UFC and PEDs: Where do we go from here?


Credit Photo: Esther Lin/MMA Fighting

Usually when I ask that question, it’s in the wake of a pay-per-view and I’m wondering aloud at what’s next for the fighters who competed on it. This time around, I’m talking about something that affects ALL mixed martial artists in the Ultimate Fighting Championship.

The UFC announced this week that it will implement far stricter, far more comprehensive drug testing in the wake of fighters like Anderson Silva a Hector Lombard failing tests for performance-enhancing drugs (PED), ia Jon Jones a Nick Diaz failed tests for cocaine and marijuana, aua.

Increased drug testing and harsher penalties can only help the UFC, and mixed martial arts in general. But what brought on this increase in failed tests? PEDs have been a part of sports long before MMA fighters started taking them, and they have been a problem in MMA prior to the last month-and-a-half.

But more fighters seem to be getting caught. As in most sports, there is a tremendous amount of pressure to perform in MMA and in the UFC. If you don’t perform, you basically don’t get paid. The increased demand for UFC programming by virtue of its deal with FOX could also be a factor. They went from being on Spike TVwhere they only broadcast “The Ultimate Fighter” once a year and two or three live fight cards annuallyto practically having two live fight cards a month and airing “The Ultimate Fighter” twice a year on the FOX channels.

The increase in programming means a need of more bodies to fill that programming. It also means that more fighters are training for more fights, which can lead to more injuries. PED, in addition to giving you a competitive advantage over your opponent, allow you to recover from injuries more quickly. With the need for more fighters to fill more fight cards, I think it’s possible the apparent increase in failed drug tests can at least be partly attributed to that.

The UFC’s increased drug-testing measures take effect July 1. What can we expect once it does? Here are some of the guidelines the UFC presented.

Even UFC CEO Lorenzo Fertitta admitted during this week’s press conference that things “would get worse before they better” with the new testing. Ētahi atu, it remains to be seen how much of this will actually stick once July 1 rolls around. UFC previously considered expanding its drug-testing efforts before but pulled back, citing cost and a previously botched attempt at doing so.

Heoi, with the rash of high-profile stars like Silva, Jones and Diaz failing tests, cost can’t be considered a hindrance and the UFC must be vigilant. Browsing my Twitter feed following the press conference, it was eerily quiet. Almost no fighters weighed in initially. It is likely that was just a byproduct of the press conference taking place on a Wednesday afternoon, when most people are working or presumably have other things to do besides post on Twitter. But it was still pretty telling. It seems like this has grabbed fighters’ attention, as it should.

What do I think will happen? There will be an increase in failed test once the new measures take effect July 1, I’m fairly confident. But given that the UFC is supporting harsh penalties for those who do failincluding a ban of up to four yearsI expect the dirty fighters to eventually cycle themselves out and the ones who compete clean (which is most of them, presumably) to take a more prominent role.

Increased drug testing is long overdue in the UFC. The sport of mixed martial arts itself is still in its infancy, especially compared to other sports like football, basketball and baseball. But just like baseball is still recovering from its own crisis with PEDs, these recent failed drug tests have shaken the foundation of the UFC and have harkened back to the days when it was referred to as “human cockfighting.”

UFC adopted the slogan “The Time Is Now” for 2015, and I couldn’t agree more. The time is now for them to take the lead in cleaning up the sport of mixed martial arts.

UFC Whawhai Night: The Swedish Are Coming!

In a land once popularized in a Tom Green (remember him?) song“Lonely Swedish (The Bum Bum Song)” – the Ultimate Fighting Championship brings a Fight Night card that will hopefully bring more attention than a song about a Canadian’s ass.

The first FOX card of the new year, UFC Whawhai Night: Sweden, brings the national stage of FOX overseas and gives America a glimpse into the UFC’s ongoing overseas expansion. But unlike previous UFC overseas cards, this one is not short on star power. Let’s see if a clear-cut no. 1 contender for Jon Jones’ light heavyweight title will emerge.

