    Reasonable. I doubt he'd want to be held responsible by Zuffa for nuking one of their shows.

    Rory should **** his world up. I'll be shocked if BJ at this age and weight isn't rag dolled into a pool of blood.

    Nevertheless, he is hardcore, would fight anyone, anywhere, anytime, anyweight, any condition and you simply couldn't imagine him doing any sort of PEDs.

    Poor diet is only one of many things that can cause acne. Fighters are exposed to a lot of bacteria via wrestling and BJJ practice, and that could certainly lead to acne, especially in a young guy. Plus, it could just be genetic. There are a lot of factors.

    I see this two ways and agree with Penn.

    The "right" way? Sure, fail a test, failure is published, and fight is off. That works in a world where guys aren't eating off of the sport win or lose. This route you end up with tons of last minute poorly matched fights and ruined cards. The sport AND the fighters lose.

    The realistic way? MMA has proven, juice or not, guys live on to fight again and be competitive. Let the fight happen, purses switched, and call it a NC. Better to get a NC and the winner's purse than to have the bills and mental sacrifices from camp all for nothing. As the word gets out? More guys will just not go there because they know it is a fruitless endeavor. The sport is cleaned up while not being harmed.

    I really think Penn is on to something! I hope VADA and Dana listen.

    No way VADA will go for this. Just not going to happen.
