Fabio Maldonado apologizes for DHEA comments, says he was 'joking'

Former UFC light heavyweight Fabio Maldonado apologized to his fans and tried to explain himself following his comments regarding his fight against Fedor Emelianenko, when he said he would make use of USADA forbidden substance, DHEA.

After publicly telling the media he would use DHEA for his upcoming bout against Fedor Emelianenko, Fabio Maldonado took to Instagram to explain himself since his words had caused quite an impact. He went as far as to say he took USADA-forbidden substance while he was still fighting for the UFC.

As Maldonado said, though, he was merely joking about his intentions for using it in the Fedor fight.
