For those who feel Stipe is still not getting any respect,

Stipe opens as the clear betting favorite @ -188, Cromier underdog @ +162

Oh... I guess the oddmakers are no longer willing to make the mistake of making Stipe the underdog... or they just think bigger is better.. I think it's just a plot to strip Stipe's belt by UFC, man. Look into it ;)

I do think that while a cheater tainted his/hers legacy with an asterik behind his achievements.. I've insisted time and time that people shouldn't just throw their skills and abilities under the bus that easily because those skills don't come along with drugs.. you have to train for them nontheless, even if their skills are enhanced by PEDs.

While I don't like PED users for the extant of injury they could inflict on their opponent (Vitor fucking up Bisping's eye), I will give the credit they deserve for their abilities.

I still think JJ might have used PEDs at some point because all the Jones bros popped and his opponents did said he was freakishly strong.. but I'm willing to accept Joe's crazy creatine cutting story as an explaination because it's possible of you think of it. Jones' biggest nemesis is not DC, it's just himself.. he screwed himself more than ever. Anderson Silva is also a strange case for me.. but I would like to think he only started using PEDs after unfortunately snapped his leg against pre-USADA Weidman (not that I'm saying Chris' on something too ). Brock is also a strong case for me as his wrestling is actually slick and his PED usage didn't even hurt too much to his opponents because his strikes are basically 'I'm doing something' GnP. And there is TRT Vitor ..... but I'm no PED apologist.
