UFC Statement

So, can we just give GSP the GOAT moniker now? I mean, come on now. 

Oh, and Diaz failed a post-fight test for weed, which is irrelevant.

Oh, and this is the third Black House fighter to test positive in the last six months. 

Yep ... first-time user right there, surrounded by cheating teammates.

i can't wait to see the UFC throw Diaz under the bus for smoking a bit of reefer as they stand by the side of a steroid user. Never change, UFC.

@Live2wrestle

Yea it pretty easy to pass a test when you know the day your taking it, as seen by the fact we saw what happens when  he doesn't.



@TheMMamessiah

Skelliher has literrally forgotten more mma knowledge then you will ever know.

Lets see his resume: Life long martial artist who trained with ufc fighters and has 20 kicking boxing fights, a proffession mma writer, works for mma website and literally watches mma all day. 



Then there your resume: Some random guy on MMA site that takes himself and his fight pick percentage way to seriously


So it not really much of a match, he frankly out classes your knowledge of mma to a laughable level. So how about you just shut up and stay in the corner of the room while the grown ups are talking? .

I don't recall Anderson Silva having another fight in the last 6 months, so yeah, I do think this is the only fight he was juicing for.

Silva fails a test 2+ weeks before a fight for steroids and he's still allowed to fight? Seriously, what in the **** is going on?

I know what they will say (If they haven't already) about it regardless if it is true. But they will say he took them to rehab the muscles of his broken leg. It is dissapointing to hear but the way fighters talk it would seem most are on them in fact probably most pro athletes are on them.  It's an unfortunate stain on his legacy that he will have to live with from now on.

Also worth noting, there was no random drug testing for Silva's last 2 fights, which were both in Nevada against Chris Weidman.

Man, sad day for MMA. Irrespective of your opinion on Silva's legacy, you have to admit this is an indelible mark on it. What's worse? ESPN never covers MMA in a meaningful way. Current top story with image & video: "Silva, Diaz Failed Tests"

Life hurts a lot less if you just assume that all your heroes are using.

There will never, ever be a time or sport where more money is spent on drug testing than on researching new PEDs and work arounds.

@zarog 

I've been assuming everyone is on it for the past two years and it is great to do so - this didn't hurt at all. And I almost cried when Barao lost his title.

I don't agree with the notion that everyone is on something and I will never lose confidences in my boy Carlos Condit. That ***********er is as clean and badass as they come, but I do now doubt more fighters then I  previously did, that's for sure.

Results of the Jan. 9th tests were not available until today according to Brett Okamoto. So....that's why he would be able to compete. 

@Franklin If Carlos ever got popped I would just stop watching MMA. That would be the saddest moment in the history of the sport (at least for me).

@skelli couldn't agree more man. If this was GSP people would be completely discrediting every accomplishment he ever has and accusing him of being a lifetime cheater among other choice words I'm sure. Vitor gets caught and he's destroyed on these same message boards. Chael same thing. But Anderson gets a pass? I've always thought Georges beat the more skilled fighters and he was the GOAT anyway with JBJ now a close 2nd so this doesn't change too much for me as far as the GOAT conversation goes but it sure does put a huge dent in Anderson's legacy.

Regardless if Anderson was 39 and coming back from a horrific injury, he's gone on the record too many times against steroid users to get a pass. He tried to discredit Chael Sonnen as a legitimate contender because of his past failed test. He's just a hypocrite and a cheat.
