UFC womens bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey shared her thoughts on the increased drug testing failures in mixed martial arts and PED use. <\/p>\n
Like everyone else in the mixed martial arts community, UFC womens bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey was shocked and upset by the news that pound-for-pound legend Anderson Silva had tested positive for anabolic steroids prior to UFC 183. <\/p>\n
Silva tested positive fordrostanolone andandrosterone; both substances banned under the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) code which the Nevada State Athletic Commission follows. <\/p>\n
I was heartbroken to hear that, I wanted to cry, Rousey recounted as she spoke with Yahoo Sports. <\/p>\n
Rousey has always spoken openly about her feelings on performance-enhancing drug use, previously saying fighters who enter the cage on PEDs should be charged with attempted negligent homicide. <\/p>\n
When speaking with Yahoo, Rousey agani shared those thoughts, saying using PEDs to prepare for a fight is like entering the cage with a weapon. <\/p>\n
It is something the womens bantamweight champion believes could ruin the sport of MMA. <\/p>\n
People need to realize that is a weapon and theyre bringing a weapon into the cage and theyre making our sport unsafe,The day that a person dies in that Octagon and the person who killed them tests positive for performance-enhancing drugs, were going to have our first homicide case, she said. Its going to destroy the whole sport. <\/p>\n
Rouseys next fight is scheduled to headline UFC 184 on Feb. 28 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, Calif., as she takes on undefeated challenger Cat Zingano. <\/p>\n
However, one day prior to Rouseys meeting with Zingano, Cris Cyborg will fight. <\/p>\n
