The "in an organization in Japan that didn't test for PEDs" fallacy that UFC fans try to use.

[Bisping124]

Does it seem that the UFC has been full of PED/banned substance users for a long time? Seems so.

Yes, but at least some of them get caught and punished sometimes.

That's the difference.

 

[Mga223]

The fact fighters are getting caught and big names at that show they are trying to get fighters.

Pride was "take what you want"

 

[Shoot Boxe Hero]

At least the UFC actually tests for PEDs and punishes those who get caught.

I don't care about any of that,

I just want Blood

It's just dumb fans showing their naivety. When a pussy sport like cycling is competely rife with roiders, you've gotta have some pretty big blinkers on to think guys that punch people in the face for a living would be too honest to do such a thing.

When the only test they received were on fight night, it would have been incredibly easy to be roiding 95% of the time and still piss clean 2-3 times a year.

 

[Scyther]

That's your big comeback when PED use was was rampant for years in pride. Pride is dead, it's legacy is more irrelevant by the day.

 

[Mixedfights]

How long has it been? Jeez.

But the UFC doesn't encourage their fighters to use and actually test for it.

Pride encouraged steroid use but were against recreational drugs like marijuana and cocaine.

Exactly. And I"m quite sure all of T.S. Pride heroes were taking things...

As shady as Pride was in regards to doping, I highly doubt they had more juicers than the UFC does. People are getting caught left and right these days. Open your eyes.

USADA will expose many more heroes of yours. The're going to drop like flies. One by one. Be assured.

 

[wilKO]

If anything Pride was better because it was fair game. Everyone could take whatever. In UFC 90% cheat and the 10% get screwed over.

 

[Tormund]

PRIDE didn't just allow them they encouraged them.

cycling is extremely physically demanding on the human body so thats a shitty example
easier to be a world champ while ped free than cycling

That's even worse. Either let everyone do it or none. Even playing field and all.

But the UFC doesn't encourage their fighters to use and actually test for it.

Pride encouraged steroid use but were against recreational drugs like marijuana and cocaine.

But for many years they were fine with turning a blind eye to all the medically cleared cases of "hypogonadism" among their fighters. As long as the fighter made it to fight week the UFC didn't care what they took, because the test results would come out well after the event after the UFC raked in the cash off tickets and PPVs.

Hell, Vitor was booked for how many fights straight in Brazil? Vitor's doctor is the commissioner for CABMMA, who was the one that gave him TRT clearance. Vitor overjuiced leading up his fight with Jones in Toronto and the UFC covered it up.

The UFC is definitely earning back legitimacy points with their USADA partnership, but they changed only after the biggest names in the company started getting popped left/right.

When a pussy sport like cycling is competely rife with roiders

There isn't a single athlete in MMA who is as elite, disciplined and committed as a top cyclist.

 

[giancaakos54]

It's all about amplitude. Like a "natural" bodybuilder vs. IFBB pro. Both are using, but one has a blood stream that would test as 80% synthetic substances.

Hey, mate. What's up? Hope you're fine.
