Here is CNBC’s press release about their upcoming special on ‘Ultimate Fighting’ this Thursday.
According to MMA Betting Blog, there was little betting action on the TUF 6 finale card (as compared to the Mayweather/Hatton boxing card).
No real serious medical suspensions coming out of the TUF 6 finale event.

The NJACB announcement was a bit weird in that it specifically states that all of the fighters were tested for “performance enhancers, alcohol, illegal

counter substances,” and then it just says at the end, “None of the competitors tested positive for banned performance enhancers.”
It does not address, one way or the other, whether any fighters tested positive for “alcohol, illegal
’street’ drugs, unauthorized prescription drugs, or banned over the
counter substances.”
Might be that only the performance enhancer tests are through. Remember for a few of the UFCs, we were getting the drug results in parts … part 1 was steroids, part 2 was illegal drugs, and part 3 was like diuretics or something?
