When the news broke Friday of Brock Lesnar's potential out-of-competition USADA violation -- which was followed by Tuesday's news of his UFC 200 in-competition drug test failure -- Lesnar's opponent, Mark Hunt, was none too happy.
Urijah Faber, for his part, wonders what this all could mean going forward. Mixed martial arts is a dangerous pursuit, as "Cyborg" Santos' gruesome skull fracture over the weekend attests. While Faber isn't accusing Santos' opponent, Michael Page, of anything, the sheer scope of the injury, coming at a time when performance enhancing drugs figure prominently in the news, makes the former WEC featherweight champion wonder if the timing involved in these drug tests could lead to potential legal action.
"It puts things in perspective when you see Cyborg's head get crushed, his skull get crushed," Faber said on Monday's edition of The MMA Hour. "The human body, certain individuals have certain abilities. Is there a legal attempted murder if you're using something like that, if you're using something potentially using to make yourself a weapon that's illegal, and you're going to crush somebody's skull. It's a weird thing, and there's a reason why we have rules in this sport to make sure something like that doesn't happen."