Akira Corassani (16-4-1) vs. Sam Sicilia (13-5) (Featherweight – 145 lbs.)

This is a matchup of The Ultimate Fighter alumni, with both guys coming off losses and Corassani coming off back-to-back losses to Max Holloway and Dustin Poirier. Corassani’s also been finished early in both fights, while Sicilia is coming off a submission loss. In a crowded featherweight division, a knockout or submission victory would go a long way toward boosting either of these gentlemen’s stock. I like Sicilia to finish Corassani and possibly give him his walking papers after three straight losses.

Winner: Sicilia by second-round TKO

Phil “Mr. Wonderful” Davis (13-2) vs. Ryan “Darth” Bader (19-4) (Light Heavyweight – 205 lbs.)

Both of these guys are poised for another run at the top of the light heavyweight division. Both of these guys are coming off victories and actually faced each other in college when Davis wrestled for Penn State and Bader wrestled for Arizona State. Davis uses his wrestling to smother opponents and grind out unanimous decision victories, while Bader uses his wrestling when necessary but also has lethal knockout power.

I expect Davis to try and get this fight to the ground early, and if he succeeds I think he can use his reach advantage and athleticism to keep Bader down. Bader must keep this fight standing to have a chance, and I think he will avoid the temptation to avenge his college loss to Davis by engaging in another wrestling match. I like Bader to land more shots and score an upset victory.

Winner: Bader by unanimous decision

Dan “Hendo” Henderson (30-12) vs. Gegard Mousasi (35-5-2) (Middleweight – 185 lbs.)

Henderson returns to middleweight after a mostly ill-fated run at light heavyweight, including being tossed around like a rag doll and submitted by Daniel Cormier in his last fight. Simply put, if Henderson can’t land his patented “H-Bomb” right hand for a knockout, he’s easily susceptible to defeat.

I think the wars of years past are finally catching up to Henderson. He will go down as one of the greatest fighters ever not to hold a UFC title, but he simply can’t keep up with the sport’s elite any more. He will leave himself open when wanting to drop the H-Bomb, and Mousasi will take advantage.

Winner: Mousasi by third-round submission

Alexander “The Mauler” Gustafsson (16-2) vs. Anthony “Rumble” Johnson (18-4) (Light Heavyweight – 205 lbs.)

The winner of this fight will receive the next shot at light heavyweight champion Jon Jones, and it would represent a rematch for Gustafsson. He took Jones closer to defeat than anyone else has during their epic 2013 matchup. Depending on who ask, some people think the Swede actually won that fight.

Johnson is rapidly ascending the 205-pound ladder after knocking out Antonio Rogerio Nogueira and scoring an upset win over Phil Davis to begin his climb. Johnson also has devastating knockout power and if he lands one such shot on Gustafsson, the Swede’s road to redemption is derailed. But I think Gustafsson uses his reach advantage (which is nearly identical to Jones) to keep Johnson at bay and make Johnson go a full five rounds.

Gustafsson’s striking in the 205-pound division is second to none, and I like him to land enough of those to secure a rematch with Jones later this year.

Winner: Gustafsson by unanimous decision

Jon Jones whainatia hoki Cocaine Whakamahia, Ko UFC Light Heavyweight Champ tonu te mea ki te tiki i Motuhake maimoatanga i roto i te Cocaine take

Whakahōutia 1/19/2015 ki tonu ataata uiuiraa:

By: Rich Bergeron

No te pā Martial Arts Mixed Penei ka matenuitia e te totohe a tawhio noa Jon Jones me te whakamātautau kōpeka i taitā ia i roto i te take kukarou, “Ko te Interview” Ko te kore e he pukuhohe pakipūmeka James Franco me Heta Rogen.

