to test fighters that drop out of a fight due to injury? It cant be that expensive...Originally Posted by parsons99
Nike is the biggest spender on athlete endorsement deals in the world. Its annual report shows it has signed commitments for $3.2 billion worth of endorsement deals over the next five years. Jone Jones of the UFC alone is being paid $20,000 annually.

Have you seen the amount of fighters dropping out of fights due to injury it could get crazy expensive lol. Seriously though I believe that the increased injuries is a result of fighters not juicing any more. When you juice your muscles heal faster take that away and with the intensity of MMA injuries will and have gone up.
You can't test injured fighters, they may already be taking something to help the healing that is a banned substance when prepping for a fight. Dumb idea...
but the point is catching the guys that pull out cause they will be pissing hot. I think that is ****ing up alot of the cards and nothing is being done to stop it. Its crazy.

So, you disagree with the doctors who examine the fighters?
Where'd you go to medical school?
Again, ALL of them are subject to random testing. If you take any roids at any time in your training, you run the risk of pissing hot. You don't know when you might be tested.
In a six month period, with 4 UFC cards being held in Vegas, the NSAC tested 8 fighters that we know of. Ideally, they increase the amount, but there is a very real chance that any fighter signed to compete in Vegas could get tested.
