How is Sonnen still being taken seriously? He only had success on steroids and doesn't seem the same on TRT, which he shouldn't be allowed to take to begin
There should be a stipulation in the contract, if you ever pop for roids you can't ever fight for the championship.

How is Sonnen not taken seriously.... he's the only guy to legitimately give Anderson a REAL fight. Lets not forget how easily he took him down for five rounds in their first fight or the fact that he dominated round 1 in their second fight. Will he ever beat Silva? hell NO. Is he better than everyone else not named Silva or potentially Belfort? YUP
And to be clear he has NEVER popped hot for steroids.... he was suspended because he withheld information about his use of TRT and didn't apply for an exemption to use TRT.
