Under gårdagen kom UFC ut med informationen att lättviktaren Gilbert Melendez testat positivt under ett dopningstest, som gjordes efter förlusten mot Eddie Alvarez förra månaden. Han kommer nu att straffas med avstängning i 1 år.
Här får vi se vad MMA-världen hade att säga om avstängningen, via Twitter:

What the Funk is up with people and their supplements and PED-using minds? I don’t take crap unless it’s a gummy multi-vitamins. #ForWhy?

Melendez’s suspension will force the UFC to make its 29th change to a main or co-main event in 2015.

34 when he returns. Three losses in past four, including two title fights, against higher-level opponents than in SF. Shark may be jumped.

Gilbert Melendez, 1-3 in the UFC, tested positive for testosterone metabolites at UFC 188. Didn’t see that coming.

Just spoke with @ALIAQUINTA. He didn’t know about the Melendez news. Not sure his statement is printable, but let’s just say he’s not happy.
