if im the new UFC owner.....

[Macalpinerules]

if I'm the new UFC owner the first thing I'm doing is calling up Jeff novitsky and USADA and telling them their tenure with the UFC is done. I'll then establish my own testing agency which will consist of scheduled drug testing. I will let all fighters know that they can only be tested on the first or last day of the month. i'll then sit back and watch the roster go to full strength again.

Yep, just like the NFL. The entire league uses and the NFL is basically the biggest cash cow today.

So you want everybody on drugs?

Yep. It is hard enough putting on fights that fans want to see contending with injuries...now they have to worry about random testing?

Right, so the headlines the next day can read "UFC loosens drug testing regulations."

The sport is more mainstream than before, but you know the mainstream media will hunt down any opportunity to vilify it. Don't be an idiot, USADA is a step in the right direction, and there's really no going back now.

Yeah! Let's keep making a bad comparison between the NFL and the UFC because they are totally the same!

no, it was a stupid step in the wrong direction, but now that they made it, they surely can't backtrack on it cause it would have a huge blow on their perception to the media and the fans

they're both sports. MLB was fully loaded and it was their greatest moment. now everyone mocks them for being the most boring sport for americans (I believe that's the case)

Yeah! Lets keep making snarky comments without writing anything of substance!

 

[Mr Jay]

The substance of your comment is:

"NFL doesn't test for PEDs therefore the UFC shouldn't" which is more baffling than substance. We can continue in the other thread we are discussing this though.

For only 5 billion the 500 fighters and bunch of reebok apparel can be yours

Do it

Buy the Ufc

 

[ExitLUPin]

It's hilarious the league with the worst athletes relative to other top sports (NBA basketball/ NFL football etc) has by far the strictest testing

 

[Captain Herb]

Don't be scared homie.

Diaz bros coming.

You know, I've been thinking about how Nate always calls everyone out for being on 'steroids' but steroids are not the only PED. Other PEDs would be much better for, say, cardio. Interesting he always stipulates 'steroids' but not PEDs generally.

I would do the opposite. I would tell USADA that I would be willing to fund even more random testing.

Almost as hilarious as someone who thinks a team sport is comparable to an individual sport when discussing PED use.

The NFL conducts random drug tests.

If I'm the new owner, I'm wanting my fucking money back!

 

[Bah McGreGOAT]

Do you think all fighters have equal access to designer roids? So your setting up a system where only the top tier fighters making the top pay can afford to keep up with the top gear. That's a slippery slope.
