Bas Rutten talks Steroids and MMA
What’s going on with steroids in MMA? Many people have been getting caught using steroids, it’s getting crazy!

Bas RuttenI hope that all the upcoming fighters don’t look up to these guys who use because let me tell you that it’s not about who has the biggest muscles, it’s about who has the biggest cojones. Fighting, and I have said this many times, is a MENTAL game. Sure you need to be in peak condition, but if that was all it took, then everybody would do it right? It’s about who can take a punch and come back after, who can bite through the hard workouts (without using a substance that makes them apparently more motivated), and most important, who can stay relaxed during the fight so that he can perform the best.

That’s the trick to fighting well, being relaxed. We know all these “Dojo fighters”, they are really good in training and brag all day long that they tapped this professional fighter and that professional fighter, but have never fought a fight themselves. I always wonder why? I mean, if you are that good, why don’t you fight? You know, I don’t wonder why because I know the answer, fear is the answer. The reason they don’t fight is because of fear.
