This really sucks... fans don't want to believe the guy is juicing. But then again there are mma fighters who suggest upwards of 50%+ of mma fighters use steroids.

I dont know for sure but realistically the increased recovery time is probably more important than the bulk for most MMA fighters. So many new forms of PEDs are made every year and the ease of access makes it hard for guys to not get them if they want them.

So far, that's still on for the 21st.

I like that Dana never comes out and says he is upset at the steroid use. He only says he is upset that the guys are getting caught.

Sucks to be right sometimes eh?

Let us hope Barnett keeps passing from here on out. There are not enough good HWs, to be able to afford to have any suspended and/or dropped.

I had no doubt he was using, I'm just pissed he couldn't mask it properly.

As much as I like Big Country, he's 1-3 in his last 4 fights, at this point Nelson doesn't even deserve a #1 contenders match. Dana should bring Cormier over from SF to replace Roiderreem.

I just want to know did Woosta finally decide to honor his bet that he wouldn't post in an MMA thread cause he was one of the biggest Overroid defenders out there.

Ubereem needs to hold a press conference stating that he ate tainted horse meat and start lobbying for stronger regulations on the horse meat industry

And most of you douchebags didn't believe me and a few others... Sucks to be wrong, doesn't it?

Most people knew he was on something that wasn't legal, his core fans still don't believe this story. Sherdog's full of people saying

1. Test was incorrect, he'll get retested and have vindication
2. He's naturally a specimen, so his 14:1 test level when 1:1's normal and 6:1 will get a fighter banned means nothing. Even at 14:1 he's 100% natural.

I bet the constant F bomb dropping Dana set a personal F bomb record after this info came out lol. Now we're going to see some shit like JDS vs Mir. I can't even think of a #1 contender in the UFC. Mir's meh but he's doing better than anyone else in the HW division right now.

This news sucks for Lesnar, he battled back from a life threatening disorder without any PED's only to have his last fight be against a roided fool.
