Hendricks, Aldo, Silva, Lawler, Hendo, Belfort
No proofs but we can all read between the lines

Mousasi was on fire after USADA. Shogun is undefeated but he has not looked like a world beater.Stipe and Woodley are the post usada goats atm.
Too many dropoffs to name so maybe the UFC brand had the biggest decline of all.
RDA? the guy is still a wrecking machine, he's only been outfought by two fighters with the best cardio in their weight classes in tony and colby.Top of my head:
Barao
Pettis
Hendricks
RDA
E.Silva
Belfort
Hendricks has to be pretty high on the list.
It was weird how Machida looked, by far, the best he's ever looked in his life against Mousasi. Somehow did it at the ripe age of like 38 too...I think Hendricks is the #1 example that I can think of. Machida had a pretty big drop too.
The correct answer is Ronda, she went from Champ to chump in the matter of months...
I would have her ex Travis Browne pretty close to her as well. Having seen his test data from the fight against Barnett im in no doubt he was gimmicked so kinda satisfying to see him fall down..
fwiw, heres the worst records post usada (post october 1st 2015)..
Evans, Lombard, Hendricks, Condit, Tibau are the most obvious...

It's only a half truth. I don't like the Manlet squad. But I also shit on it because it is a new weight class. It doesn't have the depth imo YET to really start saying mighty mouse is GOAT. 135 was at least around in the WEC days. This division was basically created for mighty mouse. It was started when drug testing even pre USADA was very strict. Give it more time to develop before we start saying who is the GOAT. It's like Ronda and WMMA. Lightweight and up have been around the longest. (Well technically heavyweight/openweight but you get where I'm coming from when it comes to modern mma with rules and time limits etc) I respect mighty mouse skills. But honestly when you do the math, how many 125ers have popped for peds? I can't think of a 1. While in other older established weight classes, the list is long and distinguished. 125 class is new and traditionally not based around peds.
At LW I mean, he had rough outings and hasn't looked the same.RDA? the guy is still a wrecking machine, he's only been outfought by two fighters with the best cardio in their weight classes in tony and colby.
It is not being offended, it is his reaction and speech pattern that made him suspicious.I'll never understand the logic that if I throw a baseless accusations at anybody that depicts them as a cheater and they get offended and say it's not true
That now it's true.

He was super defensive and provided a lot of unnecessary information.
Yeah, but I think if he kept a good diet, he would still be a top 10 wwHendricks has to be pretty high on the list.

He wasn't dramatic when Nate accused of everyone (not just McGregor) of using steroids, he was super defensive and tried to convince people with long explanation. He could laugh it off if he was innocentYou mean Conor was over dramatic at a press conference?? Yea totally out of character...

Just a note. Usada only started testing properly on October 1st of that year. That's when athletes started providing location info etc.This list is joke. USADA started testing 1 July 2015.
Lawler won belt before USADA, and defended it twice after.
Weidman was not able to handle weight cut after USADA.
Aldo won against Edgar 1 year after USADA, and won interim FW belt.
Dominick Cruz won belts before and after USADA.
Jedrzejczyk won belt and defended it before USADA, and then defended it 4 times after USADA.
Only 3 champions from 2015 are suspicious:
Jon Jones - obvious PED user, proven cheater
Werdum - was caught recently, possible cheater
Ronda - totall disaster after USADA came, who tf knows, possible
That's it.
