TORONTO – UFC middleweight Elias Theodorou has been beating the drum for the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency to change its stance on medical cannabis. Theodorou (16-2 MMA, 8-2 UFC), who defeated Eryk Anders (11-3 MMA, 3-3 UFC) by split decision on Saturday at UFC 231, has been a major proponent of allowing a greater window for cannabis use ahead of stepping in the octagon, but thus far his efforts have not materialized how he’s wanted. An attempt to receive a therapeutic-use exception from USDADA ahead of UFC 231 did not bare any fruit , but Theodorou said he won’t stop trying to create change.
