Twitter Reacts To Anderson Silva/Nick Diaz Failed Drug Tests

It’s been an odd, unexpected and crazy night of news in the MMA world, as we learned that Anderson Silva failed a drug test for anabolic steroids. In similar, but far less shocking news, his UFC 183 opponent Nick Diaz got popped for using Marijuana by a post-fight drug test. It really does suck to be a Silva/Diaz fan right now, as they’ll both have to face the commission on February 17th.

Take a look at how the world of social media responded to the Anderson Silva/Nick Diaz failed drug tests:

I'm going to let you guys all in on a little secret. EVERY SINGLE PROFESSIONAL ATHLETE IN EVERY SINGLE SPORT TAKES STEROIDS. You're welcome

So nobody can currently explain why Silva's Jan. 9 drug test results "didn't come in before Jan 31st" https://t.co/ilYVB16oja

Still, jokes aside, this can't be. Anderson Silva? On steroids? This one hurts, you guys. It hurts like one of these hasn't hurt in a while.

From when I spoke to Anderson in October: "Anderson Silva: Positive steroid tests should mean ‘no more fights’ – http://t.co/v9XacohA26"

Maybe since @nickdiaz209 will be suspended at length he would be open to coming to Asia and fighting under real MMA rules. @ONEFCMMA
