Is the new drug testing killing all of our mythical hero fighter? Did you like it the way it was?

[jjdowns]

I know it's good that they're leveling the playing field and all, blah, blah, blah. But come on, all of the greats are falling so fast it's getting kinda sad. Is all this testing worth it if everybody is going to fail and we're just going to have the boring guys left? Did you like it the way it was before? Thoughts?

USADA is a criminal enterprise.

I don't really care if you do shit during training, as long as you aren't on heavy shit when the fight happens.

Cheating.................................. A LOT of people fucking cheat in the UFC.

....but but, in LIFE, you deserve PUNISHMENT if you get caught.

Plain and simple.

Hasn't killed my mythical fighters: GSP and Fedor, so I'm okay with it.

 

[batafrak]

One by one it'll eliminate everyone until just Bisping is left and thus considered the GOAT by default

He called out the MW champ.

 

[Headkicktoleg]

He called out the MW champ.

THen said he would be a LW. Must have aliens on the brain

Cant lie , USADA is ruining the sport from an entertainment standpoint. They just need to accept almost everyone is doing something at this level

 

[HwoarangStyle]

theyre fucking stupid, they should of all cleaned up as soon as this advanced testing was announced. it isn't going away, and they are serious about it.

 

[Goatenstein]

I love the butthurt UFC fanboys experience when USADA busts one of their beloved fighters.

If it forces you to find better heroes to worship than Jon Jones and Brock Lesnar, it can't be a bad thing.

 

[lecter]

He called out the MW champ.

And the FW champ. I think he's confused.

 

[OneGloveGracie]

no I like it better now. everyone on an even playing field. This is only a speed bump. After everyone realizes these drug tests are serious business, there won't be as many people caught. And if there are people caught, they will be caught before they become champions or really popular in the sport so nobody will care.

And Anderson, Machida, BJ, etc...

This is a tough subject, on the one hand I actually like talented fighers being able to fight longer at a high level due to enhancements (Henderson, Belfort) are 2 great examples HOWEVER the issue is the even playing field... Is a juiced to the gills old Belfort a fair fight for a at the tail end of their prime "clean" fighter. PEDs would allow our favorite fighters to fight at a high level for much longer but again it causes issues with having a level playing field. It benefits guys with skill whose physical traits are diminishing. I guess at the end of the day the only fair way to do it is the high level drug testing to create as even a playing field as possible.

No, I think old fighters need to hang up the gloves even when I want them to last like vitor belfort. It is just weird to see an older guy move like a 20 year old and I think it is only going to harm them.
