The twenty fighters who performed at UFC Fight Night 29, in Barueri (SP), passed their drug tests carried out during the event. No illegal substances were detected in the twenty tests and in four additional tests taken after the night of fights.

The four athletes who were selected for an extra doping test after the event were: Thiago Silva, Joey Beltran, Jake Shields and Rousimar “Toquinho” Palhares. What the quartet has in common is the fact that they have previously tested positive for prohibited substances.
