JRE MMA Show #184 with Aljamain Sterling · Aired Aug 11, 2026
Claim summary · not a verbatim quotation
UFC fighters are subject to random drug testing by USADA.
The finding
What the evidence shows
This is out of date. The UFC and USADA ended their partnership, with USADA testing stopping as of January 1, 2024. The UFC now runs its anti-doping program through Drug Free Sport International instead, so fighters haven't been under USADA's random testing for a while now.
