Dana White still certain UFC unable to conduct its own random PED testing

I'm not saying the UFC should be responsible for drug testing, but I think they can be and I wish they would be.

Dana's excuse has a flawed premise--that the UFC has to make all the contacts. No. The 375 fighters can have an obligation to report in to see if they need to be tested. Or the 375 fighters can have an obligation to check an email account. Or something like that. If they don't fulfill their obligation to get tested when they are supposed to, they don't fight.

 

I don't give a shit if the UFC personally tests these guys, just like I've said about boxing. It's the athletic commissions that are in charge of this and it's the AC's that need to change their testing policies.

How many boxing promoters are testing guys that fight for them? Not a damn one.

 

When Overeem kicked Brock Lesnar in the stomach which led to Lesnar's eventual KO, and now that we know Overeem is a chronic juicer, what would the repercussions be for the UFC and for the sport of MMA if Brock Lesnar had died as a result of the fight with Overeem (Lesnar has diverticulitis and almost died once before).
By juicing, you have a physical advantage over an opponent who is not juicing. You have a higher probability to seriously harm an opponent via ILLEGAL methods like steroids which enhances your physical power.
Granted for all we know, Lesnar may too have been on steroids or maybe he wasn't.

That's why it's important that Dana get involved and make sure his fighters are clean. Otherwise sh*t's gonna go down and wreck the sport, especially if a dude gets seriously hurt because of an opponent who is using illegal substances to gain an advantage.

 

Are PED's ruining boxing Hanzy? Should Bob Arum randomly test his fighters? What if someone dies?

 

So instead of addressing the problem, you use Boxing as a way to take heat off the UFC?
It's like Ted Bundy saying "Well...Gacy kills too!" ::
It doesn't make sh*t right.:dunno:
Boxing is already a flawed sport but it has a grand history of 100+ years. The UFC is still extremely young to the masses.

 

Who the f*ck said Dana White should do it all himself? Hire a team to do it. Like the sport of tennis where the ATP sends drug-testers to tennis players' houses, uninvited, and makes them piss in a bottle right there in front of them.

 

A promoter should not be testing anyone. A promoter's job is to make money, not make the sport better.

The UFC is a lot more than a promoter, however. There are reasons that the UFC should test their fighters, but they aren't because the UFC is a fight promoter, at least not in the same sense.

 

Dana's not just a promoter. He lives and breathes the UFC. When sh*t happens, it comes down on him. He has a stake in the company. He's basically the face of the UFC.

 

Well, yeah.

 

The sh*t with Overeem should never have happened. At the end of it, Overeem, Dana and the whole UFC look stupid. And fans were looking forward to that Overeem/JDS fight.
As for who pays for UFC's own in-house drug testing, they have more than enough money to get it done. They're f*cking BILLIONAIRES!!!! :laughing:

 

I really hope they let Overeem fight, destroying the credibility of cage fighting forever. ray:

 

The reason they aren't interested in stricter testing is because most of their athletes are filthy cheaters. That's really the bottom line.

 

Yeah, how you gonna be having shows and ppvs when no fighters can be cleared because of steroid use? And then you have guys like Z and them saying "Well....maybe they were using supplements to heal from injuries?" :atu:

 

It must be a coincidence none of their bodies produce testosterone anymore! It must be!

 

I got more testosterone in my cock than half the UFC roster combined.

 

I don't defend cheaters, get your trolling right stupid.

 

Let's just face the facts here, it's a problem in ALL sports. Let's not single out MMA as if other athletes are angels.

 

Yeah, but when you're in the main event for a world title fight on a big ppv and not able to compete because you're sticking needles in your ass, then there's a motherf*cking problem. Feel me Z? Or do I have to keep spelling it out? It's a bigger problem in the UFC right now. We don't need to discuss other sports. What matters is that in the UFC, people are paying to see fighters fight on PPV. Other sports you can watch on free tv mostly.

 

Please read some posts in here before talking to me about this shit. I'm more pissed about it than anyone in here. You're starting to piss me off Hanzy.

 

No doubt. Fortunately, the major sports leagues have implemented random drug testing. I wonder how Bud Selig and Roger Goodell are able to be so many places at once?!

 

You're too easily pissed off. Blast a doob or something.

 

C'mon man. You gonna try to tell me that you are seeing just as many people getting busted for PEDS these days in MLB, NBA or the NFL as in MMA? No way.

 

I'd rather not. NSAC is useless.
