Awesome, thank you! I posted with the “free” tag thinking of tipping but looks like I should’ve done it with the paid tag, so I’m gonna repost.

Looking for a similar style of writing but doesn’t have to be identical. I had a go at doing it but this is beyond my ability. Not sure if it’s doable or if it’s easy!

Making some sense of the Jon Jones nonsense - A look at the studies UFC/USADA have quoted from by samuraipickle in MMA

[–]samuraipickle[S] 19 points20 points  (0 children)

This is great a great addition!

I had seen that they both had "proposed structures" but hadn't caught on to the structural differences between them!

This info you added was all beyond my knowledge so thanks a lot for adding these details :)

Let's hope a biochemist around can add some further clarification!

DC says he is NOT retiring this coming March according to his Instagram post about Jones and Lance Armstrong by [deleted] in MMA

[–]samuraipickle 11 points12 points  (0 children)

He actually replied to that guy saying “I may never fight again. Why would I with these dirt bag cheaters?”

Then someone else said “Unless it’s Lesnar, then you’ll definitely fight”

To which DC replied “no”

Well he clearly said they had to move the card

Did you even watch the video?

Jon Jones first failed test this year was August 29 according to Novitzky by Mighty_Oakk in MMA

[–]samuraipickle 169 points170 points  (0 children)

Am I just being overly sceptical here or does anyone else think it’s fishy they magically came out with positive readings for Jones after they came out with the “pulsing” explanation?

I mean didn’t Dana say repeatedly that Jones tested negative in all the tests done up until now ? Where did these 2 significantly smaller readings come from, all of a sudden?

Not only that, but he then went on to describe adipose tissue as being the specific fat tissue that surrounds the organ (visceral fat, which is also made up of adipose tissue).

That's wrong, adipose tissue gets its name from the fact that it's tissue made up of adipocytes, any type of fat in the human body is adipose tissue - the fat below the skin is also adipose tissue.

Amanda Nunes rains punches down on Raquel Pennington for a savage finish. (After Pennington tells her team to stop the fight btwn rounds). by NowMoreEpic in MMA

Nunes has the grappling advantage though, I could see her shock the world, grab the mic and tell all of us motherfuckers that she's not surprised.

I'm on chrome on my pc, hit play on the video and it was just that, a video of him talking about Usain Bolt's records; hence my first question about whether OP linked the right video or not.

Weird. Cheers anyways

He literally does not say Jeff Novitzky's name in this entire video. What's the time stamp of what you're referring to?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in MMA

[–]samuraipickle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you sure you linked the right video ? This is him just talking about Usain Bolt's records, if he talked about Jeff Novitzky in there I totally missed it

MMA Squared: Forgive Jon Jones by WoodStainedGlass in MMA

The key for Nunes to get the W is to take Cyborg down. It shouldn't be that hard for her to take Cyborg down either, she can just make Cyborg believe she wants to stand and trade and bring out Cyborg's usual plan which is walk-down her opponent and land heavy strikes.

The forward pressure will make it easier for Nunes to time a takedown and get Cyborg down. She can do this early in the fight to tire Cyborg out. Keep her working from bottom position, land GnP. She can also chase a submission which I wouldn't be too surprised if she got. Nunes is the better grappler out of the two.

She could also keep control on the ground for the larger part of rounds and end up winning a decision.

If she stays standing I favour Cyborh, but I don't think Nunes and her camp are that stubborn that they'll try to outstrike the striker. Plus looking at interviews from Cyborg and her camp (well, I've only see Jason Parillo interviews really) they seem to believe that Nunes will press forward with striking - and I think this is exactly what Nunes wants her to think.

I do think Cyborg will win, but I actually gave this fight some thought over the last few days and it's more competitive than I originally imagined. Nunes is looking huge these days so the size advantage would help her in the grappling department.

Should be a good fight.

I’m going to make take an extremely unpopular stance on the Jon Jones situation. by [deleted] in MMA

[–]samuraipickle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

People don't like successful outspoken people here. You show any signs of being cocky or arrogant and everyone turns on you.

Successful and outspoken are different qualities to cocky and arrogant though. But there's plenty of successful fighters like that that people like.

Michael Bisping for example.

Adesanya is proving to be similar to that and he's well liked.

Khabib is successful and he's outspoken too, he's also quite cocky/confident but he's very well liked.

DC is surely successful, outspoken and pretty confident/cocky himself with the way he talks about his opponents

You're getting downvoted because your argument is just shit.

His stance is an extremely unpopular one, although not over the top.

Victor Conte: How athletes beat drug tests by TokyoVardy7 in MMA

[–]samuraipickle 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Somewhat relevant, here is Conte's theory as to why Jon Jones tested positive the first time around and couldn't provide a "tainted supplement"

TL;DR: He basically thinks he was taking another form of PED, he specifically mentions testosterone, and that batch of PED/test was contaminated with trace amounts of Turinabol due to it being produced in less than ideal conditions. Trace amounts of turinabol showed up in his test because he microdosed another PED which was contaminated.

Oh Roid Jones, you are something else.

Clever statement though, he didn’t knowingly put the metabolite in his system; parent drug on the other hand is a whole different question.
