“His Cycle Is Equivalent to an IFBB Pros” – Fans Lose It at Movsar ...

In the world of bodybuilding, the use of PEDs is a controversial yet common topic. While frowned upon, these substances are not explicitly restricted, and many Mr. Olympia finalists and IFBB pros have admitted to using them to maximize their physiques. In stark contrast, PEDs are strictly prohibited in combat sports, where athletes risk disqualification and reputational damage for their use. This is why accusations of PED use often create significant uproar.

Such was the case when Aljamain Sterling, ahead of his bout at UFC 310, accused his undefeated opponent, Movsar Evloev, of using PEDs. The claim sent shockwaves through the MMA community, sparking heated debates. The controversy surrounding Evloev didn’t end there. The Russian fighter, who boasts an 18-0 record, made headlines again when he vowed to abstain from consuming sugar until he becomes a UFC champion.

Fans quickly brought up Sterling’s PED allegations in response to an Instagram post sharing Evloev’s bold declaration, reigniting discussions about the accusations. Let’s see what the MMA world is saying!

Many UFC fighters share training experiences, and opponents Ian Garry and Shavkat Rakhmonov are prime examples of former training partners turned competitors. Similarly, Aljamain Sterling claims to have connections with fighters from Movsar Evloev’s region in Russia. Sterling recently stirred controversy by suggesting that PED use might be prevalent among some fighters from that area. This led him to publicly speculate that Evloev might also be using PEDs.

The accusations came alongside a different conversation surrounding Evloev’s disciplined diet. The undefeated Russian fighter had vowed to avoid sugar until he becomes a UFC champion, a promise he shared with Ring Side 24, “I haven’t consumed sugar for four months now. I eat a lot of fruit—there is a lot of sugar, but it is natural, not added. I feel full of energy, I sleep better, and my stomach works well.”

While some fans applauded his discipline, others used the opportunity to revisit Sterling’s PED accusations. Comments ranged from humorous to skeptical, with one follower quipping, “Fun fact, his piss would melt a sample cup, and his cycle is equivalent to an IFBB pro,” and another adding, “Why start eating sugar when you reach your goals? Weird logic.”

Aljamain Sterling, speaking with Ariel Helwani, clarified that his claims were speculative, “We’ve all heard the same accusations about, you know, respectfully, like I said, I have friends from that region. It’s different… I thought guys had been in gear. You don’t know until they pop for something. My body looks the same as it did when I was 21 years old. Like, nothing’s changed”

Fans had mixed reactions to Evloev’s no-sugar approach. One said, “Carbs are sugar as well; he probably means industrial sugar like in chocolate and stuff,” while another commented, “Bro thinks he’s better than us, huh.” Others questioned the logic behind eliminating sugar, citing its benefits for athletes. According to TrueSport.Org. “Sugar is a great energy source before, during, and after a workout because we know this type of carbohydrate is quickly digested and easier on the stomach,”

One fan remarked, “Let’s see how he performs then; sugar has huge benefits for athletes.” On the other hand, some accused Evloev of PED use, with one follower bluntly stating, “Those Russian r**ds hit differently.”

The no-sugar debate and PED accusations have created a buzz ahead of UFC 310. Do you think Movsar Evloev’s sugar-free lifestyle is an advantage or a hindrance? And what about Sterling’s PED speculations—do they hold any weight? Share your thoughts in the comments below!
