    Of course they do, they make you bigger, stronger and more aggressive. All positive attributes for a fighter

    <p>Particularly for Lesnar... that's pretty much his point of difference.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Although I think Hunt is digging himself a bit of a whole with this pay me or I walk angle, I can certainly understand his anger. They encouraged him to get in the ring with a roided up monster. And I don't use the term 'monster' loosely, Lesnar legitimately scares the shit out of me.</p>

    <p>Reports are saying Lesnar tested positive for clomiphene, an anti-oestrogen agent used in sports doping to maximise an athlete's testosterone level and increase muscle bulk.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>The same PED as Jon Jones.</p>

    <p>Average card over the weekend.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Big news was Holly Holm lost her second in a row. This time to #7 ranked Valentina Shevchenko, who won on a unamimous points decision after 5 rounds.</p>

    <p>Here. We. Go.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Diaz vs McGregor 2.  This should be interesting.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Does anybody really think Diaz is the better fighter?  And now they are fighting with equal preperation time at the same weight.  </p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>I'm not a CMG fan, but I suspect he's going to win this.</p>

    <p>P4P I'd argue McGregor is the better fighter. He has excellent striking and he's a very smart fighter. But P4P doesn't really count for a whole lot and Diaz is just a bigger fighter, with probably the best chin in his division. So I think it'll be another Diaz win.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>That said, I'm not sure McGregor cares as much as his fans do. Ever since he signed with the UFC, he's been punching well above his position, signing one fight contracts with the UFC and negotiating for as much money as he can. He fucked up with the UFC 200 gamble but still, I think his only real goal is to get as much money as he possibly can and then move on when things turn pear shaped. I don't think he wants to be an idiot like Dan Henderson, Cro Cop, Tito or whoever and fight until he's a crippled old man.</p>

    <p>Unsurprisingly some of the pre-match stuff has turned into a shit fight.  The press conference ended up with bottles being thrown etc etc.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>I do genuinely think these 2 guys don't like each other, and both are a bit wild untamed animal, but the sport should be careful to distinguish itself from the the WWE etc with these sorts of things.</p>

    <p>Connor wins the first round, destroying Nate's front leg and knocking him down.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Knocks him down twice more at the start of second. Nate's bleeding.</p>

    <p>Diaz comes back in the second half of the second round and has Conor retreating and trapped against the fence. Still Conor's round IMO, because of the knockdowns, but who knows about the next three. Conor looks tired.</p>

    <p>Nate takes the third. Conor's tired as fuck and I'm not sure he has enough to win another round and survive to the end.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Conor 29-28</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Conor starts the fourth pretty well though.</p>

    <p>Conor takes the fourth. Nate's tired as fuck too now, bleeding like crazy and pretty slow on his ruined leg. Conor just needs to survive the fifth and he's got it.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Conor 39-37</p>

    <p>What a war. Diaz takes the fifth IMO, though it was a fairly close one with a shitload of fighting against the cage but Diaz finally got a takedown at the very end. Conor 48-47</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Conor's takedown defence is impressive.</p>
