Other key facts and figures

Fighters are subject to forfeiture of their UFC ranking, belt, and purse or other compensation due to a failed test. Results for fighters will also be overturned to DQ losses.

Any purse, compensation or fine will be put toward the cost of the UFC’s anti-doping program and/or anti-doping research.

A minimum of 2750 tests per year spread across the entire UFC roster, which will be administered without advance notice. Testing can include EPO, HGH, blood, urine, and CIR.

Fighters will be required to alert USADA of their whereabouts at all times.

A “whistleblower” line will be made available to fighters.

Failure to properly notify USADA or miss a drug test altogether constitutes a strike against a fighter. Three strikes in a year is the equivalent of a failed drug test.

Past failures prior to the new policy will be taken into consideration (under “aggravating circumstances”) when assessing punishments for repeat offenders.

All fighter tests and locations — that is, location of the tests taken — will be available on the USADA website, searchable by fighter.

USADA has full control over drug testing procedure, with no input from the UFC.

If a commission-issued punishment is deemed less harsh than the UFC’s, the UFC-issued punishment will still be implemented as a deterrent.
