I saw a special on HBO real sports with bryant gumble. Apparently Kingsbury is training with some guy that was famous for making steroids. He was one of the people that supplied Barry Bonds. He was caught and arrested a while ago. He used to be a chemist and one of the largest steroid providers in sports.

I am convinced that 90% of these guys are juicing. Sadly, I think Maia is on the stuff now too.2012: +19.33

He's on that new "diet". LOL
The night before he fought Ricardo Romero at UFC 126, Kyle Kingsbury soaked his bed with sweat. He had a fever. His throat was tickling too.
“I can’t even imagine how many pounds I lost in my sleep,” Kingsbury (Pictured) said recently on the Sherdog Radio Network’s “Beatdown” show.
Turns out he had spent too much time in the steam room working his weight down, resulting in some fluid in his lungs that brought on the other symptoms. Kingsbury fought anyway. He won too, stopping Romero just 21 seconds into the first round.
“It was pretty bad, but I just put it in the back of my head and really didn’t give it too much attention,” Kingsbury said. “I didn’t even tell my coaches until after the fight. Thankfully it didn’t end up going three rounds because I would have been hurting in the third round there for sure.”
After the fight Kingsbury needed an IV and drank an additional gallon of fluids. Despite his dehydrated state, he looked to be in tremendous shape.
“I try to come in as lean as I can,” Kingsbury said. “That way I know that whatever I’m walking around at, it’s all muscle and bones. You look at other guys that maybe don’t do that, and it’s kind of mindboggling to me why if you’re in any weight class other than heavyweight, how you would carry extra fat knowing that you’re really at a disadvantage.”
Kingsbury has his regimen down to a science. It includes a strict diet that begins 10 weeks before the fight as well as blood tests every three to four weeks that let him keep a close eye on his body’s state.
With that said, it may sound strange that Kingsbury ended up so ill the night before his bout.
“By fight day, if all goes well, you feel like you’re invincible. You’re indestructible. Nothing’s going to get to you,” Kingsbury said. “That’s on one hand. On the other hand, you really can’t make any changes to whatever normal routine you’ve become accustomed to. Because you’ve eliminated all of these bad things from your body, you’re almost like a baby. You can’t take any new things into you. For instance, the steam room, which I wasn’t accustomed to, I wound up having an adverse reaction. … I didn’t really think about how fragile everything is at that point in my body. Going into that steam room didn’t seem like it hurt me and then I spent a little too much time in there.”
Of course, Kingsbury came out on top anyway and has now won three straight in the UFC. He credits his teammates at American Kickboxing Academy and Power MMA for his improvement.
“That’s really what it is,” Kingsbury said. “I’ve been working with a lot of great guys at AKA. I’ve also been working with a lot of great guys at Power MMA, with Ryan Bader, C.B. Dollaway, Aaron Simpson, those guys. I’ve got the best of both worlds, training in Arizona as well as California. The sky’s the limit when you surround yourself with guys that are better than you.”

Grudge Training Center product Eliot Marshall will likely return to the Octagon against Luis “Banha” Cane at UFC 128. Cane was left without an opponent for the event when Karlos Vemola withdrew from their bout with a mouth infection earlier this week.
Sherdog.com has confirmed the 205-pound matchup with a source close to the bout; Tatame.com originally reported the news on Wednesday morning. Bout agreements have reportedly been distributed, though the fight has not yet been finalized.
UFC 128, which will be headlined by a light heavyweight title clash between champion Mauricio “Shogun” Rua and challenger Jon Jones, will go down March 19 at the Prudential Center in Newark, N.J.
A cast member of “The Ultimate Fighter 8,” Marshall was eliminated from the show by powerful wrestler and eventual season winner Ryan Bader. Following his stint on “TUF,” Marshall earned three consecutive wins inside the Octagon, besting Jules Bruchez, Vinny Magalhaes and Jason Brilz before dropping a split nod to former International Fight League 205-pound champ Vladimir Matyushenko. Following the defeat, Marshall was cut from the promotion’s highly-competitive light heavyweight ranks. Since losing his spot in the UFC, “The Fire” has earned three straight wins, most recently submitting Chris McNally in December.
Cane looks to rebound from consecutive losses for the first time in his five-year pro career. After being disqualified in his 2007 UFC debut against James Irvin, the Brazilian rattled off three straight wins, knocking off Jason Lambert, Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou and former WEC light heavyweight champion Steve Cantwell. Recently, however, Cane has found himself on the wrong end of two knockouts, as he fell to Antonio Rogerio Nogueira and Cyrille Diabate at UFC 106 and UFC 114, respectively.Comment

15 pounds of actual lean muscle mass in 2 months is damn near physiologically impossible. MAYBE if you have never lifted a weight and were prone to adding muscle mass. Not saying you are lying, but it is probably more fat and water than you realize.
It just isnt that easy to add muscle, especially for guys that have already been lifting. That said, even if they added 1 or 2 pounds per month (which would be more realistic) they would look significantly bigger when we see them 8 months later for their next fight. So maybe I am being too skeptical. I just tend to think that these guys that are already in great shape probably did a lot of training before, then to suddenly start adding lean mass, it just doesn't match up with what i witness every day. Throughout my life I have known guys that lifted and trained their asses off, and to the man, the guys that seemed extraordinary with their builds- they were all juicing or black.2012: +19.33

Right. X just said he gained 15 pounds, not 15 pounds of muscle. But no one is pointing the finger at a guys who just got fatter...
I always chuckle (on the inside) when I hear people worrying about bulking up. It is quite difficult to add muscle mass. My wife thinks if she lifts a 10 pound dumbell she is going to look like Hulk Hogan.Last edited by MMA_scientist; 02-23-2011, 04:00 PM.2012: +19.33
