An out of competition drug test.. Didn't fail for PEDs.. ffs its something similar to creatine that can be bought at Walmart, if I read correctly? What's the big deal here, why am I seeing people call Lyoto Machida a piece of shit? For DHEA?! yea, what a shitty person..

I just don't understand why the UFC pulled this fight from the card for that, especially knowing the fans were gonna start complaining about refunds etc since Fergie, Shogun and now Machida got pulled ? It really sucks that UFC Tampa was looking to be one of the best cards of the year :(

Welcome to Sherdog Tony.

I have a question. On a scale of 1-10 how ashamed were you when you got injured, knowing that your trash talking leading up to the fight resolved around making fun of Khabib's "glass body"?
 
What´s worse is that Hendo is pissed!
 
its crazy that they couldnt find a replacement. its not that hard. most young guys would be dying at the chance to beat a guy like Henderson on their record and for their career.
 
Ladies and gentleman, welcome to the MachiDHEA Error.
 
I don't think it's as bad as failing for many other substances. Still, the rules are in place and he broke them, even if just by ignorance. If they ban pasta and inform you, you don't eat pasta. It's really simple.
If you wanna argue against the rule, do so before getting caught.
He broke a rule, so there should be punishment. I don't think he should get the minimum penalty, considering the circumstances.
I'm still a Machida fan though.
 
It wouldn't have been that big of a deal, but he tested for double the amount since he drinks his own piss.

Tony was just trying to get that El Tapo money! He was doing a great job too..I believe Tony would have won by tko or sub. Due ro having better stricking and sub game plus good ttd
 
The rules say if you take DHEA then you cannot fight. Where do you see ambiguity in that?
