I'm all for random drug test, yeah it shuffles deck on fight cards but helps clean up the sport & protects fighters in already violent sport

Wahhh, wahhh! All the pro athletes keep getting caught juicing, big whoop! Priests get caught raping, that's a bigger problem.

It's pathetic to see ALL these guys failing these "random" drug tests. The majority of guys are using. With random tests you would see it.

One can't just come off of #TRT & be ready to compete. Isn't as easy of a process as people think. Medically ambitious expectation.

My toe is still broken. I haven't stepped foot inside AKA since my fight. I'm not crazy I can't fight in 3 weeks as much as I would like to.

Will Vitor even pass his test that is the question?

Let's just make two leagues. The juice heads who need PEDs and then the real athletes who just work hard without any PEDs. That's fair

Chael, Vitor and Wanderlei clearly all using, put them in a three way last man standing match. Seems fair to me.
