Re: Boxing/MMA

If its a clear failure it would cripple the UFC to not support a no contest. Something which is actually out of their hands anyway and will be overturned by the state athletic commission. Much like boxing, promotions don't and can't control decisions. There's so many problems that can arise from this. Naturally Leanar having to forfeit some of the purse on the basis of cheating. The defence by Dana White given numerous fighter suspensions for the same thing.

People can't just butt out though. Dana White.. Who is becoming increasingly shady consistently backed both Jones and Lesnar as clean fighters. Both of whom have failed tests in the past month. For hunt this is the second occasion he's faced a potential doper. In reality the pay off would allow him to quit. He isn't going anywhere. He's a mid rank guy like Lesnar whom also got flattened by those at the top. Notably Junior Dos Santos and Werdum. Lesnars being Overeem and Velasquez.

Plenty of fights to be had at that level though. Struve, Overroid rematch? Rothwell. All comes down to the substance and a potential 2 year ban.

Away from Lesnar though. Its becoming increasingly frustrating now this crap. Jon Jones particularly blowing main events. Can't think of a reason he'd need to cheat but there you go. In all it benefits no one now. If Dana White allows this to just continue (More the likes of Jones) then UFC has peaked and is freefalling. If Lesnar is guilty then they lose a lot of hype in a lopsided division. Lesnar is a draw. Fights like Struve vs Lesnar are entertainment guaranteed.
