Having announced the split from the United States Anti Doping Agency (USADA), the UFC have now created their own created their own drug-testing programme...
The United States Anti-Doping Agency announced they are ceasing their work with the UFC effective January 1, 2024. This move has drawn a wide range of emotions and reactions from those within the combat sports space, and now the promotion's heavyweight champion has decided to chime in as well.
The U.S. Anti-Doping Agency announced Wednesday that UFC fighter Conor McGregor had officially entered the testing pool hinting it line up schedule-wise for a UFC 300 bout next year. However, USADA CEO Travis Tygart released a statement in a news release stating there is a wrinkle to the "good news" and that USADA's partnership with the UFC will be coming to an end.
While it is not uncommon for a UFC fight card to see some bouts fallout of the marque, it is rare for both the main event and co-main event to fall through. In the case of UFC 294, it hit that unique mark and landed on its feet somehow.