E whakaatu ana te topenga i runga noa i te tahi Maramara o te tonu Fox Sports 1 wātū noho-iho e karapoti ana i te hua o te Hakihea 4 “i roto i te whakataetae” whakamātautau e te nuinga pā MMA huri noa i te ao, e teie nei te katoa maheni rawa ki. No te hunga i runga i te aorangi rerekē nei kihai i rongo i te rongo, whakakitea te whakamātautau metabolites kukarou Jones i roto i tona pūnaha.

I teie pô,, Kei te puta mai Jones i roto i te-whanga roa “haere mai ki a Ihu” taime i roto i te mua o te kāmera, engari hei utu mo o Barbara Walters te ani i te mau uiraa, te reira Charissa Thompson. The Jones Interview is slated for an 11PM EST time slot, roa i muri i nga tamariki nohinohi katoa te hunga e titiro ki runga ki a ia te haere ki te moenga. No te atu kōrero i runga i te aha, ka hipokina, tirohia i roto i maka tenei arokite i te Fox i roto i te mua.

Kihai i tangohia e te reira tino roa i muri papa pūrongo o te whakamātautau pai mo nga ngahau Scarface , memes me parodies ki te tīmata komuhumuhu. Though the situation is far from funny to many folks who are truly disgusted by these developments, it’s really hard not to laugh at some of the stuff paninga katoa puta noa i te Twitterverse about Jones. Take Making kino e pūrongo e pau te UFC Light Heavyweight Champion anake 24 haora i roto i te Rehab, heoi kitea kotahi ano e patata ana i runga i Twitter, he torutoru huarahi ki te tawai mai i taua whanaketanga me:

Ko te tetahi fafau te whanaketanga ki te haere mai i roto i te āhuatanga katoa, ko e te pae hopea marere ake te UFC, a wehea e etahi iti whiu i runga i Jones. Ahakoa te mea te reira te mutunga te ra, me te poto he torutoru mano tara, te whakatairanga hit ratou tamaiti pānui ki te $25,000 pai a puta te faahitiraa parau i muri:

"Whakamatau pai mō te rehukeka Jones i roto i te whakamātautau whakahaere e te Nevada Komihana Athletic i runga i Dec i roto i-o-te whakataetae tarukino. 4, 2014. Te $25,000 Ka takohatia ki te hōtaka taonga ārai tūkino.

Ka haere mai te UFC ki tenei whakatau i muri i nga meka e karapoti ana i te take arotake, a i muri i te fariiraa i te haamauraa i te Komihana Athletic Nevada e Jones haere whakamātautau tarukino katoa e hiahiatia ana e whai ana a'ee i UFC 182 i runga i Jan. 3."

I te UFC tika mahara to ratou he waehere o te mahi e rapu ana e ratou o ratou kaitäkaro kirimana katoa ki te whai? Ko te he pātai ataahua, engari complicating take ko te take i tū overstepped te Komihana Athletic Nevada ratou rohe i ara ngohengohe Jones ki te whakamātautau mō te tahi mea e kore te e mau rāhuitia i roto i te i roto i te taiao whakataetae. The UFC’s legal bigwigs had to take a step back and figure out how to defend whatever punishment Jones would face in light of the test.

Au ra te waehere o te ofatiraa whakahaere ano he take tuwhera, me te kati ki te nuinga o ngā tohunga, engari hanga i te utu utu nui rawa pea e hoatu Jones he huarahi ki te tautohetohe i te pai. E whai ia ki te mahi i katoa, ko te karanga whakarongo ki te kōmihana sipoti'uhinga ki te whakamatautau ake hei “tirotiro whakahaere.” Te hanga i te pai ki te takoha, ano he ara nui ki te ārai i tetahi tamataraa ture e Jones te mea.

