How different do you think the current line of champs would be if the UFC stuck with the old method of drug testing? How would the top 5 of each division look? If I remember correctly, drug tests were only given fight night by the State athletic commission and TRT was given out to just about anybody. Seems like failed drug tests have postponed and ruined many top 10 fighters in the UFC since USADA was brought to the sport.
HW would be in a golden age An Enhanced Lesnar, Ubereem, JDS would be scary for any contender trying to make their way up the ladder. Jones would be undisputed GOAT, probably be on a 15+ win streak with a cleaned out LHW division and on his way to HW . At middleweight Fighters like Whittaker and Gegard would be competing in the top 10 with TRT Vitor/Hendo, along with pre USADA Weidman/Rockhold/Yoel/Souza/Machida/Silva. Could possibly the greatest era of fighters at MW.
The first fighter that comes to mind when I think pre USADA at WW is Johnny Hendricks. At LW Khabib might find a way to cut the right amount of weight AND eat his Teramisu. What if at BW Cruz was able to take steroids to help heal his knees? Would he have been able to hold off TJ and Cody?
We can all just agree JJ and Cyborg would rule the Women's division.
My list would be:
HW: Ubereem 1) Stipe 2) JDS 3) Lesnar 4) Werdum 5)Ngannou (Cain would probably be injured still)
LHW: Jones 2) Cormier 3) Gus 4) Oezdimir 5) Glover
MW: Rockhold 2) Weidman 3) Silva 4) Yoel 5) Whittaker
WW: Woodley 1) Thompson 2) Lawler 3) McDonald 4)Hendricks 5) Maia
LW: Ferguson 1) Khabib 2) Connor 3) Lee 4) Barbosa 5)Gatehje
FW: Holloway 1) Aldo 2) Frankie 3) Mendes 4) Lamas 5) Choi
BW: TJ (I'm picking him to win) 1) Cody 2) Cruz 3) Rivera 4)Rivera 5)Barao?
FW: Same
On a side note: think of some of the main event/title fights fights we've missed out, especially in the heavier divisions. UFC would have a lot more bigger fights/fighters to push.
