what ends a baseball hitter's career is his reaction to the highest speed fastballs. its not his power that goes. pitchers go after the oldest hitters with the hardest fastballs. and testosterone slowly declines as you age. i wouldn't call you a nOOb though because research on exactly why testosterone and steroids make athletes better is still ongoing. it is a difficult subject. | ||

Maybe it allows you to take a punch better too. Big foot went from taking bombs from Mark Hunt be being knocked cold by a hard breeze. | ||

McGregor said in the UFC202 press conference that the 145 pounds division is "his division" and he will come back to defend his title. If this means a re-match between him and Aldo, I'm super pumped for that ^^ | ||
