ACA president reveals majority of fighters test positive for banned substances

ACA president Magomed Bubulatov has candidly discussed doping issues within the promotion, stating that more fighters test positive for banned substances than test clean. Bubulatov revealed that fighters accepting bouts on short notice are typically the cleanest, suggesting they don't have time to use performance-enhancing drugs. The promotion implemented a six-month grace period for fighters to clean their systems and allowed certain recovery substances. Bubulatov acknowledged that comprehensive testing is expensive and expressed interest in collaborating with other Russian promotions, though he considers such cooperation unlikely. He is considering one-year suspensions for violators but has not finalized a policy.
