During the course of the interviews, talks shifted to Chael Sonnen&#8217;s recent failed drug test, where the champ said:<\/p>\n<p><em>I feel like it, hopefully is just going to be the begginning of what&#8217;s been going on. I feel terrible, you know, Chael came out with his first statement, he got completely on my side, I think. I could understand where he was coming from. Vitor, Wanderlei, I wasn&#8217;t on their side. I think they&#8217;re obviously doing something. And Vitor got tested, he was way over on the TRT or whatever it is. But, Chael I felt bad for.<\/p>\n<p>Then those second tests came and it&#8217;s just, like, I still love Chael to death, but it just kind of opens up your eyes with what some guys could be doing. And it pissed me off. So, I want guys to be tested as much as possible; blood tests, whatever can be done.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Talks then shifted to Vitor Belfort, who is also a top ranked middleweight, Weidman said:<\/p>\n<p><em>You know, it&#8217;s hard for me to even think about Vitor at this point, but if I&#8217;m fighting Vitor, he&#8217;s gonna be tested. He&#8217;s been caught twice now, he looks&#8230; Last time I seen him I saw on the back, right by his shorts, there was, like, a little tail hanging out. He&#8217;s becoming like a horse, he&#8217;s got so much testosterone. I guess that wasn&#8217;t funny. I think he needs to be tested as much as possible if he&#8217;s been known to fail tests.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UFC middleweight champion Chris Weidman did a pre-fight media scrum today leading up to his title defense against Lyoto Machida.