Tonu, ahakoa i te taha o tenei take kei runga koe, smacks te ohipa katoa o te kanohi e hawata ana whakaaturia e te UFC ki Jones. E mea ohie ia feruri i te hoê taata nei whawhai i runga i ngā kāri tuatahi o te UFC hoko maka tonu i roto i te whakahaere, ki te mau i roto i te āhuatanga i taua. Otiia, Papaki Jones i runga i te ringa ki te pai, me te iti mooni hoatu teitei whakamoemiti mo e faaino i te take, ano te toa ko ia. He even gets to go on national television and explain why he “messed ake.”

Ahakoa te nuinga o te wā e whai wāhi mai whawhai UFC nei whakamatautauria pai mō te kohua i roto i te tau tata ngā wheako tino rerekē e pā ana i roto i ngā whakamātautau whakataetae, Kihai i Dana White mai i roto i roto i tetahi o aua taime korero e pā ana ki te tauturu te nui e hiahiatia ana aua whawhai. Kihai ia i whakarārangi ake tetahi uiuiraa mo tetahi o aua whawhai ki te whatunga nui te UFC he mahi päpäho maha-miriona tāra ki te.

Kia tautohe ētahi pā Jones i parai te nuinga o nga faautu'araa pakari i roto i hoki ngā kaiwhakamahi tarukino i ngā take o te hunga hara tukurua. Ko e mo'oni, Ko te hara tuatahi mō Jones tenei, ina tae mai te reira ki te whakamātau tarukino. Otiia, tatou e kore e hoki e taea e te tau'a ore i te meka e ia takaia ana Bentley a tawhio noa te pou waea, kowhetetia he DUI, he torutoru tara mano i roto i te whaina, me whiu (whai wāhi $7,000 ki te whakakapi i te pou) me te whakatārewatanga raihana o te taraiwa-ono marama mo ona mahi i runga i te ata o Haratua 19, 2012. Kahore he whiu e e te UFC mo te tutukitanga. I tukua e ia ki te paruru i tona taitara i Mahuru o te taua tau.

Te mea uaua ki te whakaaro noa nga ngä kaitäkaro pai i roto i tetahi atu hākinakina whiwhi i te maimoatanga ano e ratou rangatira. Fakakaukau angé ki te take o Diego Maradona, arguably the best soccer player ever. I whakatarewatia tana mahi i te hākinakina hoki 15 marama i roto i te 1991 i muri i te kore he whakamātautau tarukino tika ki te rehukeka. Hoki i roto i 2007, I whakamatauria pai mo te taua metabolites kitea i roto i te Jones Martina Hingis, engari i mau ia taumata i raro i te taumata e manakohia i roto i te kawa āta raau o te United States hōia. Ko te International Tennis Federation tonu whakatārewatia ia mo te rua tau. He hākinakina e rua enei te wahi e kore e ko te whāinga kī ki te tukino i tou hoa tauwhainga i roto i te tikanga ki te riro. MMA Ko te kararehe rerekē, a tae noa i roto i te whakangungu whawhai taea maha whara.

Ahakoa “i roto i te whakataetae” e kore e whakauru i te whawhai kātipa utua he toi hōia whakauru ngā ki te whakataetae i roto i te, te reira i te wā, no te taea e tupu i te nui o te mākutu. Ahakoa torutoru e tohe kukarou ko te mahi whakarei ake tarukino, i reira te he take te parau “Ou'aa'era ake i runga i kukarouis so common. Ki te i roto i tetahi wā whakangungu te wahi i puta mākutu Jon Jones i raro i te mana o te raau taero, i taea kua maka e ia ki a ia tona hoa mākutu, me / ranei i roto i te ati tino. Not to mention the damage a long-term cocaine habit can do to a person. Ahakoa whakanonoi ia e kore te ia i te kahunga, e te he faaea noa o te tangata nei i ngā raruraru tarukino tino.

E rave rahi mau taime, iwi i roto i te tūranga rite Jones e kore e tika e taea e hapai i te rongo whakarongo, me e tae mai ki te stardom. Na ratou tahuri ki te ngakau hiato matū o te momo ture, me te ture. E mea ohie ia taa no te aha te he Jones enei take, engari i te wa ano he mea tika atu katoa i te ki te pai ki te hoatu ki a ia he taua ara ngāwari i roto i.

