The Fertittas could not have sold the UFC at a better time. USADA=kryptonite

[VIPERdude]

Its been pure insanity... It seems that the the decision to "clean up the sport" has been biting the UFC in the ass ever since they chose to take hold of this double edged sword if you will... In my opinion, Dana White (though he may say otherwise) such as having USADA now and the anti-doping policies are great for the sport and will only make it better... just SEEMS to be backfiring completely. I understand the intention to catch guys doping here, and there, that was the idea. I highly doubt they imagined the outcome they are having now would take place. So far the 2 biggest draws for UFC 200 Brock Lesnar and Jon Jones now have "WTF" asterisks, with Brock having one next to his win if not changed to no contest. DEPENDING on what it was for.
I think the Fertittas saw this coming, selling this headache couldn't have been at a better time. Unfortunately, Dana White still has to deal with it. My question to everyone here if I may get your opinions. Do you think USADA (even though they're doing their job)...can this kill the sport. Can this potentially kill the reputations of the best fighters we have seen. Anderson Silva, Jon Jones, etc. Its sad, but is this what we have to look forward to?

I hope everyone flames you like they did me BEFORE Ufc 200 became a disaster both in terms of ppv and steroid witch hunts

Funny part is, they would never pass a test. Hahaha.

Athletes take supplements. What's in them totally will not always be in the ingredients. The ban list is insane. I think I heard Rogan say Advil is on the ban list.

[MichaelCole1]

This is exactly what happened when Cersi got in bed with the faith on Game of Thrones! Beneficial at first but came back to quickly bite her in the ass!

 

[Wrapup]

UFC should have the same testing policies as the NFL or NBA, no need for an inch more or less.

USADA is testing for fucking dyphenhydramine. Which is the sleep aid in Tylenol PM. LOL are you fuckin kidding me?

Absolutely correct. Those leagues wouldn't even think about introducing WADA style testing. They are a lot smarter than that they know exactly how much they have to lose.

 

[LuchaBear]

Fertittas stay winning

This USADA was a mistake. Flame me all you want.. UFC was fully capable of initiating their OWN stricter policy of testing. They are gonna ruin the sport. For MMA USADA is not a good thing when it comes to business. It fucked over UFC 200. It made Anderson look to be a roid user now his legacy is questioned. Mir has to tell everyone its the kangaroos fault. Now Lesnar who probably just took advil for a headache got flagged for doping. Nick Diaz suspended for Weed, thankfully it was reduced. It wont stop there. I liked it better pre USADA when it comes to entertainment and thats what I care about. I want to see good fights. I am sure there are TONS who agree with me, and some out there who will be for it and thats their right.

People think the banned list is "Steroids, HGH, TRT, drugs" they don't realize the ridiculous amounts of chemicals on the list and how specific they get.

Lesnar could have failed for anything, but they could come out and say it was percocet and Lesnar will still forever be called a "juicehead".

Pretty much no one around here wanted this because they want a clesn sport, they just wanted to say "told you so!" and hate away.

I think he's more than dabbled in a lot of stuff. But to see 15 "they shouldn't even test guys!" threads a month followed by witch hunts on guys who get regular hate anyway, is just weak.
