Joe Rogan urges UFC to cut ties with USADA and unban testosterone

BAD MMA News — Sat, 30 Sep 2023 12:34:04 +0000

Joe Rogan has been a major staple in the success of mixed martial arts over the years. He has helped the UFC grow from the ground up but the commentator isn’t a fan of everything the promotion does. One major disagreement Rogan has with the UFC is the implementation of USADA. Since 2015, the United States Anti-Doping Agency has been partnered with the fight company. It is tasked with protecting athletes by removing banned substances from the octagon through its extensive research into sports science, though it has caused friction among the combat sports fanbase due to their divided opinions on the organization. Surprisingly, the popular MMA figure wants the anti-doping agency away from the sport.

Twitter Mailbag: Rampage, Rua-Sonnen, Bonnar in HOF, six-packs and PEDs

BAD MMA News — Thu, 06 Jun 2013 21:30:00 +0000

Between Quinton “Rampage” Jackson’s big Bellator news and the UFC 161 switcheroo, this week’s Twitter Mailbag is practically bursting at the purely figurative seams. But don’t worry. There’s room for all the hot topics here, from Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira ‘s chances to pull off another Brazilian miracle to B.J. Penn ‘s post-retirement prospects, and much more. You can ask your own question on Twitter at @BenFowlkesMMA , but first you’re going to want to sit down and dig right in to this week’s #TMB. * * * * My brain says that Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira won’t beat Fabricio Werdum at UFC on FUEL TV 10 this Saturday, but my gut says that you can never count out “Big Nog,” especially in Brazil.

UFC heavyweight contender Roy Nelson has never been the poster boy for a fitness-minded physique, and he believes there is a reason he doesn’t look like most UFC fighters. Nelson doesn’t sport six-pack abs. He often rubs his oversized midsection when celebrating victory, embracing the fact that his body doesn’t fit the typical fighter’s form. “People that tend to be in our sport tend to abuse PEDs or performance enhancing drugs. So that’s the reason why I probably don’t look like the typical UFC fighter,” said the outspoken Nelson during a UFC 161 media conference call . Nelson made his way to the UFC by winning the tenth season of The Ultimate Fighter
