This past week we seen not 1 but 2 huge busts in the ufc for steriods. Both cases to already thin divisions and two of their more marketable names. Outside of brand recognition and exposure what is there in the ufc? As a mma fighter if your gym turns a blind eye or helps and you your self cheat why even bother with the ufc and usada? There's no union, health benefits, retirement, no individual sponsors, etc..
Other promotions arent nearly as stringent. If you're a marketable name the pay would be equal or greater. Not saying as a fan that this right or wrong but as a fighter if you cheat (and apparently a lot do) why even bother with the ufc at this point? Why not choose the path of least resistance?
Does anyone else think between some fighters choosing to walk voluntarily and now these busts that we'll see more fighters walking from the UFC and more raw talent opting to stay with say bellator, ksw, one fc?
