For those who may have been following MMA news closely, you may have noticed that the UFC recently added an arbitration clause for fighters who want to dispute USADA's findings.

They did it because of Jon Jones and Brock Lesnar. They both want to appeal, and the UFC doesn't want to go to court, so they are doing arbitration.

The reason is because they both presented supplements (or in Brock's case, a foot cream) that USADA tested and verified did contain the substance they popped for. However, they are not getting the Yoel Romero break, because Romero disclosed the tainted supplement he took in his prefight questionnaire before his fight, and these two didn't. Obviously thinking they could have went to every GMC in their town to find a tainted supplement, USADA wants to give them both a very stiff punishment, maybe the full 2 years.

edit: arbitration will cost them both $55k to pay the arbitrators
