Both. They have gotten stricter as of late. Kevin Randleman got busted at PRIDE 32 (?). They test them after the fights in PRIDE, and I do not know about UFC.

Cool. Thats what I wanted to know. Greenies when I can send 'em your way again.

I thought I had heard that Randleman had tested positive. I had also heard from a guy at work who has followed MMA for a long time that he thought PRIDE was more lieniant concerning drug screening. Of course, he may not know jack shit.


I just want to see both organizations combine and give the fights everyone wants to see. I want to see everyone fight everyone in their respective weight classes. If there's a decent card the next time they come to Columbus (or Florida, depending where I'm living at the time), I gotta get some good seats. I need to see this shit live.

This is true. Neither have really been that strict. (All of Team Hemmer House comes to mind first) What they do is after the event in both organizations they randomly test a certain amount of people. (not all) Many have tested positive and they do not really have strict consequences.

From what I understand PRIDE only tests for steroids in fights that are sanctioned in the US. In Japan they turn their head. Randleman actually didnt test positive. His urine had no human hormones which indicate a fake piss test. http://www.mmanews.com/pride/The-Fight-Network-Confirms-Kevin-RandlemanDrug-Test-Story.html


Going to have to explain to the wife why im authorizing another fight this sunday... I cant believe Silva is comming back that fast.

Ya. I am looking at this fight kind of like a Belfort fight. I really hope it is old Igor, but who knows what we will get.

Just so everyone knows, I got this information from Sherdog, and the link is from chuteboxe-usa, not PRIDEFC.

I was told that the UFC is trying to move some of there PPVs to HBO. Any truth to this?

The last I heard they were thinking about doing a deal with HBO. HBO's shows would be in addition to their shows on Spike and their PPVs, not a replacement.
