Do you want to increase testing?

"Yes. We're going to do our own testing, order these guys into [a lab]; we're sorting it out now. You have to do this to save the sport. You can't have these guys fighting on this stuff."

i thought they announced they were doing this awhile ago

if you piss hot, you get a phone call saying GET CLEAN BEFORE THE COMMISSION TEST MOTHERFUCKER. And otherwise, the ufc uses this to cut boring fighters.

Funny yet possible take on that, but I don't know how that could be possible of the commission is doing random drug tests.

This does not please me.

I thought Dana said it was impossible for them to do their own testing

guess its clear no one bought Dana's bullshit "its to hard to drug test them all" excuse.

It was hard to test them all, plus Dana knows that if everyone is clean 100% of the time 50% of main events and big fights get cancelled during camp due to injury, but with big fights being cancelled anyway due to testing issues, causing longer term problems than injuries, the UFC has to do something. Also, this is a PR move.
