Can USADA make Bellator the place to be?

[VIPERdude]

No Reebok at Bellator should be a big part of your argument, TS, IMO.

Thanks man, i added that to my point. Reebok not allowing sponsorships fighters made money from is a huge part of fighters dislike for the UFC's policies.

I thought the UFC was a place for cheaters as well?

It is my understanding that the ufc initiated all of this usada bullshit? I'm not 100 % percent on that but is that correct ?
If so its all on them. Usada isn't ruining shit , they are just doing the jobs instructed of them .

Coker said they have thier own random testing and wont ever need USADA

I didn't say anything about the USADA. Context: IF Bellator OVERTOOK UFC's place as an MMA promotion, they would be under a far bigger microscope than they are now and would probably have to revise their PED-testing philosophies immensely.

UFC doesn't want to pay USADA massive amount of money to create PR disasters for them. They know they have to do, though.

pay more attention. i have clearly underlined the part I found amusing in the quote I made of your post .

well its true...Romero got suspended for 2 years then back to only 6 months for a mistaken supplement. Advil is banned. Like really man. Also as another user mentioned fighters losing money now because they have to wear Reebok shit only and no longer their sponsorship's. I make certain points so others can think of other points I didnt mention. Thats why discussing instead of "lmao" is a lot better to address.

well dont get me wrong USADA is doing there job. BUT its killing UFC's fighters over small things. GRANTED the big shit has been caught as well, but people flagged over advil, am ingredient in a GNC supplement, an ingredient in toothpaste....cmon really its a bit ridiculous you have to admit

ok i see your point. I guesss I would like to thank you for the fact your not an idiot and had a good argument. I cant stand people who read a title and then respond. Thank you

vitor would make a killing at bellator

 

[Brit_Brawler]

discuss. You find it funny, so explain intelligently, if you can (no disrespect) why do you think USADA isnt killing the UFC?

i agree it's having a negative impact yes but I'm just saying wtf were the Ufc doing ? Agreeing to something like that .
The other orgs don't abide by usuada.
It's not like they can suddenly say they don't want to use them anymore either else it will just look like they support cheating.
They are fucked now .

 

[The Blue Bird]

It gives the fighters a place to got to make money one way or another

Bellator is full of juiced fighters.. Pretty clear.. They're on old-school testing so we're a ways away from being able to properly monitor the smaller organizations. I'd imagine Bellator would be next, but over half the guys would be pissing hot during training camps. Look at these faces

Thats the choice of the company. Bellator knows what they have. They are seeing UFC and its failing. Fighters want to leave. Frank Mir....Dillashaw ...and Mark Hunt....Others want to leave also, where do you think they will go?

I think the most "tweeting" fighters actually love usada
