinkai is, it is one of the multiple organizations sanctioning Kyokushin Karate and was founded by 1991 lightweight and openweight world champion Kenji Midori. For those that might be wondering what the hell Kyokushin Karate is, it's like Taekwondo, if Taekwondo had balls, chest hair and Don Frye's moustache. Matches are bare knuckles full contact fights, punches and elbows to the head are not allowed, but kicks and knees are allowed on the whole body.

Would Pat Healy Still Have His Money if UFC 159 Occurred in British Columbia?

2013-05-19T01:43:46Z

OK, with BC’s new legislative framework in place regulating professional MMA and with Marc Ratner’s confirmation that BC is back on the UFC’s map its time to have some fun with hypotheticals.

What if Pat Healy’s failed marijuana drug test following UFC 159 occurred under BC’s new regime?

For those of you that don’t know the story, following his last fight in New Jersey Pat Healy tested positive for marijuana metabolites. To his credit he immediately fell on his sword and owned up to his mistake. The apology could not, however, stop the official result of the fight changing from a win to a no-contest. This in turnstripped him of bonus money which made up the lion’s share of his purse.

So what if this happened in BC? Would the result be different? We need to make a few assumptions here but there is a strong likelihood that his victory would have remained intact and his pocketbook would be left untouched.

Once in force, the BC Scheme will be far more lenient than New Jersey’s or other jurisdictions when it comes to marijuana metabolites. The World Anti-Doping Agency largely sets the standard when it comes to testing for banned substances. Many jurisdictions look to WADA for guidance when drafting their regulations relating to banned substances and acceptable levels when testing. When WADA changes their rules, athletic commissions generally need to change theirs if they want to keep pace.

British Columbia has gone further, however, and not only been guided by WADA’s standards but have expressly adopted them as they stand at any given time. Specifically, section 21(2) of the BC Regulation reads as follows:

“For the purpose of this regulation, the World Anti-Doping Agency’s list of prohibited substances and methods applies as amended from time to time“

This means that when WADA changes their rules BC law is automatically updated to follow suit. This is where the Pat Healy saga comes into play. WADA has just announced that they are relaxing their rules when it comes to marijuana. As of May 11, 2013 athletes are allowed to have 10 times more marijuana metabolites in their system before failing a drug test as compared to the former WADA standards increasing the standard from 15 ng/mL to 150 ng/mL.

This means that Pat Healy will have 10 times the slack under BC’s system over jurisdictions which implemented the former WADA standards. Many US States such as Nevada have a standard of 50 ng/mL (although they are being lobbied to get in line with WADA’s new standard) meaning that BC’s standard is three times more generous than this standard.

Pat Healy’s exact readings have not been publicly reported but I have reached out to him to see if he is willing to share these. Assuming he was not over 150 then he would not have run afoul of BC regulations, would have kept his win and his bonus money would still be intact.

This conclusion is bolstered by the fact that a fighter’s contract regarding controlled substances, while expressly prohibiting the use of marijuana, seems to defer to Athletic Commission testing arguably meaning that a reading below 150 by the BC Commission would not be a breach of this policy. The relevant section of the UFC’s contract reads as follows:

A Big Picture View of MMA Lineal Titles Across Promotions

2013-05-19T01:17:03Z

For those of you who have followed the evolution of my lineal title posts, I am proud to say that this will be by far the most complete to date. I've placed a list of links at the bottom of this post for those readers who may have missed any lineal title related posted thus far.

The first half of this post focuses on lineal titles as they are traditionally discussed. The belts can be traced back to the inaugural titles issued by their respective promotions. the second half of this post focuses on a different set of lineal titles. I thought it would be interesting to look only at defunct MMA promotions and trace the title from the day the promotion closed its doors up until present day.

Important to note that I have only included fights within the designated weight class of each title. Enjoy!
