UFC heavyweight signee and Olympian Bilyal Makhov discussed the meldonium doping scandal that overwhelmed Russia over the past month.
Bilyal Makhov, the 6'5" 290-pound Russian wrestling icon and UFC signee, has been involved in competitive sport for the vast majority of his life. The 0-0 UFC signee, who is expected to participate in the 2016 Rio Olympics, is a multi-time freestyle wrestling champion, and even won dual bronze medals in Greco-Roman and Freestyle wrestling at the Worlds last year.
Given his experience at the elite sporting level, Makhov has seen his fair share of doping.
The latest doping scandal is related to Meldonium, which is a blood-flow substance that helps expand exercise capacity.
