Here we go with the guilty until proven innocent bullshit again.
Nobody other than a handful of people know what happened. Could have been something as simple as pot, since USADA see that as a bad drug which warrants a suspension from sport/s.
I'll wait for a second test, if Brock chooses to take that route, or more information from the first test before passing any judgement.
Sucks for Mark Hunt.
How did Jon Jones get popped 3 or 4 days before the fight, but we're just now hearing about Brock? Isn't the whole point of the testing to make sure clean fighters aren't facing genetically modified freaks and potentially getting hurt?
If they would've dropped Brock from that fight also, that card would've been a major turd. Dana's head would've exploded.

Makes sense then and bloody lucky for Dana.Jones failed drug test was from June 16th, Brocks was on June 28th.
Jumping back and forth from UFC and WWE if you're not clean is just asking for trouble.Lol this isn't even the least bit surprising. Knew something was up when the ufc waived the 4 month testing period before reinstating Brock.
Love how USADA is seen as the enemy here. Fans need to get off their high horse and admit they don't give a shit about these guys juicing.
Didn't they specifically give him like a 4 month window for a pass on doping? I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure everyone in the ufc was aware of this long before the fight was announced.
I am 100% ok with PEDs
So is Taker 23-1*
I am 100% ok with PEDs
They're joking.Huh?
Would they have scripted that "wrestling" stage production differently had they known?

Who gets the money in the case of forfeit(i know it isn't happening but I'm curious)? UFC? Vegas? The opponent?Someone in that Mark Hunt twitter feed mentioned guys have to forfeit a % of their purse for missing weight but not pissing hot? Seems dumb.

Would like to see The Rock get tested just for shits and giggles.-

The Rock would test positive for everything.
MY CLIENT
me too, but if UFC was vying for legitimacy, i imagine they've had to care
UFC would never ever evolve as a brand if PED's were accepted out in the open. It can't happen, everyone would go full blown Bob Sapp and the sport would die.
According to Chael, Brock's contract for UFC 200 fight was $12 million minimum, $15 million maximum (depending on PPV sales). NSAC licking their chops.Up to 40% since the fight was in Nevada
Those sports were big pre steroids explosions therfore already are seen as "legitimate" rightly or wrongly. UFC was not and it's push to be recognised as an actual sport and not a carny act necessitated good testing regimes for the reputation of the sport.The NFL, MLB, etc are absolutely loaded in PED usage. The difference is those leagues have way less testing than USADA era UFC because they know it would hurt the sports greatly doing it.
UFC should have simply played ball the way they used to and one random dude would get popped per year.
I mean NFL is giant and the PED usage is beyond rampant

You may be right about the owners. But getting rid of the testing regime is a terrible long term strategy if you want to be seen as anything other than roided up meat heads beating the shit out of eachother. Like a fancier world star.I'm not convinced it's having any sort of positive effect. If anything I think it's hurting the brand. We are getting huge headlines on a consistent basis of star dudes popping and big fights falling it out.
I will not be surprised whatsoever if the new ownership start to slowly cut back on testing
It is more because they have strong Player Unions while UFC really can do whatever they want.
I mean the NFL has spent the past two years trying to suspend one of their biggest stars for 4 games while the MLB overstepped their bounds to get all the Biogenesis guys suspended including one of their biggest stars in Alex Rodriguez. I am pretty sure if they had the power UFC have they would have the best testing possible.

Wut? That seems ridiculously high. Last I heard, he was getting like $3M.
That 2.5 million is just his disclosed purse. There are other agreements in place for big name fighters to get paid more. I know Conor made $10 million for either the Diaz or Aldo fight. But his disclosed purse wouldn't tell you that.Wut? That seems ridiculously high. Last I heard, he was getting like $3M.
