I like him. Look, he's a crybaby, but I find it entertaining. I like it when he goes on his campaigns about entitlement and how he should be given easy fights. I don't agree with any of it, but, you gotta understand, everybody's gonna stumble, at times, but to miss weight at a fight poorly, when you're paid what he's paid -- he's the second highest paid fighter in the industry now that Brock Lesnar is retired -- it kind of puts him in a different ballpark. A lot of things are expected of him and he's not quite delivering. But as far as retirement talk, the guy ought to be able to have a bad performance here and there. Randy Couture, the greatest of all time, had bad performances, but he always came back.
That wasn't all Sonnen had to say about the subject though.

Chael also wanted to make it clear that Rampage's use of TRT shouldn't be viewed negatively:
Quote :
There's two things there. Hold on. If you're gonna associate the guy with TRT, make sure you also associate the fact that it's legal and it's not banned. Second thing with TRT is people are really getting confused. They look at TRT and they're missing the stuff that really is good. TRT is eight, nine or ten on the list of things they could take to help their careers. Secondly, any time a person says 'performance enhancer,' stop talking to them, because they don't have the intellect to debate with you.
"I wanna make this point. I would never take anything if I didn't think it would help my performance. That's what medicine is in 21st Century America. Imagine if you go to the doctor and say, 'Doc, I'm feeling great. You got anything that can bring me down a notch?' That's malpractice. It's all meant to help your performance.

In a very, very long (like, 45 minutes long) interview with MMA Heat's Karyn Bryant, Quinton Jackson talks about all kinds of topics. From his recent Twitter rampage, to his disappointment at his spot on the UFC's return to Japan and everything in between. But, for me anyway, the most interesting segment is when Jackson addresses the subject of his testosterone replacement therapy. [youtube][/youtube]
Quote :
"Well, the reason that I took it was, I heard that organizations like to have all the fighters on a level playing field. My test was really low and I was told by some doctors to bring it up to 600. My doctor said I should bring it up to 800 because some guys are naturally at like 1100. Say a guy like Cheick Kongo. You see how he's ripped and stuff all the time? Totally natural. But they said he might be 1100 naturally. So why should I be at 6? I did it fair! I said okay, I did 6. I don't care. I didn't want mines at what it was, it was really low.
My doctor...Dr. Kessler he sees me and he automatically gets paid by the UFC. He'll call the UFC and tell the UFC what I need. I'm not used to that, before I didn't do this. The UFC pays for everything. That's what I was saying in the interview..."
...
"I went back to Dr. Kessler he said well...if you depend on fighting you gotta go meet this doctor right here, Dr. K. He's a Russian guy, very smart and he said they'll put you on some...age management or something. He'll know what to do to make you heal faster. So I did that and sat down and talked to him and he explained everything to me."
...
"I got blood tests every week to test my levels and everything and I made sure I didn't go over the level. It helped me good enough to do the fight."

http://www.bloodyelbow.com/2012/4/5/2926346/ufc-quinton-rampage-jackson-appears-fake-rape-video-mma-news In an apparent infinite capacity for poor decision making, stupidity, and vile behavior, Quentin Jackson has posted a video called, "How to Pick Up a Gurl [sic] - Fast". What's so offensive about this, you ask? Well, the video boils down to a how-to on raping women, including using cholorform to help her relax, using zip ties, picking women who are in parking lots with malfunctioning cameras, and putting on your condoms, cause, safety first! However the jokes on Rampage when the woman turns out to be a man, who then proceeds to bite Rampage's erect penis as he's screaming on the ground. No, I'm serious. That's really what happens. The video ends with Rampage disgusted that it was "a damn dude." Right, Quentin, because THAT'S what's disgusting here. [youtube][/youtube]

Exactly what I was thinking. He just wants the UFC to let him go. Fedor vs Rampage coming soon.

If this was any other athletic from another sport this would make national news.

Well the Torres and Evans stories hit Yahoo and ESPN pretty quickly. I wouldn't be shocked if this pops up.

I don't really have too many favorites in the lower weight classes, I like watching the vast majority of them fight. Was a huge Aldo fan on his way up but I have a natural dislike for anyone associated with Ed Soares.
