Gordon Ryan responds to USADA end

[MCDojoMMA]

 

[xentreos]

So weird how absolutely pumped up the juicers are for Usada to be gone.

 

[El Fernas]

The UFC cant go back to the Pride days, anti dopping its part of making it a legit sport, sure entertainment value is part of it like he said, but there is no way they drop testing altogether with USADA, it will go with someone else.

 

[Wilmer Digreux]

That guy knows what he's talking about

 

[Azure]

Steroid Cheat cheering for no testing.. Big surprise

 

[Draxton]

That guy knows what he's talking about

Steroids right? This guy knows steroids?

 

[Corrado Soprano]

If your first name could be your last name and your last name your first… I don’t trust you. Also I get bad vibes from people who don’t use paragraphs.

 

[Young Calf Kick]

That guy knows what he's talking about

He does. I had a training session after Gordon and Jones were done there and I tested positive off of touching the mats alone

 

[HNIC215]

This guy LOL

Stop trying to justify your career pal.

Such a western mindset - “wE sHoULd Be aLloWeD to cHeAT!!” - LMAO

Bet you the Dagestani’s don’t think like that. Fight fair, cheaters should be penalized and should not be recognized as GOATs or Hero’s.

Tbf both perspectives are valid. The non juicing part being the more moral approach. But then nobody should be allowed to juice and the governing bodies should see to it that the test system doesn’t have holes in it so that it actually becomes an attainable standard. That just isn’t happening.

 

[Objectively Correct]

Steroids right? This guy knows steroids?

Yes, I believe that was the joke.

 

[fizzlehiss]

Remember when he kept claiming natty? What a pathetic roidmonkey.

 

[Fergelmince]

The entertainment value is going to benefit. Some (5%) will elect to not do any PEDs. Maybe we'll see a non-roided Sean Strickland against a roided-to-the-gills Sean O'Malley. Imagine seeing a roided cormier on ozempic, lol.

Good bye USADA.

edit: I wonder how soon we'll adesanya's gyno come back

Plus, gordonhatesparagraphs

 

[svmr_db]

Just another guy who really thought USADA leaving translated to no drug testing. That's not the case.

 

[MuffinsAppletree]

Ufc/Wwe is such a shit show.

This is why they will never be taken seriously.

rigged

Dana

DraftKings/gambling

hilarious

He's entitled to his opinion. I wholehearedly disagree. Part of making this sport mainstream is having basic things like drug testing, athletic commission oversight, a living wage / benefits for the fighters, etc. There is still much work to be done (for example, with fighter pay), but the progress and growth is undeniable.

To go back to the free-for-all days of the 90s-early 00s seems fun, but would actually be a regression that could see not just the UFC, but the sport as a whole, lose the mainstream acceptance it worked for decades to attain, resulting in:
- loss of ESPN/other big broadcasting deals/major sponsors
- less money for fighters
-fights taking place in small clubs in unregulated areas

I remember not being able to watch MMA because the cable companies were pressured to take it off the air in late 90s-early 00s. I don't want to go back to that time.
