Re: New Positive Steroid Tests (CYBORG)

I don't see how he's coming off as a whiny bitch at all. It's pretty obvious that Dana's story about Brock being a last-minute addition to UFC 200 is bullshit and he could have participated in the full USADA program but they knew he would have popped. That's what Hunt's case relies on.

When you claim someone's on steroids and agree to fight them anyway you lose the right to bitch they're on steroids. If he had won he'd be crowing about how steroids don't matter.

You don't lose any right when your employer lies to you and says that the reason this individual you're fighting hasn't been tested simply because of time constrains that didn't exist.

Re: New Positive Steroid Tests (CYBORG)

I side with Hunt through most of this. But when fighters pull the "my family will starve" routine. Give me a break. I'm starting to lose sympathy. There are families out there actually starving. If my fighting career was on hold I'd put on the red and khaki and work at Target before my family would starve. As would anyone else that was ACTUALLY in that boat.

But Hunt has been fighting guys on the juice for years. This just seems like sour grapes at this point.

Or he's fed up with guys getting a pass time after time.

Coming off a fight that was probably his biggest pay day of his career?

He claimed the whole fucking lead up to the fight Brock was on steroids, so either he was slandering Brock (which was proven to be true but that's not the point here), or he knew Brock was on steroids and didn't care.

Re: New Positive Steroid Tests (CYBORG)

Is there a moratorium on when guys can do something like this? I understand the optics but let's not act like Hunt doesn't have a point or a case here.

Re: New Positive Steroid Tests (CYBORG)

In retrospect he's right. But either he was intentionally spreading malicious lies about Brock or he knew Brock was on steroids and didn't care until he lost.

Re: New Positive Steroid Tests (CYBORG)

Boxers who have sued opponents who tested positive for roids have won.

He has a great case. The new owners will probably settle with him.

Dana did an interview and made it sound like Cyborg is going to be cleared.

Cyborg has been cleared.

In other news Germaine de Randamie is definitely getting hand surgery now.

Assuming he's out of the fight I'd be fine with either Black Beast or Ngannou fighting Werdum.

Re: New Positive Steroid Tests (Ben Rothwell)

With the recent news received from USADA I would like to take this time to let everyone know, I have been under the care of a physician and trying to overcome a medical illness. I would appreciate the chance to show that I have not cheated nor did I intended to cheat. Please hold your opinions of me until all the facts are out. I appreciate everyone's support as I go through the process with usada.
Thank you,
Ben Rothwell

Niko Price seems to have popped for something, his TKO win over Alex Morono has been changed to a No Contest.

It was weed. Him, Abel Trujillo, and Curtis Blaydes.

Mir's B sample tested positive. Career over.

2 year retroactive suspension, eligible to return in 2018. He'll be 38 by then but given how shit HW is he could put together enough wins to get close to a title shot.

Heavyweight is pretty sorry. Even after a layoff like that he could still beat guys outside of the top 7 or so with the right match ups.

Re: New Positive Steroid Tests (Ben Rothwell)

I think despite what he's said recently he's in good with the UFC brass enough that they'd release him so he can go earn some bank overseas, he's publicly stated that he wants to fight in Japan. ACB or RIZIN would sign him in a heartbeat.

Cortney Casey was flagged by the Texas State A.C for elevated testosterone levels. Win over Jessica Aguilar changed to a NC.

His manager strongly denied it, but it wouldn't surprise me. This guy was arguably the most durable heavyweight ever, I don't think any MMA fighter and maybe only a few boxers would have been able to survive the punishment he took in his stoppage loss to Cain. Maybe his superhuman performances were superhuman for a reason.

Re: New Positive Steroid Tests (Ben Rothwell)

That dude's body at its most yoked screams steroids. I'm not surprised he'd go back to steroids after losing these fights the way he had, and there is no reason whatsoever to disbelieve it.
