Nick Lembo of the NJACB said that none of the fighters at UFC 78 (11/17 Newark, New Jersey) failed their drug tests.
Hidehiko Yoshida says that he will not fight on NYE.
Luke Thomas thinks WEC + UFC = The Future.
Dave Meltzer says that Paulo Filho might be the world’s best middleweight.
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
‘street’ drugs, unauthorized prescription drugs and banned over the
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?

“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?”
That’s what I would think, too, except the event was on November 17 so all of those test results should have come back a while ago.
[…] listing fighters who aren’t on their card like Arona, and just 4 official fights thus far. One guy it will not be is Hidehiko Yoshida, who was rumored a few weeks ago as a possible opponent. No word on HMC, though […]
