Anderson Silva Failed Second Drug Test?, Joe Rogan On Silva's Failure, Daniel Cormier's Next Fight

- While not confirmed by the Nevada State Athletic Commission, MMAJunkie.com is reporting that Anderson Silva failed an additional drug test for his UFC 183 bout against Nick Diaz. A date of the failure or any other additional details have not yet been revealed.

- UFC announcer Joe Rogan was very outspoken on the PED issues during the latest Joe Rogan Experience podcast, talking about what motivates fighters to use PED's, as well as Silva's drug test failure. Thanks to MMA Junkie for the transcription.

"Anderson was coming back from an injury, and the way I understand it, he tested positive for metabolites. It was leaving his system, a very trace amount. If that was the case, it could be that he got on some steroids to recover quicker. Because what steroids do, is they allow you to recover quicker," Rogan said.

"So if he's 39 years old and he breaks his leg, you're looking at a long-ass recovery period. Or you take steroids and you recover in nine months instead of 15 months or fill in the blank. That could be what's going on, but the reality is it's illegal. If it takes you 15 months, the excuse cannot be, 'I'm going to take some illegal drugs so I heal quicker.' No, you're never allowed to take steroids."

- UFC 182 headliner Daniel Cormier has been booked for his first fight following his unsuccessful challenge of Jon Jones' title.

"I'm fighting Ryan Bader on June 6 in New Orleans live on FOX Sports 1 in a five-round main event. I start my trek back to the UFC light heavyweight championship. I can't wait," Cormier said on UFC Tonight.

Ryan Bader is experiencing a career resurgence, winning four fights in a row. He's ranked fifth in the UFC Light Heavyweight division.
