Pat Curran Former Bellator featherweight champion Pat Curran hadn’t heard the news that ex-middleweight champ Alexander Shlemenko had been suspended three years by the California State Athletic Commission for steroids. When he did, his reaction was mixed. On one hand, Curran (20-7 MMA, 10-4 BMMA) who on Friday meets Emmanuel Sanchez (10-1 MMA, 2-0 BMMA) at Bellator 139, is against performance-enhancers and thinks they should be eliminated from the sport. “A lot of people out there choose to do steroids to get that extra edge in the fight,” he told MMAjunkie. “I don’t think it’s fair – it’s definitely not fair to the guys that aren’t using steroids, and it’s only fair to the sport and everyone else in it to keep it on a level playing field.” On the other hand, he seemed sympathetic to Shlemenko, who denied using any PEDs.
