Looks like Bisping may be the only clean fighter after all.

I'd argue the Diaz brothers are "clean" in the sense they don't do PEDs. Weed though, lol.

It wouldn't surprise me. GSP left because of doping. Plenty of big athletes walked away from being competitive because of the sad state of doping.

Holy crap...UFC Fight Night: McDonald vs Lineker. The Ferguson vs Vannata fight is a fight of the year candidate!

Vannata needed to be tested for crack, meth, speed, something, the dude walked right through everything, it seemed fishy.

Hunt wants half of Brocks money or he said he wants out of the UFC.

There are definitely clean fighters but they seem to be few and far between these days.

The celebration after was pretty savage as well.

I didn't see the fight, but I saw that. Man, he got destroyed. >_>

I watched it, but didn't know why he reacted the way he did. Then I saw the injury today and it made sense.

 

[Miramonti]

It would take ballz to get in there after a skull fracture like that. We'll see what he decides to do following post-surgery healing.

Yeah, but that was a real freak injury.

Jon Jones positive tests:

Nevada Deputy Attorney General Caroline Bateman, in asking for an extension of Jones’ temporary suspension until such time as he could be brought in for a full disciplinary hearing, named Hydroxy Clomiphene (an anti-estrogenic agent) and Letrozole metabolite (an aromatase inhibitor) as the two substances Jones tested positive for in his June 16 out-of-competition drug screen.

So Chael Sonnen was right.

 

[smackababy]

Maybe Jones had gynecomastia and needed those!

Makes one wonder what the game is that they had the confidence he could take that stuff and still fly under the radar...and how many times he's done that previously without getting caught.

It virtually assures [in the court of my opinion] Jones' career has been thoroughly tainted by peds, because if he thought he could skate past USADA without getting flagged, there's no way he would have given two sh!ts before they began testing. It's highly unlikely [imo again] that he would have been clean previously, yet start taking peds for the first time after USADA started their testing.

Or, he took peds accidentally, thinking they were harmless jolly ranchers. :whiste:

 

[randay]

almost kind of wish they didnt step up the testing program. i mean people could speculate before, now its a fact. everyones on something. it like when you find out wrestling is fake. or santa claus.

Oh, for fucks sake, it was always a fact.

Rumours of it possibly being an inhaler.

I can understand the bidding war for the UFC as we all believe the promotion is highly profitable based on how little even the elite fighters get compared to top boxers.

What is surprising is that Dana White's new contract is said to include 9% of net profits for X years, which sounds staggeringly generous. Roger Goodell should be jealous right about now. (Not to mention White had some equity in Zuffa as well.) Smart of Zuffa to sell now with many asset values (including sports franchises) at record highs.

depending on the contract, a net profit deal could theoretically never pay.
