Very weird that the ref completely ignored the timeout request from Sakuraba.

Interested to get some translated info / updates on this Zach if you have the time or inclination.

Wow. I didn’t know that. My bad. The fight was still awful, but I’m impressed he even showed up. He has the strength and likely the size to sub Sylvia. He made Marrero tap while pulling on his forearm he didn’t even have the hand let alone point the thumb to the sky.

“This has the potential to be extremely boring like Gonzaga vs Papa Shango.”

Keep in mind that Gonzaga’s child died just before that match, which he took on short notice. Guy must have nerves of steel just to get in the ring after something like that happens.

Hahaha, some Sherdoggers are too dumb to read: “Alves Tested Positive for a diarrhetic…”

But back to the topic: so Spironolactone (which is a diuretic) is a banned substance and can be used to mask steroids? I’ve gained a lot of weight while nursing a back injury a few years ago, and my blood pressure went through the roof and i was on a diuretic for a few months (until i was back in my original weight class). Interesting to see that i would’ve tested positive in Nevada back then

I wonder if they’ll make the fight a NC then (just like in Boxing) or keep the decision (just like Barnett-Couture).

Breaking news: Thiago alves caught with a banned substance…sigh…when will people learn. At least Thiago won his bout unlike Bonner, Pastul and Belfort.

Hey Josh thanks for all that explanation, and for everybody who contributed. This an fascinating aspect of asian relationships that i’ve always been interested in. As someone said earlier, its reciprocal to some extent, although, the Japanese people who are don’t hold those old grudges, tend to be harder on their fellow Japanese, than a Korean would be his own.
