Bloody Elbow Radio, presented by Bad Boy, will be LIVE! at 4 p.m. ET/1 p.m. PT for another edition of the show. Join hosts Matt Bishop and MMA Mania's Brian Hemminger as they discuss all the latest in mixed martial arts, including the drug test failure of Muhammed Lawal, a long discussion on PEDs in MMA on the heels of the UFC's decision to test new signees, plus a look at how Strikeforce's upcoming Columbus show could struggled and more.

We'll also welcome MMA author Lance Freimuth to the show, who recently penned "The Grappler's Manifesto" with a host of notable MMA fighters and trainers. We'll chat with him about his book, which has been described as a mix tape for grapplers, his background and much more.

Well

I picked an interesting day to be free and be able to listen to at least part of this show live, rather than on download after the fact.

Oh man, Brian has some unique stories, and I’m not saying that in a bad way.

I’m definitely interested in hearing you guys talk about the big stories of the day given that you guys have talked to that individual in person several times.

It’d be great if it was Rousey. It’s just recently that I’ve heard some of the trash she’s been talking as of late. I know, she’s playing a character to get attention and all that, but saying that Cris Cyborg has a penis… that sort of thing turns me off.

And no I’m not bashing her because of that thing with her vs. MMA Mania and Mr. Hemminger!

I step away for a minute and the first thing I hear is “Lex Luger”… that wasn’t expected.

This would have to monitored or else you’d have A LOT of steroid related health problems, injuries and possibly even deaths. ACs don’t have the money to carry out proper urine testing, much less monitoring the dangerous use of PEDs. Giving everyone free reign with PEDs is not a realistic answer.

by Machiel Van on Jan 17, 2012 4:53 PM EST up reply actions  

Random testing done by ACs is what I want.

Failing that, random testing enforced and executed by the UFC.

by Machiel Van on Jan 17, 2012 4:50 PM EST reply actions  

No, i dont want to see the commission doing it. They are incompetent.

If you want it done, it should be in house in the UFC. Keep it random like 6 times a year doing blood tests and that will solve your problem. Id rather see all of them on gear because the fighters are down to do it and id like to see the KOs

by Adam Reichental on Jan 17, 2012 4:52 PM EST up reply actions  

they can get it right.

When does the government doing anything well. Look no further that NSAC and CSAC. Watch teh hearings and you know its a joke. If the UFC doesnt enforce it, its because they dont want to. Not because they cant.

by Adam Reichental on Jan 17, 2012 4:56 PM EST up reply actions  

Give me a break. Are you going to continue to spew this laughable opinion?

Why would the UFC care at all? The commission’s incompetence has allowed the UFC to make boatloads of cash. There isn’t enough of an outcry for anyone to care.

Furthermore, if you actually did any research, you’d understand that blood testing is still behind the designer market.

And the only reason we have this pre-signing test is to avoid these issues in the future. The UFC won’t release the results. It’ll just give them a gauge of who is juicing and who isn’t.

They don’t have the legal authority to ramdomly test there Europoean based fighters. Hell in the UK they would need the fighters consent.

Regarding steroids....

instead of protien, I’d like an HGH boost added to my drink from the local SmoothieHut.

The UFC won't randomly test everyone because they have too much to lose.

I suspect the UFC is trying to find a middle ground, where it allows them to show they’re serious, but at the same time don’t hang themselves in case a bunch of their top stars get popped. Blood tests are what I’d like to see at the very least, but this new policy is just a start by the UFC to see how far they should go. They’re testing the waters.

There are always guys out there trying to beat the test. theyll do it.

You want to lock it down, get WADA involved. Ban it out leagalize it. I dont care which but level the field.

Have you read WADA’s rules on random testing?

You can literally skip two tests without any reason before being punished.
