He's currently One's double champ, he's 12-0 with all finishes and the undisputed One Champ is actually ducking him.....so that brings me to this, when will he make the jump and is his contract expiring with ONE
 
He's a placeholder. Keeping Buchecha's belt warm for him.

Once that business is settled, he can do whatever he wants.
 
Am I missing something with all those USADA jabs?

Sure, looks pretty jacked, but nothing extraordinary, compared to guys like Pavlovich, Almeida, never mind Ngannou, lol.
 
I am not aware of his history with PEDs as others point out, but I reckon the UFC would need to open their wallets to attract him as well.

RUSADA banned him in 2013 from freestyle wrestling competition for two-years , effectively wiping out what was left of his eligibility given his age, for refusing a drug test.

I don't believe he ever tested positive for anything but those who don't think he could pass USADA aren't totally without merit.

Failing a Russian test sounds like it would be near impossible.
Russia getting banned from sports for steroids in 2019 is crazy.... Getting banned for steroids in Russia in 2013 sounds silly at that point. Would've been 6 years until they took testing seriously.
 
Never. He's 34, probably wouldn't get out his ONE contract until he's 37 or something. He'll be a lifer there in my opinion or will fight in Russia.

Was it failing? Isn’t it’s something like failing to submit a test? If I am not mistaken he claimed something like they informed him about time and place when they gonna test him and in reality time was wrong.

Sounds like a "tainted supplement" excuse
Dude lost 2 years of his wrestling career for a schedule issue?

Bro Anatoly Malykhin is just 1 of a list of great fighters you can wait forever to see in the UFC. Patricio Freire, AJ McKee, Patchy Mix, Roberto Soldic, Salahdine Parnasse, Christian Lee, Vadim Nemkov, Johnny Eblen, Magomedrasul Gasanov, Eduard Vartanyan, Fabricio Andrade. Welcome to thr UFC, they don't value talent that much because stupid fans go "hey that 9-3 guy vs 12-5 guy was exciting! How can you complain when they brawled bro?"

He had some problems when he was young and poor, now he could get his shit together and pass the test like most natty UFC fighters do.

In Russian here he says that at some moment rules where changed and main coach of national team didn't understood it https://news.sportbox.ru/Vidy_sport...tnosilsa_k_doping_testam_so_vsej_serjeznostju and that him and team members were told that they don't need to go anywhere (like, free to leave) they left and then papers arrived that he was disqualified for 2 years while he says that it should be 1 year.
And here quote from video from his Youtube channel https://www.sport-express.ru/martia...amerz-i-ne-pogib-podrobnosti-istorii-2007100/
says that he was disqalified for failing to arrive to submit a sample because he wasn't aware that he needed to do it. Also says that because of that he started to consume recreational drugs.
