I was just watching Aldo training videos for UFC 200 that have been posted he looks a heck of a lot thinner. His arms,face and neck all look very different.
Should be interesting to see how he fights and if his the same guy as befor his fight with Conor and befor USADA.

Anyone else notice his body change?

I don't really assume anyone is cheating. It's a shot in the dark, but is it really better to spit on a potentially innocent person's name than letting a potentially guilty person get off?

Regarding Brazilians, I'm not surprised at all when most of them pop. I don't believe it's cultural. It's just a different place. These guys typically aren't sports scientists, they are often kids from the streets who worked hard as fk. So they just aren't as educated and probably are fairly innocent to the shit going on. I had a chat with Sportsman before about Brazilians and we were talking about a lot of guys from a lot of areas, specifically places he could name, almost being a bit "childlike". So I reckon there's a bit of that in there. They are a bit oblivious to some of the things going on, such as having stuff in their supps. They are a bit oblivious to why their mates are getting abuse, and they might think it's just "haters" or something.

But there's just a select bunch. You have a Brazilian guy who lives and trains in an American gym, they are less likely to be doing this shit. It's not a national or cultural thing, it's just what it's like down there right now. You could say "there needs to be XYZ" but Brazil's government isn't gonna put it in place cause if I'm right, they are always typically corrupt scum.

I have to agree with the no pc, call a spade a spade crowd. stereotypes and cliches become that for good reason.

there's no chance in hell that a white trash bum from the land of drunk white trash bum leprechauns could ever compete in the UFC without PEDs.

Not just ordinary PEDs either. it would take a miracle drug to make a real fighter out of an irishman.

Jose is about to take the ass whooping of his life. A lot of people are going to say it's because he's off the PEDs but I think it's because he's fighting the best fighter in the UFC.

either way I hope he's able to handle another loss and come back.
His rematch with McGregor would be interesting with both coming off a string of losses. Neither one seem to handle losing well.
