Povetkin refusing VADA testing...could be trouble

[RussB23]

The reason he didn't sign with UFC was cuz they were gonna low ball him... he felt that since he was undefeated for more than a decade that he should get paid well.... and then tim silva went to fight fedor and got his ass whooped later that year or the next year... proving that fedor > any ufc heavyweight at that time.

No fedor didnt sign with the UFC because he wanted to fight bums and pad his record. Remember when he got his ass kicked at strikeforce 3 times in a row? He couldnt even beat hendo. He would have gotten ass kickings like that alot earlier if he ever signed with the UFC. Thats why he even avoided the UFC now and signed to fight no name bums in Rizin.

Smh these Haymon fighters will look for excuses out of any tough fights.

Why didn't you demand everyone else to do VADA?

Haymon the grandmaster of developing coward prize fighters.

What??? lol the WBC is the one's who demand it now..ya'll really confuse me with VADA..ya'll demand it for some fighters then say its an excuse for others

TS do you have a legit source btw? Not surprised by this news lots of ppl think povetkin is on steroids but wheres your source?

[-PBP-]

If this is true it's a disgusting maneuver by an athlete who is already on red alert.

Padded records? talk about reaching! He just fought last december to see if he can still fight. The dude has been fighting well over 15 years & he only lost after being undefeated for 10 years and fighting pretty much everywhere. Its not like he signed up with one promoter and they "guided" his career. The rest of the MMA world doesn't do what UFC does. There's a big difference. Does UFC have the best fighters. NO.

Tim Sylvia wasn't even a champ when they fought. lol I don't follow UFC, but seeing the wiki page the equivalent would have been Brock Lesnar

Um why are people assuming this is reliable??

UFC has the best fighters lol. Who has fedor beat ? Couldnt beat werdum who is the current UFC heavyweight champion, couldnt beat henderson(another ufc fighter), and couldnt beat bumass bigfoot (another UFC fighter). Fedor got his ass beat by 3 UFC fighters. He wouldnt beat any of the top 5 ufc heavyweights or light heavyweights on the ufc roster.

Sylvia just lost the title to couture and he lost vs big foot silva for the interim title, who then big foot went & fought couture. Sylvia's very next fight was vs fedor WHO WHOOPED HIS ASS!

If I didn't have a source, then I wouldn't have anything to post, would I?

That's what I'm asking for - a source.

Heard it from both Wilder's camp and from someone with the WBC.

Where did you hear this? In person, on Twitter, on a forum, etc?
