Lyoto Machida is a man known to carefully choose his words. So on the rare occasion the former UFC light heavyweight champion issues a strong opinion in public, it's going to garner attention.
Several days after learning that he has been suspended 18 months by USADA for taking the banned substance 7-keto-dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) prior to a scheduled April fight with Dan Henderson, Machida is still upset with his penalty.
In his first interview since he was first flagged for the violation, Machida says he is disappointed and the process was not a fair one.