Ara atu na i to te toharite Joe nei mutu ake te whakamātau ki te taero, te tangata kia rite ki Jones taea ngāwari ki te whai i te peu tino kino, a ka he ia nga take ki te huna i te reira i te iwi whānui. Tenei te tikanga i te tapa'o o te ma'unimaá–te whakamahi i ia anake–conceivably taea te huna e Jones mo o te wā, he wā roa.

Whakahere ake iti whiu, mahi rite e kore te mea i te raruraru nui, me te tuku ki a ia te haere i runga i te record ki te mana whakakahore e tetahi raruraru ki te rehukeka ia i taea e tino tuukino ki tona ora. He pono rawa tenei ki te ia pono e he raruraru nui e te whai ia kia pakeke ki te karo i fakahaa'i.

Ko te wahi kino rawa o tenei tauira e katoa, ahakoa, Ko te kupu ka tonoa e te heheuraa e te mea kahore he ture pakeke i riria whakamahi rehukeka i roto i te whakataetae, i te iti rawa tae noa ki āwangawanga te Komihana Athletic Nevada te. Ngakau rua ahau maha toi hōia whakauru kaimekemeke ranei i mohio e ki mua i tenei raruraru i hanga rongo kupu matua. Na mahi ratou, me e taea e te waihanga i tētahi raruraru tino nui.

Maha mai Toa i ngā pakeke, a hei utu mo o perpetuating te whanonga e anake arata'i ki te whare herehere, tahuri ratou ki te whawhai ki te mawhiti i te raau taero, me te hara. Hanga ana tēnei raruraru mārama reira ki nga toa nei ai kua i pai ki te tiki whai wāhi ki te rehukeka i roto i te mua, e teie nei e taea te whiwhi atu ia ranei ia ki te mahi i te reira i runga i te râ, kotahi, e rua, ranei te wa e kore e whawhai ratou. Hia o teie mau whawhai ka peke tika hoki ki taua āhua noho tawhito whiwhi kotahi ratou ki te mata o te pari?

Hia oraraa i taea pea te ngaro, te tini o tūranga tauira, ka kitea rite mahia tahaetia, a ki te maha mahi kia ka derailed tūturu no te mea inaianei e matau ana whawhai, kahore te feaa e taea e rite te roa rite kore ngā reira kitea i roto i taua iti ratou taero ture o nga mea katoa “i roto i te whakataetae” matapihi? E kore tatou e mohio, no te mea rite tu te reira e kore e taea e matou te mohio. E kore e mahara matou ki te mohio. Taua ara te whiu noho huna ake ake, i te mea i reira tarukino whakamahi me te tūkino festers me tupu ake rohe, me te kino ki te kaiwhakamahi, me te hunga tetahi taha ia ranei ia.

Ahakoa Jones Ko te kahunga e kore e kore e mahuinga ranei. Ko te meka ko, I hanga e ia he whiriwhiri kino e taea e hanga whawhai rave rahi ki te hoatu i roto i te taua tūnga. Sometimes it just takes one poor decision to start a downward spiral that only ends in tragedy. Penei i tenei taata rerekē te mea tika e taea e ia te tiki i roto i te whare herehere, ka maka ki raro, ki te pai i roto i tona wehenga, he tohutaka mo te kino.

Ahakoa ki te mea he-ono marama whakatārewatanga i te hākinakina, te tahi mea atu kia mahi i te UFC ki te tuku i te karere rerekē, me te ake faufaa. Me te UFC ratou whawhai ki te kahore e matau ki te mea OK tenei, e kore e fariihia, a kia kaua e toutou i te tetahi i runga i to ratou rārangi.

Accidents me mau hape tupu ki te pai o te iwi nei i te huru kaha, engari ka taea e enei ana◊ei te hei pae maunga, ka mahue taki.
