Oh ****. Imagine that may be him finished with the UFC. Caused no end of problems for them over the last 18 months.

Nah, they'll keep going back to him.

Jon Jones pulled from the 200 fight card. Drug violation apparently so there's the main event gone

UFC bid accepted. $4.2b.

Wonder what'll happen, Rogan has said in the past that if it's sold he will leave, I wonder if Dana will be offered a role still.

Anyone watch Fedor vs Maldonado?

China again.

UFC-LFC ?

UFC sale imminent.

Opening sealed bids today. All meant to be ~4 billion.

Mental price for something that generates profits of £200m per year.

Crazy ****. Especially as Kimbo Slice suffered because of such things and recently passed.

They don't really give a **** about the fighters do they.

“I don’t think that’s fair. I think it’s load of bulls***, I think it’s rubbish,” Hunt said. “I don’t think anyone should be exempt from testing. If they’re trying to clean the sport up — mixed martial arts — this is a bad way to do it. I don’t care who you are. It’s ridiculous.

“I don’t think it’s a great move. I think he’s juiced to the gills — and I still think I’m going to knock him out. So I don’t think that’s correct. I don’t think he should be allowed to get a four-month exemption otherwise everyone else should. Otherwise I should start juicing.

“How are you going to clean the sport up doing that s***? It won’t happen. I don’t think it’s fair.”

“I’ve already voiced my opinion to (UFC boss) Dana (White) about it but apparently he (Lesnar) has been getting tested but he’s probably been off a couple of cycles anyway.”

“I think everyone should be tested equally and fairly. Make it an even playing field otherwise you might as well get everyone juiced up and have the juicing UFC competition and the non-juicing (competition).”

What do the WWE test for? Is it along the lines of WADA testing?

Does WWE have a drug testing program?


Yes. WWE’s Substance Abuse and Drug Testing policy was designed by Aegis Sciences Corporation and is run 100% independently of WWE.

WWE has a three strike system. The first strike is a 30 day suspension without pay. The second strike is a 60 day suspension without pay. The third strike is termination of WWE Talent’s contract. The policy states that a WWE Talent who tests positive and receives a strike is subject to follow up testing.
