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

Lifetime ban would surely solve the problem. No athlete is going to wanna work 9-5.

 

I don't know about lifetime, but I say at least 2 years. That's a big chunk of a fighters career. It pissed me off when guys get a 6 month suspension, when they basically only fight twice a year anyway so it's really nothing

 

2 years aint that much in fighting. 3-4 fights. fighters would still do it.

 

So you think the NFL, MLB, etc with their suspensions is not going far enough?

 

Solid column on Grantland.

Good article. Makes sense. The fight should not go forward. For the sake of the integrity of a sport trying to gain acceptance and for the safety of the fighters.

 

eh, a bunch of old new really.

 

What's old news about it? Is Dos Santos/Overeem officially off?

 

No, but it's nothing that hasn't been reported already.

 

It's not reporting. Not a news piece. It's an opinion piece.

 

Wasn't much of an opinion, just saying what everyone else already said.

 

He's stating it on a site that mainstream sports fans read. Not just cage fighting fans.

Get with it.

 

Never heard of that site.

 

Good for you. It's Bill Simmons site. Gets, like, a lot of traffic.
