It's a fact no matter if the organization is Pride FC, UFC, whatever, there are many fighters shooting up. Most people accept this, because people in general view MMA fighters as Modern Day Gladiators. Taking roids is viewed as a survival skill.robdoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09550102720161836884noreply@blogger.com
