THE SKY IS FALLING IN MMA

The sky is falling in the world of MMA. The GOAT, Anderson “The Spider” Silva, has tested positive for two steroids and his career, and legacy are in jeopardy. Hector Lombard tested positive for steroids and though he is a physical monster, it is still disappointing. Jon Fitch also tested positive for steroids before his last fight after being a career long objector to PED’s. If you can’t beat em, join em, I suppose.

Its not all steroids that are ruining the MMA world. BJ Penn finally found a fight he could win beating up a friend while drunk at a hotel. Matt Brown is in trouble for allegedly beating his Jiu-Jitsu coach.

Aleksander Emelianenko is charged with “kidnapping” and forced use of “narcotic drugs or psychotropic substances” stemming from a horrific incident with his maid. Let’s not forget Jon “Nose” Jones and his speculated cocaine habit.

And Nick Diaz tested positive for marijuana. Well okay, the last one isn’t a surprise and quite frankly isn’t newsworthy as weed is not a performance enhancing drug and should not even be tested for. 

All of these occurrences have left the hearts of the MMAFO staff crestfallen. MMA seems to be in a free fall of self-destruction and things will likely get worse before they get better. Stay strong MMA fans. Once enough people are busted for PED’s with these “surprise tests,” the sport will gradually become cleaner and we will be rid of the cheating elements that currently plague the sport. It will take time and it will be painful, but it is a necessity. 

Oh and Anderson, you broke my heart.
