Weidman: If I would've lost to Silva I'd be thinking about if he was on PEDs

All he ever talks about is PEDs. He could be attending a cook out or funeral and somehow PEDs would be part of it.

Interviewer: Hey Chris, Anderson Silva's court hearing was today and we would like to talk about steroids and PED use. So let's begin. Let's say hypothetically, Silva beat you in either of your fights and later was busted for PED use, would you worry he cheated in your fights?

Weidman: I talk about this too much even though it's provoked by you interviewers. Tasticles and many shertards think it makes me look guilty so let's talk about where you can buy my Reebok kit instead.

Can you just use your own logic, Weidman would kill people if he was on something you admit it yourself they have such a great effect on a fighters performance that they would "kill" people if they are on it. Now Weidman is destroying people that are on this would "kill" people drug.

Who are those people? And I don't think Silva was on PEDs fighting Chris to be honest. And even if some of his opponents were on something and he beat them, I honestly think Weidman is just that good.
And him destroying people has very little to do with the strength PEDs give you,he is not extremely strong or extremely fast. He is just super well rounded and has one of the highest IQ s in UFC. There is little to nothing that can make you suspect he is on PEDs in Weidmans performances or his appearance. All your assumptions are based in the fact that he is better fighter.

Hendo is also the guy who after basically getting caught completely lying about needing a TRT exemption still tried several times to justify it. It is pretty common for people that approach situations like that to assume everybody is like them. It also helps them justify their actions because everyone doing it mitigates it and makes it not that big of a deal. He has plenty of personal motivation to exaggerate.

And you are talking about when he was interviewed about being considered one of the few fighters in Pride that were clean. A different situation than today. In Pride they were basically encouraged. In the UFC, it was more of a look the other way thing. But the writing has been on the wall for a while on what was going to start happening to PED users. I'd say at the peak 75% dirty at some point might be a fair guess. It probably has been closer to 50% the last few years. I'd expect with the random testing it is under 25% and dropping.

Its nice to come up with these nice %s. The real writing on the wall is they have to get better at passing the tests.

Those percentages are certainly more realistic guesses than 100% of all champs ever have been on steroids!

And good luck beating random WADA drug tests. People are even getting caught with designer drugs that are supposed to be undetectable and with things like EPO that used to be impossible almost to catch someone on because it would stay in the body like 4-6 hours but now they have more advanced testing that can find trace metabolites from it for up to 72 hours. Tell ya what, you give me 2 scenarios that don't sound insane where a fighter can regularly beat random testing and I will concede the argument.

And try to factor in they will basically go 3 years without a paycheck and still have to pay a camp and expenses for a fight they got caught in before the 2-year ban goes into effect. So fighters who already made it to the UFC will be risking being sidelined for 2 years and can't even start training again at any gym with UFC fighters until the ban is lifted having no income from fighting for at least 2.5 years. Maybe longer if they wait to go back to their old gym and they can't even be offered a fight until the ban is lifted. That ruins most fighters. Or at minimum hits them extremely hard.

I am getting tired of all of the PED stuff, guys are taking them, guys have always taken them, and guys will always take them. Some guys will get caught, most will not, so let's stop acting like quixotic little league parents about this issue.

Yeah it's amazing. People just write that shit without thinking for a second if it holds any truth or not. Someone says it, and someone who reads it takes it as a fact and goes repeating it.

You're guilty of it too.

Thats where we differ I think most are on something. Like I mentioned before endurance and recovery are also things that are enhanced not just strength.
I dunno about highest IQ but I really like his attitude he does not seem intimidated at all and he has great belief in himself to win. He has made himself very skilled in all aspects of the mma game too.

Indeed, it's a really moronic way to think. The one you quoted, and the people agreeing with him, seem to think that it's more likely that a cheater would pretend to be upset at other cheaters than that a clean fighter actually is upset at cheaters.

meh, you never know who is telling the truth and who isn't, but in general, and I am not talking about Weidman here, good liars are good at throwing up smoke screens as foil to take the focus off of themselves.

You are going to have to explain this to me. How is it unprofessional to criticize a colleague for breaking the rules of your profession? Is it unprofessional for a professor to chide a fellow for plagiarism? How about a bureaucrat at the IRS blowing the whistle on auditors taking bribes?

Lol@ you comparing a professional fighter to a professor. If you're going to argue at least bring reason comparisons instead of the shit one you just spit out.

It's unprofessional at the rate Weidman brings up PEDS. It's not "unprofessional" to criticize other fighters for PED use.

But obviously you are extremely clueless and decided to use the sentence into your own context to flame. When clearly Weidman is being quite unprofessional for the amount of shit he talks about other fighters being on PEDS. How is it not unprofessional when you constantly have a well-known Champ, constantly talking and bashing fighters who used PEDS.

That really shows the image of our sport does it?.

I have no problem with anyone criticizing people for PED use. But you should clearly know how loud Weidman is about PED use and the constant bashing he does.

It's not good for the image of the sport to constantly spew shit like that. You don't see it in the MLB, you don't see it in any other major sport organization. Why the fuck is it allowed to happen here.

Do you really think the UFC wants to be constantly reminded about Silva's bust? Get real.

When is Weidman "constantly" talking about PEDs ? He had a fight with Silva,who's hearing was not long ago,he got asked about it. He talks about it when asked.
And he doesn't just randomly go bashing fighter and saying they use it,he said that only about Vitor who had well knows history of doing it and Chris was fighting him. That doesn't give him the right to be suspicions? Why not criticizing people for PED use? You know whats unprofessional? - PED USE.

Maybe the fighters should be more professional and shouldn't answer every question directed at them. MMA reporters are swine, we all know. But Fighters continue to answer these dumb questions.

Weidman is doing shit about the situation for PED use. Weidman is quite popular so some people can easily misinterpret his words.

Don't get me wrong, what Weidman says isn't wrong. But at the rate he talks about it and does nothing to help the situation isn't the most professional route to take.

Then don't read when reporters ask him about PED's, just skip those questions. You don't like a topic, don't look for it.

If you don't like his answers then you should probably think about why that is.
 
indeed anderson seemed to have changed stories and shit. and not only that, the viagra excuse is dumb as fuck

but yeah im not really into these vocals anti-PED fighters. theres always seem to be a pattern with them
but in this case weidman didnt say anything trying to talk shit about PED users and stuff like that. he didnt pull a rockhold

but im still a fan of weidman
 
Lol at all the bitching. He was interviewed by Helwani who specifically asked him "He said it was the first time that he had ever been tested outside of fight night. This situation was the first time ever. So, going into your fight, what did that make you think about. So going into my fight is it possible he was doing something as well? Did you think about that?"

He isn't going around blasting Silva for the PEDs thing out of the blue.
 
So basically weidman thinks it's impossible for himself to lose to a clean fighter. A fighter would have to be on steroids to beat him.

And he wonders why people think he is an arrogant *****
 
It is very unfortunate that the MMA fanbase is so similar to that of professional wrestling- in large part a bunch of idiotic, white trash piles of shit. However, none of them make me ill like the steroid apologists, and their ass-backward logic and foolhardy positions.

Look at all of the morons in this thread that are actually critical of Weidman for saying this sort of thing.

Like it's a problem to criticize people who not only cheat, but put the safety of other fighters at risk. This isn't fucking tennis or baseball; hitting another person isn't like hitting a ball.

Go kill yourself now to make sure you don't reproduce morons.
