As noted, Brock Lesnar was granted a special USADA exemption that allowed him to bypass the four-month window that all retired fighters must adhere to. As a result, there has been a ton of passionate reactions from many in the MMA community.
On the latest episode of his The Fighter And The Kid podcast, former UFC Heavyweight contender Brendan Schaub gave his reaction to the news, claiming that Lesnar’s opponent for his UFC comeback, Mark Hunt, should be allowed to “juice to the gills” as well.
Schaub stated the following during his most recent podcast, which you can check out in the clip embedded above.
“He (Lesnar) could have gotten off of them, and tailored off. Now he can fight and be clean. So I’m retired and let’s say they want me to fight; I have to give the drug testing sanction, body a four-month heads up like, ‘Hey, I am thinking about fighting.’ They will be like ‘Okay, you have four months where we are going to test you and you got to be clean.’ He skipped all of that and now he only has four weeks where they can test him. Does no one think this is fishy? Hey man, you can’t do that! Mark Hunt should be able to take whatever he wants. Mark Hunt should come juiced to the gills and look like fucking Chong Li from Blood sport with traps from here to here. Fuck you!”
Schaub also went as far as to say that it’s quite possible that Lesnar and the UFC knew ahead of time that he would be returning, and handled things the way they did to bypass the USADA policy.
“So maybe six months ago he told Dana, ‘Hey man I want to fight.’ And Dana was like, ‘Cool, well listen you know there is that four-month window.’ And he’ll say, ‘Okay, let’s see how we can work around this,’ If this doesn’t signal to every human being in the world that he’s probably on stuff.”
Brock Lesnar makes his long-awaited Octagon return against the number eight-ranked heavyweight contender Mark Hunt in the co-main event of the landmark UFC 200 event, which is scheduled for Saturday, July 9, 2016 at the brand new T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
