Curtis Blaydes says ‘it’s about time’ USADA stopped punishing fighters for marijuana

Curtis Blaydes knows his UFC record should stand at 10-2 but instead he’s only credited with nine wins, two losses and one no contest after one of his victories was taken away.

The win wasn’t eradicated from his record because he did something illegal during the fight or got busted for using steroids. No, Blaydes tested positive for marijuana over 15ng/mL in the state of Texas during a second-round TKO victory against Adam Milstead in his second appearance in the UFC.

State commissions are able to set their own thresholds for drug testing policies like the one that cost Blaydes his win.
