Remember what mma was like prior to 2015 thats what we could be in for

MMA will never be like it was pre-Conor ever again. He was MMA's 9/11.

What a terrible fucking post

State athletic commissions still do drug testing. The only way this’ll change anything is in areas that don’t have a sanctioning body for MMA. We’ll probably see a lot more Abu Dhabi cards in the future.

I am not saying they are going into Pride style free doping, but I do think we will see a lot fewer people popping, and I also believe the people that pop will not always be revealed to us.

At least in PRIDE everyone followed the same rules. Now the stars and the people the brass likes or wants to push, we'll get free passes and the plebs are going to be scrutinized.

mma from 2009- 2014 was the goat era.

UFC on FUEL TV was not the GOAT era. If anything, 2012-2014 was a dark period.

Although I'm kind of doubtful since it seems like belator and every other promotion took a step down to. I think its more than just USADA that changed the game and made fights slower.

Then again maybe fighters from other promotions avoided using anything knowing one day they'd go to the ufc and would be required to be clean. Either way this is promising.

There were several fighters on PEDs throughout all of USADA.

Well tell us why, Crash-override.

You're not bright enough to comprehend why that was a terrible distasteful post? Not surprising

You know they're still drug testing, right? Just by a different company.

Yeah. Like the nba and nfl. Lebron James can naturally run like a deer in his 40s. At 270lbe

Wtf does “suggest suspensions” mean?

There aren’t mandatory penalties, or what?

lol and the guy who is heading up "suggesting penalties" is a guy that trains at ATT.

What this means from what I can see is that they can be selective in who gets busted. It's common knowledge that the UFC has basically let guys compete knowing they were positive (Brock, Vitor), so this is truly opening up corruption.

Explain it to me like I'm a young child. Is it because you once knew a guy whose friend's aunt used to live in Hoboken during 9/11 and you're offended on her behalf? Or were you too chickenshit to go off to war after 9/11 and now you overcompensate by acting self-righteous whenever someone makes a 9/11 joke? You seem to be the purveyor of both humor and morality, so please, tell me exactly what it was I said that was distasteful, and describe why it was in bad taste. What If I said Conor was the Pearl Harbor of MMA? Is that less offensive or does that also hurt your feelings, Crash-override?

That's what they say. UFC is dishonest about a lot of things.
