RDA responds to Green PED speculation
Rafael Dos Anjos: “Even though my post-fight test came back clean, people still want to talk about it and not value what I conquered … People just like to badmouth.”
UFC lightweight Bobby ‘King’ Green appeared recently on BJPENN.com Radio and implied that new UFC lightweight champion Rafael Dos Anjos was on PEDs
Let me point this fact our for you real quick,” said Green as transcribed by Ryan C. Miller for BJPenn.com. “I think he hurt his MCL or ACL two weeks before the fight, who does that and still goes into the fight, fights their a– off, kicks and knees and punches like no problem?
This guys got super better. His cardio has gotten better, his chin has gotten better and like everything, something is going on. Did you hear Anthony? He was like ‘I don’t know what happened, I don’t know what went wrong, I thought everything was great. Camp went great, I can’t figure out what I did wrong.’
“You didn’t do nothing wrong Ant, you didn’t do nothing wrong, you just don’t know what happened because you got bamboozled, you got played. You got played bro. That’s the way it is. Look at him, look at your body look at his body.
You’ve got to look at the writing on the wall for some of these guys. Look at their bodies. This guy goes five rounds non-stop, takes every shot like nothing, come on now.
I sparred with him personally, I felt it. I was like there’s something here. I felt it, I was like OK, there’s something a little bit different here. I knew what was going to happen to Ant, I knew what was going to happen.
I’m not even attacking him, I’m just going got let it be known that he’s a great fighter, I saw his talents, I saw him coming. But the point is that it looks a little funny to me, that’s all I’m saying.
It’s how Barry Bonds started hitting home runs.
Dos Anjos was given a PED test at UFC 185, and tested clean.
RDA defended himself in an interview with Brazil’s Combate.
“People want to talk and be in the spotlight, nobody wants to give credit,” said Dos Anjos as transcribed by Lucas Rezende for BE. “Even though my post-fight test came back clean, people still want to talk about it and not value what I conquered. You have to learn how to deal with that. People just like to badmouth.”
“Bobby Green can think whatever he wants, but next time I train with him, I won’t take it easy like I did before. “He was always nice and humble to me before, telling me he was a huge fan and now he does this? I guess he wants to be noticed. I only met him once, only trained with him once, he’s not my friend or anything to me”.
“It’s a frustrated attempt to promote himself. Everybody now wants to try something. But you can’t only talk, you have to work. If your star doesn’t shine don’t try and extinguish mine.”
