McGregor juicing? Say it ain’t so!

uberdroog@lemmy.world on 09 Jul 09:52 next collapse

They punch each other for a living, who cares.

What the hell are you talking about. If anything that makes it much worse

Maybe some people believe they should all equally be able to drug up as much as they want. They’re beating each other up for money and fun anyway. Maybe increase the spectacle. Fights between the best fighters science can create.

The day the cybernetic implants start will be a hell of day.

They just tried that with the Enhanced Games and it sucked.

Maybe increase the spectacle.

So let them fight to the death? Sells more chicken!

For who? The person thinking, “look, I am willing to have my face turned into hamburger and have a high chance of brain damage but I draw a hard line if someone is juicing?” Or the chuds betting on it?

If someone has an unfair advantage when they’re doing a bike race, then that person steals the other person’s glory and money. If someone has an unfair advantage during a fight then they’re stealing the other person’s glory and money AND they get beat to a fucking bloody pulp when they shouldn’t have.

For who?

Average age of death in NFL linemen is 55.

theherk@lemmy.world on 09 Jul 10:18 next collapse

People that value sportsmanship.

SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca on 09 Jul 11:16 next collapse

No, this is UFC, where rapists and assholes wail on each other.

uberdroog@lemmy.world on 09 Jul 13:56 next collapse

Physical violence for entertainment is so hot right now. You are right, I do not value this as sportsmanship.

ms_lane@lemmy.world on 09 Jul 14:21 collapse

Can’t we also just have a juice games?

the_riviera_kid@lemmy.world on 09 Jul 11:29 next collapse

^this^ They are a bunch of brain dead meat heads who contribute nothing to society. If they want to get all juiced up before they punch each other fucking let them.

magnue@lemmy.world on 09 Jul 11:53 next collapse

So inclusive

triptrapper@lemmy.world on 09 Jul 12:51 collapse

Wow, that’s quite a statement. There’s definitely a higher-than-average group of meat heads and assholes (both the fighters and the fans) but they’re also athletes like any other. Many of them have trained their entire lives to compete. McGregor is the most visible, and unfortunately he’s an absolute piece of shit, but it’s ignorant to project that onto every martial artist.

the_riviera_kid@lemmy.world on 09 Jul 13:30 collapse

look at me over here not giving a fuck, any organization or person that cooperates with the maga regime can fuck all the way off.

Lemmyoutofhere@lemmy.ca on 09 Jul 12:33 collapse

Agreed.

MJF@thelemmy.club on 09 Jul 10:49 next collapse

Par for the course concerning him, scummy through and through.

the_riviera_kid@lemmy.world on 09 Jul 11:32 next collapse

Conor McGregor is also a fucking rapist.

errer@lemmy.world on 09 Jul 12:30 next collapse

I assumed everyone in the UFC was juiced to the tits

someguy3@lemmy.world on 09 Jul 13:33 next collapse

This was when he broke his leg. Probably still against the rules.

finallymadeanaccount@lemmy.world on 09 Jul 13:47 next collapse

gasp No! You can’t trust anyone these days! The world’s gone to pot!
