Promoter: We 'did not think about' drug testing Fedor or Maldonado

Fedor and Fabio Maldonado will not be drug tested ahead of their June 17 clash in St Petersburg, Russia.

The Fight Nights: Fedor vs. Maldonado card will not feature any drug testing regulations, including the main event competitors.

According to Russian outlet Tass.ru, Fight Nights promoter Kamil Gadzhiev opted not to conduct doping tests for the June 17 clash. Fight Nights does not regularly undergo drug testing for the fighters on their shows and they did not see any reason to make an exception this time around.

"We will not check for doping," Kamil said.
