Anderson Silva In this week’s Trading Shots, retired UFC and WEC fighter Danny Downes joins MMAjunkie columnist Ben Fowlkes in an attempt to make sense of former UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva ’s legacy after his failed drug test and less-than-successful attempt at a defense. * * * * Downes: Ben, Anderson Silva had … let’s call it “interesting” testimony in front of the Nevada State Athletic Commission this week. He stood in front of the commission after testing positive for multiple banned substances and received a fine for $380,000 and a one-year suspension (retroactive to Jan. 31, 2014). Silva tested positive for the PEDs androstane and drostanolone, yet he attributed those positive tests to off-market sexual performance-enhancers.
