Matt Brown likes lifetime ban for PED use
Mat Brown: “Like I’ve said many times before, I think he should have been (suspended) four years, take his whole damn purse away, if not a lifetime (ban).”
The greatest fighter in UFC history, Anderson Silva, is currently under suspension and has been fined $380,000, after failing multiple PED tests. On his latest Great MMA Debate podcast, UFC welterweight Matt Brown said that punishment is not nearly enough.
“I have no respect for people that cheat,” said Brown as transcribed by Damon Martin for FOX Sports. “Like I’ve said many times before, I think he should have been (suspended) four years, take his whole damn purse away, if not a lifetime (ban).
“I don’t see anything wrong with a lifetime ban.”
Under the new UFC drug-testing policy that went into effect on July 1, overseen by the independent United States Anti-Doping Agency, there is a suspension of up to four years for the first violation.
