<p>
	So I think the proper drug testing was brought into the ufc about a year ago? And they have already had 9 or 10 positive tests and mostly from big names. Why are the athletes not getting it? And do people even care? Seems to me like they should just abolish testing in the ufc altogether because the fans don't seem to really be too bothered if someone fails a test either. I remember the MLB (baseball) and when they had the big drug scandal and positive tests the fan numbers and bums on seats dropped off majorly. Why not the same in the ufc? Do people not really care?

<p>
	the world went crazy over sharapova. I know the sports are on different levels as far as popularity goes but still..

<p>
	What are your picks for this weekend?
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	Everyone seems to be picking Diaz for a repeat win over McGregor, personally i cant stand when Diaz opens his mouth, he has such an annoying  brain damaged retarded sounding voice that just pisses me off and i hope Conor kicks his head off.
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	Glover vs Rumble- Love both these fighters and not sure where my head is on this one but Glover is my nigga and he is going to win by decision if he can get out of the first round.
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	Cowboy vs Story- Cowboy tko.
</p>

<p>

<p>
	Hi guys,
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	I reside in the rural parts of Papakura, I'm wondering if anyone knows anyone who has any martial arts training and can teach who isn't going to cost me an arm and a leg. 
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	Or just someone who has experience and is looking for a pad / conditioning buddy.
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	I have done a couple of years of Muay Thai, but I am looking to branch out and try different things to get an all around approach, but im too far from any gyms.
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	Thanks  D.
</p>

<p>Actually should be a really good card this weekend not many big names but some great talent.</p><p> </p><p>I'm rooting for Mir to beat Silva unlikely but i just feel as though Sliva is done,Mir has lost four in a row but look who he has lost to Barnett,Overeem,cormier,JDS. Plus you can never underestimate his BJJ.</p><p> </p><p>Barboza to win he has been looking his best ever since his loss to Cerrone.</p><p> </p><p>Rustam Khabilov will either grind him out to a decision or take him down and blast him until tko or until a submission is available. I realize i just described every way to win haha</p><p> </p><p> </p>
