ACA president Magomed Bubulatov candidly discussed drug testing in his organization, admitting that more fighters use performance-enhancing drugs than compete clean. He revealed that fighters accepting bouts on short notice are usually clean because they "don't have time to take anything." Bubulatov acknowledged that implementing comprehensive drug testing is expensive and suggested Russian promotions should collaborate on anti-doping efforts, though he considers this unlikely. The organization began testing fighters six months ago after giving them time to clear their systems, and has compiled data on which fighters use banned substances. Bubulatov is considering year-long suspensions for violators but has not finalized a policy, stating the issue cannot be solved by ACA alone without cooperation from other Russian MMA organizations.
