Is in, during their UFC tenure at any point. Whether they have always have been, were at the beginning, or are now does not matter - just that you THINK they probably used PEDs at some point while they were part of the UFC roster.

A reminder, getting pop'd for steroids does not mean that those were the only times a fighter has been using PEDs. Especially at such a high level like this, there are various masking agents and/or cycling techniques and substances that can hide any PEDs that may be in a persons body. Such said techniques are expensive and probably require the help of others (teammates or other fighters) so it is a vastly unspoken reality that many fail to recognize. But for those skeptical, critical thinking minds, the answer seems obvious.

Two UFC Fighters that have previously been caught using PEDs. To avoid playing favourites and risk a possible lawsuit and/or get beatup by big muscly men I have very carefully taken extreme measures to conceal and protect their identities. The point here is look at their bodies - does that seem like somebody who has a naturally body? Yes this is a joke.

However there is still no way to estimate the total amount of PED use in modern UFC today. One clue is to look at their bodies. Are they almost inhumanly toned and muscular beyond the regular realms of athletes? Then they are probably on steroids. Made vast improvements over a short period of time, comparing old with new pictures? Probably on steroids. I will not single any guys out, but it doesn't take much thought to know who fits in those categories.

Not all PED users have those traits though. They can look just like any other non-PED enhanced person, everybody is different and unique afterall.

But whether your skeptical or speculative , you do know that a certain percent of UFC fighters have used PEDs during their career in the promotion. What number is that, if you were to provide an estimate? Give your reasons if you feel like getting into this touchy discussion.
 
75 - 100 %

As the great Diaz brothers once said.
 
Only a guess. I think the sport of MMA is too hard on the body for fighters to not take PEDS.

I don't care if athletes take steroids.
 
Stipe - BJ - Diaz bros - DC - Cruz - Ferg - Demetrious

Those guys stand out to me as most likely clean. There might be a few more I can't recall at the moment, but I am suspicious of most pro athletes.

I'm not radically anti ped use and I think it's foolish to think it's not widely used at the pro levels in all sports.
 
Who are those ufc fighters in the OP i have a hard time guessing
 
I think it is pretty naive to think any fighter would get past amateur level without using some illegal peds.

To get Into one of the top 10 biggest promotions, you have to be a hell of a fighter. How Are you going to get past the guy training next to you that use peds, And is faster, stronger, more explosive, can take more damage, has better cardio, And can train on his technique And spar twice as much as you? It is just not possible.

And guys at nearly 40 being competitive in the major org without peds? No way.

It's a grueling sport with a lot of injuries. Perhaps that percentage has decreased amongst the low earners since USADA.
 
Anybody who doesn't pick 75%-100% is naive or an idiot.


Not saying everybody has done it, but Im sure atleast 75% have done something, at least once in their life.




You people need to see this movie.
 
All but Bisking, Frankie, DJ Mouse and *maybe Shogun
 
Glad to see most see the truth these days, USADA has really changed the public opinion or strengthened old beliefs.

It's clear the best in the world have had help, literally the best in Bones-Silva, though one thing that irks me as lots of dudes are ready to write off their entire careers when its most likely their competition were "cheats" too.
 
Even Diaz brothers used them at least once to heal injuries. Pro athletes need anabolic steroid to heal up, and keep going with the training.

"It's normal".

Stop being so touchy about these whole peds. Also i think PEDs should be regulated in another way not to penalty fighters but to keep them healthy as long as its possible. So they will monitor levels of some hormones if they look quite normal and look for painkillers in system. Let them use peds, test if they had too high level of something a moment before they step into the octagon. If they had, they should be punished. If Jones was coked up in a fight he should get a penalty but if he was sandblasting prostitutes whole week but he was not taking drugs a 10 minutes before a fight... Whats the difference...
 
I think there used to be a lot more on peds than there are now. Everyone switched to dick pills and kangaroos.
 
Oh if only everybody could just stick to horse meat we'd have no USADA related messes.
