UFC on FOX 1 Drug Tests Come Back Clean

[No More Sorrow]

All drug tests conducted at this past month's landmark UFC on FOX 1 event came back clean.

A California State Athletic Commission official today confirmed with MMAjunkie.com that tests for both recreational drugs and steroids/performance-enhancing drugs all were passed.

UFC on FOX took place Nov. 12 at Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif.

The one-fight main card aired on FOX as the UFC's network-TV debut. Junior Dos Santos defeated Cain Velasquez in quick fashion to take the UFC's heavyweight title in the featured attraction.

Dos Santos, Velasquez, Ben Henderson, Clay Harvison, Ricardo Lamas, Clay Guida, Cub Swanson, Mackens Semerzier, DaMarques Johnson and Robert Peralta were tested for steroids.

Dos Santos, Velasquez, Aaron Rosa, Guida, Semerzier, Lamas, Pablo Garza, Peralta, Johnson, Swanson, Harvison, Matt Lucas, Henderson and Dustin Poirier were tested for drugs of abuse.

Most major athletic commissions traditionally tests both main-event fighters, all winning fighters and any competitors who previously failed drug tests. However, some of the testing remains random, and all fighters are subject to it.

Would have been a big negative if one of the fighters on this card failed a drug test since this was UFC's debut on FOX. Good to see that fewer and fewer guys are getting on the stuff and most now realise that there is nothing to gain from it.
