Struve may not be the same person after being KO'ed by Mark Hunt or having that life threatening heart surgery. That has to suck considering Struve TKO'ed Stipe Miocic years back and looked to be a future contender at one time in his career. Alexander Volkov looks to be training harder and preparing better in the UFC than he did when he fought in bellator. Its not like Struve is losing against unskilled low tier fighters, Volkov deserves credit for stepping his game up big time.
I think the Superman punch that Travis Browne hit on Struve may have been the beginning and Mark Hunt KO'ed put an exclamation point on Struve career. Although he is riding a 2 or 3 fight winning streak the scar that left on him on those 2 fights really surface on the fight with Volkov as I have mentioned that he is gassing out again.
There's a lot of things in Jon Jones latest USADA positive that don't add up. Jones could be innocent. Using steroids 3 weeks before a fight doesn't make sense. The last time Jones tested positive for clomiphene there were only trace amounts in his sample that wouldn't have an effect on his fight or be enough to serve as a masking agent. The quantity of steroids in Jones sample will be one key issue once more info on the situation is released.
I haven't check the latest on Jones latest USADA situation. Thanks for the heads up though. Usually clomid is used when you have completed your cycle if I'm not mistaken but why he would do that if its only 3 weeks prior to the fight?
It could be that for some reason these traces didn't get metabolized and where still there. The situation is definitely strange, but what was found was really found for whatever reason, irrelevantly of the timming.
Why would you take clomid if it's not because of steroid usage? it's obvious he used something. He's a lanky 6'4'' guy, he put so many lbs of muscle mass and I dont believe in miracles.
