ACA president reveals most fighters fail drug tests, replacement fighters cleanest

ACA president Magomed Bubulatov candidly discussed the state of drug testing in his promotion during an interview. He revealed that more fighters test positive for banned substances than those who are clean. Bubulatov stated that fighters who accept bouts on short notice are typically the cleanest, suggesting they don't have time to use performance-enhancing drugs. The ACA gave fighters six months to clean their systems and allowed certain permitted substances. Bubulatov acknowledged that implementing comprehensive drug testing is expensive and suggested Russian promotions should collaborate, though he doubts this will happen. He is considering one-year suspensions for violators but has not finalized a policy.
