Honestly, I've really come to appreciate USADA...

Love it.

Eventually fighters will either learn to operate within the rules or leave, and things will get back to normal.
 
If that's how you feel, maybe we should have the cheats tie one arm around their backs and let the fight go on.

It's only fair.

I wanna see two fighters at their best fight. Not some last min replacement fight like DC vs Anderson.
 
I have no idea why people get pissed at the testers instead of the cheaters.

This is why I made the thread. Some people are acting like it was such a disappointment and blaming USADA.

Brock Lesnar is the one who cheated and I'm glad USADA was here to expose him.
 
You don't need ped's to have good conditioning, unless you want a short cut to get it
better...

whatever level the person you have in mind, good or bad, they would be better with the help of PEDs

keep in mind, im not saying fights are not good without PEDs
 
I'm glad when they catch people who are actually using but not for stupid shit like Machida and BJ got busted for. I feel like we're going to miss out on some great fights because a fighter drank too much coffee or something.
 
As long as they bring the integrity after the fight takes place.
 
I agree TS. USADA is supposed to be busting fighters, if they weren't they wouldn't be doing their job.
 
Yeah it absolutely blows my mind that people would rather watch roided out freaks than real men fighting. I don't watch this sport to see who is better at cycling steroids. I want to see who has more heart and skill in a fair contest. It's why I got so sick of watching other sports and I'm glad MMA is taking a stand to not turn into the NFL.

Well said.
 
Well said by many in this thread. Get upset with the cheaters not the people who are trying to make sure its a fair fight.
 
I must say that I'm impressed. I thought it would be a joke and no high profile fighters would ever be busted.

Yea me too, holy fuck. I would never imagine that 2 of the biggest names would get popped within a short time like that. If Brock isn't untouchable I guess that means Conor isn't either.
 
It's better for the clean fighters so yes I suppose an advocate. Can't really blame them for fighters get busted. It's a step in the right direction for a cleaner sport which is good. Great fights getting scrapped always duck's but cheaters getting busted and punished is worth it.

Conor's shitting a brick right now.

100%

It is ridiculous when posters do.

If you're a drug cheat the world should crumble around you, not USADA.

No time for drug cheats (I don't care who they are). I bought $350 Oakley Livestrong Jawbones and I refuse to wear them now. If Conor was ever caught he could F*ck off too.
 
As a long time fan, its pretty eye opening. USADA isnt playing any games with the UFC and its pretty refreshing.
 
TS - explain the "sketchy practices" a bit.

Well for example, it's been shown that Brazilian fighters get tested far more often than American fighters. Like dramatically so. That seemed kind of sketchy to me.
