Seems like a lot of people forget who good Franca is. Heavy hands and slick submissions is a great combination. Franca will be back in the mix soon I hope. Anyone heard anything on him?
Yeah sherk only got 6 months...just goes to show snivelling and whining Can pay off sometimes.
especially when his defence is simply "he didnt do it"
funny!
If Sherk had admitted it he'd have to spend 6 more months suspended and everyone would know he is doing steroids for sure, so why admit it? Not even considering he may not have knowingly done them.
Hopefully he's training hard because he is an exciting fighter in a great division. I would love to see him and Clay Guida, or him and Tyson Griffin, or him and Roger Huerta. Man, the LW division is so fun.
I think GMW is a New England Patriot.....do whatever it takes to win ...including lie and cheat.....that crap is the kind of thing that bj penn talks about.....by the wy your def entitled to your opinion....i think franca, and sean sherk would get their asses schooled by the prodigy....cheaters fuckin suck, nothing like makin gains and them loosing them couple mths later...its cheating:confused03: And serious this whole thing about i didnt know i was doin them....i know you people saw that ufc special with all the stuff he takes....your tellin me he didnt know....do you put shit in your body that you dont know????
No, I am not on the New England Patriots, I am not ok with cheating that being said...
I saw UFC All access, I also know when they tested some of his supplements they found a steroid in one of them, that was not suppose to be there. So he could not have known about that one. He probably knowingly took steroids, but it created doubt so I'll give him a 2nd chance, same chance that was given to A LOT of fighters.
He would of lost his belt, dignity and money (more money actually) anyways. By not fighting the appeal he would of gotten six more months suspension, which would of added up to more then 20,000 dollars.
Looks are irrelevant.
Coming out would have just gotten people angry at him for doing steroids, lost his belt and a full year suspension.
It would of been more honorable to come out and admit it (assuming he did of course) but for his career he did the right thing in my opinion.
dude, i was just playin with the Patriots thing and u def bring up some good points.....he does have a family to fee and it is money but, its just tough to buy that a guy like that doesnt know whats in his suppliments....just my opinion....:confused02:
I see it like this guys UFC fighters are professional athliets they know the rules its there job to know whats in the stuff there taking and if it will show up negatively in the urine tests.
I think this whole thread proveas a point HErmes owned up took his punishment and went await Sherk protest his innocence and blab on for months and still got a 6 month susopension and striped of his title so in the same match two guys tested poitive and me all know the story of onr SHERK but not everyone seems to know that HERMES tested poitive admited it took his suspension and walked away .
P>S> by the judgement clause FRANCA Will be eligable to fighter 4 months before Sherk is and he got double the suspension time just coz he admited he was wrong and started his suspension striaght away.
u guys really think if franca was healthy against sherk he would have won......personally i dont see it that way and it had mainly to do with franca's conditioning which according to him was off the charts.....he was gassed at the end of that fight and i think it would not have made a difference injured or not........go running......franca has the skill set but i dont see it happening.....:thumb02:jmo
what I don't get is why would Franca take the fight if he had to take an illegal substance to heal his ankle? faster. Say he won, he would be stripped and fined. Its a lose lose situation.
1 possible explanation:
Because not everybody gets caught.
