OK, so who is the all-time best UFC fighter on roids, and why?
Let's limit this to fighters who we know were on roids at the time of the actual performance. We don't know for sure how long guys like A. Silva or Shammy had been on the juice, so let's leave them out for argument's sake because they didn't test positive along with great performances. Let's also not discuss guys that have never come up positive, even if we suspect them.
I think it comes down to 3 obvious picks- Vitor, Reem, and Jones. All 3 were video game great when juiced to the gill. Many would choose Jones, but it could just as well be the other 2, and my pick:
Reem. Yes, he sucked when he came off the juice, but I think he was pretty unbeatable at the time he extinguished Lesnar; he definitely would have gone on to be a dominant champion if not for the urinalysis spoiling his party. He is the only one IMO that could have won the belt in 2 different sports- K1 as well as the UFC- when he was roided.
