In his eyes, both of these men should be facing lengthy suspensions for their recent failed drug tests.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis sport is starting to get a little jokey,\u201d Rockhold said. \u201cI\u2019m just sick of watching Brock [Lesnar], watching Jon \u2013 when you get down to real business, these guys should be suspended for a long time. People are learning how to cheat the system. USADA is owned by the UFC.<\/p>\n<p id=\"zLfsdY\">\u201cI like fighting clean,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;I\u2019ve always fought clean, and I want to fight clean people. I want to fight fair. I want a fair playing field. USADA\u2019s got to step their game up and be what they were in the beginning. In the beginning, it seemed like they were doing their job. Now it seems like they\u2019re owned. It\u2019s sad to see, but hopefully it can correct itself and we can get on the right path. I\u2019m sick of it all, but I love it all at the same time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What do you think of these comments from Luke Rockhold?
