ACA President admits most fighters use banned substances

ACA President Magomed Bubulatov made candid admissions about doping in the promotion during an interview. He stated there are more fighters using banned substances than clean athletes, and that fighters accepting bouts on short notice are typically clean because they haven't had time to use anything. Bubulatov revealed ACA implemented a six-month grace period for fighters to clear their systems and began testing, with data showing who uses more or fewer banned substances. He noted doping control is expensive and suggested Russian promotions should collaborate, though he considers this unlikely. The organization is considering year-long suspensions for violators but hasn't finalized a policy. Bubulatov acknowledged that without industry-wide cooperation, ACA alone cannot solve Russia's doping problem.
