Anderson Silva may be considered one of the best mixed martial artists of all time, but “The Spider” will forever be connected to his UFC 183 positive drug test. Like it or not, Silva has been suspended for performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs) and remains hot on the newly-instated United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) radar.
According to USADA’s testing database (h/t Champions.co) , Silva has been tested a grand total of 15 times so far this year. That’s tops for all Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) fighters. Current UFC bantamweight champion Dominick Cruz and the now retired Dan Henderson have each been tested 10 times in 2016, which is good for second place.
