Sara McMann is sharing her thoughts on PED’s (Performance Enhancing Drugs) in the MMA.<\/p>\n

Sara McMann (13-6 MMA) defeated Karol Rosa (15-4 MMA) back on March 26th of this year and is getting ready to enter the cage to match up with Aspen Ladd (9-3 MMA) on August 13, 2022.<\/p>\n

McMann, UFC bantamweight fighter and former Olympic wrester, has her own opinions of performance enhancing drugs within the world of combat sports.<\/p>\n

The fighter entered the division around the time the USADA (United States Anti-Doping Agency) was introduced as the UFC\u2019s official, independent drug testing partner. During the time USADA<\/a> has been involved, many fighters have tested positive and been suspended, fined, or both.<\/p>\n

In speaking with ‘THE HANNIBAL TV’, Sara McMann had this to say about PED’s (h\/t MMANews<\/a>):<\/p>\n

\u201cI can tell you, unequivocally there are people cheating, and I\u2019ve actually fought opponents, sometimes it\u2019s people I beat, and sometimes it\u2019s people that I haven\u2019t and I\u2019ve had some of their teammates message me personally, I won\u2019t say who but like, Hey, I don\u2019t know if this helps or not but they definitely are doing PEDs and like it\u2019s, it kind of breaks my heart.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

McMann shared her views on the use of PED’s:<\/p>\n

\u201cMorally, I don\u2019t think it\u2019s okay. I don\u2019t. I don\u2019t want to know or be friends with or support anybody who cheats. Yeah. But even more than that, people have died in MMA, you know, or brain damage or alter their life and you say, \u2018Yeah, we signed a waiver, but we kind of signed the waiver expecting somebody to be on an even playing ground.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Finishing the 41 year old spoke about ‘a cheater league’:<\/p>\n

\u201cI mean, they should start a cheater league and then they can go and just bash each other\u2019s brains. Like, for me, I had to mentally kind of get past it. Because I had a lot of bitterness.”<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cI had a lot of bitterness and anger towards people who are doing that and I\u2019m like, you know if it gets to a certain point, I really feel like a lot of my opponents are cheating or doing PEDs. I\u2019ll just retire.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Do you, like Sara McMann, believe fighters are still cheating in the UFC by using PED’s?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
