I am shocked that people that get paid millions of dollars to try to beat someone else bloody by any means possible would take steroids, shocked I tell ya!

For the second time in as many pay-per-view events, UFC president Dana White has a drug scandal on his hands. The promotion announced Tuesday that former middleweight champion Anderson Silva tested positive for drostanolone metabolites prior to his unanimous-decision victory over Nick Diaz at UFC 183.
"Anderson Silva has been an amazing champion and a true ambassador of the sport of mixed martial arts and the UFC, in Brazil as well as around the world," the statement read. "UFC is disappointed to learn of these initial results. The UFC has a strict, consistent policy against the use of any illegal and/or performance enhancing drugs, stimulants or masking agents by its athletes."
What's more, Diaz also failed a drug test—his a post-fight screening for marijuana. The UFC stated that a hearing will take place later this month
