    Almost every UFC card the last couple of years has been trashed because of training injuries.
    Fighters primarily use steroids to heal faster.
    The solution: increased penalties for steroid use.

    I have to admit that part of my annoyance with this idea is rooted in the Silva/Diaz fight.

    It looked to me as if Diaz was just there to go through the motions and collect his check. Calling it a "no contest" is a gift. Rewarding him with a win is sickening!

    Maybe it counts as a loss to the cheater but not as a win to the other fighter?

    That would make more sense.
