A guy has super miraculous recovery from an injury and people are surprised that he had steroids in his system? — ike vallie-flagg (@IKEVF) February 4, 2015

Why the fuck did Anderson get to fight? It’s a seriously dangerous sport that could cause serious trauma #DontBeScaredHomie — Ramsey Nijem (@RamseyNijem) February 4, 2015

We’re Silva’s test results known by the commission and UFC before the fight? If so, why was he allowed to compete? — TJ Grant (@TJ_Grant) February 4, 2015

Someone once told me “If you’re in the top 10 in UFC you’re on something!” Looks more and more true with every major fight. Sad to hear. — Anthony Birchak (@abirchakMMA) February 4, 2015

FUCKING SERIOUSLY is everyone on the fucking sauce? — Tom Lawlor (@FilthyTomLawlor) February 4, 2015

Ok. Took a little Twitter vacation, came back and it was this. Ugh. Leaving again. — Julie Kedzie (@julesk_fighter) February 4, 2015

Wait what… — Derek Brunson (@DerekBrunson) February 4, 2015

I can’t wait until we can just focus on MMA without all the extra drug test failures, etc — Derek Brunson (@DerekBrunson) February 4, 2015

So did NSAC get ASilvas test results back BEFORE his fight and let him fight? I’m confused? — Cody Gibson (@TheRenegade559) February 4, 2015

What’s the point of doing pre fight testing (as in 1/9) if you don’t get the results back until after the fight? Rush that shit to the lab — Cody Gibson (@TheRenegade559) February 4, 2015

Anderson silva vs nick Diaz = no contest now. Right? — Cody Bollinger (@CodyBollinger) February 4, 2015
