"I hope our guys aren't using drugs," said UFC President Dana White. "But we'll see how this thing plays out."
Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) today (Weds., June 3, 2015) held a special media press conference (video here) to announce its partnership with United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA), who will serve as the independent administrator for the promotion's new drug-testing policy.
That includes unannounced, year-round, in- and out-of-competition drug testing (blood and urine), modeled on the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) code, which takes effect July 1, 2015. That means UFC 189 participants can expect to be part of the new regime.
