So I'm thinking that this means dude was on the shyt his entire career. Post usada got popped 2 out of his 3 fights?
For him to be foolish enough to take that chance knowing he was going to be caught I have to agree. I hate how this now tarnishes one of the best storylines in the sport. Interest is starting to wane this couldn't have happened at a worse time


Ps what a sociopath though knowing the whole time he was juiced yet he was acting like a reformed statesman

They're all on it, or at least WERE, as some were smart/sensible enough to stop after USADA infested the organization (see Chris Weidman).

USADA ruined the UFC. Introducing real drug testing to an individual sport modeled after the fukking WWE is the most retarded shyt ever. I don't care that Jones uses roids (they all do, including Cormier), I just want to see him fight. fukk :aicmon:.
Other than a dierectic I don't think Cormier does gear. Too flabby besides he is pushing 40 never been popped and always been consistent. He just doesn't have the mileage which has helped

So I'm hearing he got popped for the same thing Mir got popped for. But he still has a B sample to test and be can appeal... Dana also hasn't stripped him of the belt.

Looks don't mean anything, just look at Josh Barnett and Tim Sylvia. The fact that he's competitive with a juiced up Jon Jones at age 38 is suspicious plus he competed in the Olympics (PED smorgasbord). Couture (competed for 15 years) never popped and he's obviously not clean. I literally think only a handful of "name" fighters like Gegard Mousasi, the Diaz's and Demian Maia aren't on any shyt. Bisping whines about PEDs, but he looks way bigger and better than before at age 38...

That's weird, could have sworn mmafighting reported he'd been stripped and they were giving it back to Cormier

Seriously though what good has come out of USADA? We all know deep down it's cheater versus cheater 9/10 times, it's not like the mythical "clean" fighters are suddenly winning belts. USADA would end the NBA and NFL over night if it became a thing in legit sports leagues.

Fans and media kept complaining that there was a PED problem in MMA to the point of implicating zuffa has being complicit (in being aloof about it). They were obviously thinking about the sale or maybe it was the numerous lawsuits either way the criticism plus either or both of these factors made them get into bed with USADA. And since then not only have we lost the TRT guys but a slew of fighters have bolted to bellator (in part because of sponsors but also) because drug testing isn't as stringent.

So many revered dudes like Anderson and lyoto getting humiliated. Has it made the sport better? Are fights more fun? Has it led to less injuries? From a fans pov there is absolutely no value to it. My sport is clean whooopty doooooo
