Chael Sonen, ever the story teller, talked about knowing Jon Jones was using PEDs before it ever came out because he himself had "more juice than Tropicana" and still got pushed around in an MMA fight.

Yeah id have to assume PEDs in MMA is rampant, isn't it? I'm not a big combat sports type of guy but with the punishment they dish out and receive, and the required recovery that PEDs would be very in fashion there.

Depending on who you ask, you'd come away thinking its ubiquitous. People pop all the time, for one thing. The UFC dropped USADA and instead went with some less standard testing when Connor McGregor was set to make a return. There was also a fun story about Nick Diaz vs Anderson Silva. Silva, known as a legendary unstoppable monster, ends up popping for PEDs, so Diaz was going to be declared the winner, but it turns out Diaz popped for weed. He was so hot that there was no way he wasn't high during the fight.
