It keeps the playing field even. It makes it so guys have to do a better job of either hiding it, or just not taking it. I think a lot of guys would actually just do a better job of hiding. Like guys in the NFL, some get busted, but the guys who get busted are just the, not very intelligent ones, because it\u2019s not the hardest thing just to time it correctly to where you don\u2019t get caught whenever you get tested. That being said, I\u2019d be for more rigorous testing. They want the blood doping testing? We can do that, too. I\u2019m cool with that. Random testing? I\u2019d be for that.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>He concluded his thoughts saying &#8220;Random, blood testing; whatever you want to do, let\u2019s do it, because for me, I never even considered it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The UFC champ lets users know what he thinks about them, and offers them a stern warning:<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;Those guys who need a little extra bump, a little extra edge, they know it\u2019s illegal. They know they\u00a0shouldn&#8217;t\u00a0be doing it. Those guys are mentally weaker. They don\u2019t have that fortitude to push through and say, \u2018Yeah, I\u00a0didn&#8217;t\u00a0do this, but I\u2019m still going to beat your butt.\u2019 I\u2019m okay with guys taking it, to be honest. If you want to take all the steroids you want, and it cuts off 20 years of your life, but you want that five years of glory &#8212; cool. That\u2019s your decision. Go ahead and do whatever you want with your body. But it\u2019s still not going to pan out for you in the long run, because I\u2019m still going to beat you.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&nbsp;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UFC lightweight champion Benson Henderson has long been one of MMA&#8217;s foremost advocates against the use of performance enhancing drugs in the sport.
