Derek Brunson is letting the USADA know that their system is flawed.
Derek Brunson has been a staple within the UFC middleweight division for ten years. He has had his ups and downs all through these years however most not too long ago he has discovered his method to the highest of the stacked division. Being part of the UFC as a complete has its pluses and its minuses. Brunson most not too long ago set free a rant on social media about one of many minuses that include being a UFC fighter, coping with the U.S Anti-Doping Company.
In 2015, the USADA took over drug testing UFC athletes. The aim was to advertise a protected and clear sport and within the years for the reason that adoption of the USADA, many fighters have been suspended for failing drug tests. Suspensions can come from failing a check however may come from failing to correctly report their whereabouts.
Fighters should let the USADA know the place they are going to be always so as to enable for utterly random drug testing. Failing to take action 3 times may end up in a suspension. Apparently, Brunson missed his submission and took to Twitter to pontificate on the flawed plan.

“@usantidoping must be the worst testing program out. Think about making an attempt to deal with enterprise outdoors of the octagon and having to take fast flights to examine on properties, having a household and different stuff happening, and many others and them providing you with failures since you forgot to replace the glitchy app. There’s a number of athletes out right here taking peds however nobody failing. Get your gps function again. Giving somebody a failed whereabouts isn’t the identical as somebody failing a ped check,” Brunson wrote.
This led folks to imagine that he had actually been suspended however he later adopted it up with extra of an evidence.
“Simply to be clear. Usada gave me a whereabouts infraction as a result of I didn’t replace my location. Stating I’ve 2 whereabout infractions and 1 extra may lead to a 2 yr suspension,” he wrote. “They use to have gps monitoring, possibly get again the system that labored for fighters!”
Brunson is coming off a loss to Jared Cannonier again in February. On the time of that struggle, Brunson’s plan was to beat Cannonier, then beat Adesanya, and then retire. With the loss to Cannonier, who’s now preventing for the belt subsequent, Brunson might want to string collectively a couple of extra fights earlier than getting that title shot.
