So from what I gather Jones's T/E ratio on fight night was .21 or .53, meanwhile DC's on fight night was .29 or .5. Where's the outrage over DC's irregular ratios? Jones haters just trying to latch onto shyt as usual.

Jones' T/E ratio, testerterone levels and the deviation in the T/E ratio in the multiple tests were more suspicious than Cormier's:

His [Jones] ratio in the three tests were 0.29:1, 0.35:1 and 0.19:1, well below the normal ratio (1.3:1) for an average African-American male, according to Conte. In addition, Jones’ testosterone levels in those three tests were 1.8 ng/mL, 0.59 ng/mL and 4.9 ng/mL; the average level for a male is 61.3 ng/ML.

Cormier’s T/E ratios were 0.40:1 and 0.48:1, while his testosterone levels were 50 ng/mL and 70 ng/mL.

And Shogun tko'd Machida but got mollywhopped by Hendo twice. Common opponents don't necessarily mean much.

That was nowhere near the same shogun though, but your overall point is correct.

Shogun didn't get mollywhopped in the first Shogun fight. What fight were you watching? Pretty much all media scores had it a draw.

Gus' message with this picture:

Hey guys, firstly thank you for your support, before, during and after my fight. It was unbelievable, a memory for life. I love you all.
A loss is not the end of the world, there are so many other problems in the world that needs more attention and discussions than my loss.
I lost to a better opponent on that giving day, that's it, no excuses what so ever.
Rumble Johnson is not only a fantastic fighter, but a great sportman and athlete that I respect a lot for his personality and for the person he is.
So what's next?
A short vacation and then back to training and becoming a better fighter. My goal is still the same, it was just a small bump on the road.

Cro Cop coming for Jones!

 

[Xerces]

I still have nightmares about the first one

Man when Cro Cop got his head knocked off in the first fight no joke my facial expression was I couldn't move. My phone blew up I couldn't move. GG had been controlling him on the ground for most of the first and when they finally stood up I was like alright Cro Cop is going to finish the round and come back and get in, then "it" happened. Terrifying night

fukk all this I won't fight my teammate shyt. If y'all ain't related by marriage or blood just fight. It's business. I can understand Vitali and Wlad never wanting to fight because they're brothers and it's a dangerous sport but

I clearly compared FIGHT NIGHT ratios in my post. Why bring up the December results? On Fight Night their ratios were either very close or identical. Where's the outrage about DC?

That was nowhere near the same shogun though, but your overall point is correct.

Why not? The 2nd Lyoto fight and first Hendo fight are just 17 months apart.

Shogun didn't get mollywhopped in the first Shogun fight. What fight were you watching? Pretty much all media scores had it a draw.

I was watching the fight where Shogun almost died in the first two rounds.

Link to his post fight results?

The Dec results are a lot more important/telling than the post fight results.

I was watching the fight where Shogun almost died in the first two rounds.

It was a 5 round fight. 2 rounds wasn't even half the fight.

Video?

No way man! You just asking me to post the video made me cringe. It's on youtube

Because shogun had more surgery between those fights. Shogun literally has no knees left, can't really count those. Also I'm not even really a fan of the unified rules anyway so i believe shogun has been screwed by that also.

teammates can become close like brothers or even closer than some people who are blood related. To just downplay that is silly.

Its that bad?
