ACA president Magomed Bubulatov has provided candid comments about doping control in the league, revealing that more fighters test positive for banned substances than test clean. Bubulatov stated that fighters who accept bouts on short notice are typically clean because "they don't have time to take anything." He acknowledged that implementing comprehensive drug testing is expensive and suggested Russian promotions should unite to address the issue, though he considers this unlikely. The president mentioned that ACA gave fighters six months to clear their systems and allowed certain permitted substances, but enforcement remains uncertain. Bubulatov is considering one-year suspensions for violators but has not finalized a policy.
